March 1, 1958
Key note: “After Liverpool’s defence had put up a magnificent fight against a Blackburn side which had enjoyed nearly all the play, Rovers hit two late goals in three minutes to go ahead after Liverpool had led through Murdoch in 19 minutes. Liverpool’s rearguard put up a wonderful show. Had there been an even remotely comparable show of form from the attack the story might have been very different. Liverpool were handicapped by an injury to Harrower, who was little more than a passenger in the second half.” (Liverpool Echo: March 1, 1958)
