Monday, November 11 – 1912 Liverpool appear to be partial to four goals judging from their recent performances, and their victory at Middlesbrough affords further evidence of the capabilities of their reconstructed forward line. Like Everton, they are being badly hit by injuries to their players, no fewer […]
Monday, October 28 – 1912 Like their neighbours across the Park, Liverpool are experiencing trouble with their players. First of all Lacey was injured at Owlerton, which necessitated another outside left being introduced to the League team, while a week ago Gracie, who had shown capital form at […]
August 26, 1912 Having escaped the clutches of the Second Division by the merest margin last April, it is only natural to suppose that the Liverpool team will enjoy a most successful season. A see-saw policy has been characteristic of the Anfielders for many winters, and they may, […]
August 25, 1912 Liverpool without Sam Hardy next season will appear strange, but those connected with the club believe that in young Kenneth Campbell they have found a worthy successor to the English International. Hardy joined Liverpool as quite a youngster, and in a season ousted a Scots […]

August 28, 1911 The Anfield club, who have thirty-one players on their wage-list, should be able to place a strong eleven on the field to represent them in their League engagements. They have dispensed with few of their experienced men, and the abilities of the new-comers will bear […]
