Tuesday, August 1 – 1939
Everton Football Club have but one decision to make before they enter on the season of 1939-40. This is to select the skipper for the season. The Blues do not make their appointment until the players have been back in training for some days.
The directors are not holding a meeting until next Tuesday, I anticipate that they will choose the skipper at that meeting. Last season Jock Thomson was the skipper and Billy Cook vice-captain. In the latter part of the season when Thomson had a back injury, Cook was the regular first team leader.
