Put that in your meerschaum pipes


Friday, October 11 – 1907
Now, my 18-carat, double superfine, fantastic Evertonians, what think ye of Liverpool to-day, eh? Grand win, wasn’t it? 4-2! Just put that in your meerschaum pipes and smoke it. Luck, did you say? Go on! We’ll give you more than that when you make our acquaintance at Anfield, on the 17th day of April, 1908. I’ve laughed until three of my ribs are out of joint, and sixteen hairs of my side-whiskers have turned purple.
