Who was the best Liverpool player ever (up to 1939)?

Saturday, February 4 – 1939
The competition asking for the six most famous footballers of Liverpool F.C., in order of merit, led to a large survey of famous names and apparently created much pleasure and profitable thought. The result of the competition is that Elisha Scott tops the poll.

1. – Elisha Scott.
2. – Alex Raisbeck.
3. – Harry Chambers.
