Here you will find the signatures of old Liverpool players, directors and managers that I have found on ancestry.co.uk. They are from the 1911 Census and also contain the address where they were living at the time. John Houlding (from the Everton Collection): William Barclay (from the Everton […]
Wednesday, February 7 – 1917 Lucas, who was away last week, was down with “flu.” His deputy, Jenkinson, who reminds one much of Percy Saul, the old Liverpool back, who now helps Rotherham, played a capital game. I ran across “young Tom,” otherwise Sergeant Tom Watson, this week. […]

Wednesday, November 23 – 1910 It is admitted on all sides that the quality of the football served up at Anfield this season has not been the brand expected from a team such as Liverpool; but there are indications that the Reds are gradually finding their form, and […]
August 23, 1909 It is difficult to express with any degree of accuracy the prospects of the Anfielders for the coming season. The wearisome experiences of last year tried the loyalty of the club’s supporters to the core, and that wholesale changes were necessary became patent long before […]
July 11, 1909 Coventry City are building up a capable team but by far their must important capture is Percy Saul, who has played for Liverpool for the past three seasons. He was formerly with Plymouth. He is a right back, is twenty five years of age, stands […]
June 13, 1909 There has been something akin to an upheavel at Anfield-road. In every respect last season was a disastrous one, although Liverpool profited by the misfortune of other clubs and just managed to remain in the First League. John Cox, Alex Raisbeck, Alf West, Maurice Parry, […]
Monday, February 8 – 1909 Norwich City surprised Liverpool completely. The latter expected a walk-over, but got bowled over instead. Norwich City were better in every department than their more famous rivals. Charlie Craig was the most prominent man on the field, with Tommy Allsopp a good second. […]

January 20, 1909 Thunder and lightning, and a strong blizzard, formed the setting to one of the most exhilarating games seen at Turf Moor this season, when Burnley Reserves met and right well defeated the Liverpool Reserves. Notwithstanding the fact that the ground was heavy with the recent […]

December 12, 1908 Well done, Liverpool! The forlorn hope succeeded where others had not only failed but had been heavily repulsed. To Saturday Sheffield Wednesday had gained every possible point at Owlerton, yet a mere remmant Liverpool team actually won on their merits by the odd goal in […]
December 5, 1908 The Wednesday and Liverpool met in fine weather before about 16,000 people at Owlerton, Sheffield, this afternoon. The visiting side was very weak, as places had to be found for Sam Hardy, Percy Saul, Tom Rogers, John Cox and Arthur Goddard. Teams: The Wednesday: Jack […]
December 5, 1908 Liverpool can scarcely expect to gain championship honours unless their luck changes. Look at the following list: – Sam Hardy. – Seriously injured v. Manchester City; date of return to service not fixed. Tom Rogers. – Injured at Nottingham two months ago; resumed training two […]
November 28, 1908 Liverpool’s hard fight. Although defeat was Liverpool’s lot at Middlesbrough, I would hasten to compliment the team upon showing a most encouraging improvement in form all round. When one looks at the galaxy of talent included in the present day Tee-side eleven, one is surprised […]

November 21, 1908 The case of Liverpool. Turn we now to Liverpool, who on Saturday received a most useful lift in the shape of two points from Preston North End, this win carrying their total to 15 points for 14 matches, which is a point ahead of last […]

November 14, 1908 Concerning Liverpool In the Liverpool camp the picture cannot be painted in such bright colours. When the season opened the Reds began promisingly, and were labelled “dangerous” for honours by the knowing ones, whereas the “young” Everton eleven, of whom I wrote in August, were […]
November 7, 1908 In this match at Bristol, this afternoon, Liverpool played Goode for Ronald Orr, and Bristol made six changes in the side that lost so heavily to Manchester City. It included Latham for the first time from the reserve team, for which he has been a […]
