Tuesday, September 26 – 1933
Dixie Dean, the Everton centre-forward, was injured in the game against Arsenal, and at the moment there is some doubt as to weather he will be able to play against Liverpool next Saturday, I understand the trouble is a sprained ankle, which forced him to retire for about five minutes in the second half of the game against Arsenal, and he finished the match, under difficulties It is hoped he will be fit to turn out against the Anfielders.
Convincing victories.
The victories of Liverpool and Everton over. Tottenham and Arsenal on Saturday completed a notable double, and the scores left no doubt as to the convincing victories of Liverpool over London. I note that the old-time excuse “the ball did not run kindly” for the losers, has been trotted out again. Some of the Southern critics will have to alter their ideas and give credit to teams that defeat their pet clubs. Liverpool are the first team to beat the Spurs at White Hart-Lane since 1931, and Everton gave Arsenal the heaviest defeat they have had for some time.
The Derby Meeting.
These victories add to the interest in the meeting of Liverpool and Everton at Anfield next Saturday. Everyone will want to see Berry Nieuwenhuys, Liverpool‘s new right-winger from South Africa, who made so successful a debut at Tottenham. Two of his centres led to goals, a good enough start for anyone, but I am told his general play, once he had settle down, gave indication that Liverpool have secured a player who should make his mark in the game. There is certain to be a great crowd at Anfield this week-end.
