Key note: “The game between Sunderland and Liverpool at Roker Park was a remarkably spirited one, especially in the first half. Both sets of forwards were fast, and the half-backs and backs found it difficult to hold them. There was scarcely a minute in the half when a fierce attack on either goal was not in progress, and the 15,000 spectators had an abundance of excitement. The Liverpool front rank were the prettier to watch, and they had a magnificent winger in Sheldon, who was as effective as any player on the field.” (Newcastle Journal: September 14, 1914)
