Was wondering did Everton win a cup that year Evertons goalkeeper was Elisha Scott’s older Brother William (Billy) Scott ?
Hi Liz,
Billy Scott was goalkeeper for Everton from July 1904 to August 1912. During his spell at Goodison he won the Cup the season 1905/06 (the same season LFC won the League). The next season, 06/07 Everton once again reached the Cup final, but lost. To this Billy also achieved 3 runners up medals in the League with Everton.
