The team of the macs


Saturday, January 6 – 1900
Blackburn Rovers, Wolverhampton Wanderers, Sheffield United, and West Bromwich Albion employ English players more regularly than other League clubs. Liverpool are decidedly Scotch. At one time their team was known as “the team of the Macs” because it included eight players whose  names commenced with that popular Scottish prefix. (Sunderland Daily Echo, 06-01-1900)
