August 21, 1944 Though it didn’t produce anything wilding exciting, the pre-season game between Everton and Liverpool was a pleasant introduction to Soccer joys ahead, and provided a nice little windfall of £1,150 for the Lord Mayor’s War Fund. It also showed that Everton have some spots to […]
October 5, 1942 As I anticipated Liverpool duly preserved their unbeaten record and completed their “double” by beating Bury at Anfield. The Reds won 5-2, but the score was not a true reflection of the game. Give each club another five goals apiece and you would be nearer […]
September 21, 1942 There was more drama packed into the ninety minutes of the Merseyside “Derby” between Everton and Liverpool at Goodison Park on Saturday than one sees in a dozen wartime games. It boasted a crop of goals, skill and artistry of peacetime vintage, the truest example […]

March 18, 1942 The stars which Rochdale had in their side on Saturday at Spotland against Liverpool were disappointing. On paper the team seemed strong enough to offer reasonable opposition to any eleven, yet long before the game was over we had found it necessary to remind ourselves […]
December 22, 1941 Liverpool were unlucky to lose a point to Stoke at Anfield, not because the other side got the equaliser a few minutes before the end, but because two of Liverpool’s selected team – Richard Dorsett and Willie Fagan – failed to reach the ground, and […]
Wednesday, December 27 – 1939 Had anyone six months ago prep healed the time would come when a Christmas gate between Everton and Liverpool would be regarded as satisfactory. If it touched 8,000 spectators, we should like little Audrey, have laughed and laughed and laughed. War has caused […]

February 12, 1939 Wolves fully deserved their victory. But hey had to fight all the way. Dirk Kemp, the Liverpool’s South African goalkeeper, was off form and was at fault with two of Wolves’ goals. The first one, scored by Stan Burton in the eight minute, came through […]

September 8, 1930 Draw after being two goals behind. Penalty dispute. Mr. J.O. Rickwood, of Sheffield, had controlled this game in a way which had scarcely drawn a murmur from the crowd of 18,000. He had always been well placed, and his decisions had given universal satisfaction, until […]

Wednesday, December 6 – 1916 Whatever may be said of the justice of the penalty-kick awarded Liverpool on Saturday, the fact remains that tere is much discussion regarding the “outcome.” Metcalf took the kick, and screwed wide. It is claimed by Everton and supported by evidence from “the […]
