Key note: “Liverpool travelled to Stoke by road, and whom should they bump into at their hotel at luncheon but Jack Parkinson, their old player. It was a vital match for Stoke, and there was a fair-sized crowd to see whether Stoke could win this important game and with it the right to stay in Division 1.” (Liverpool Echo: May 7, 1938)
