Player Notes:
Scottish centre-half McQue was in the Liverpool team that won the Lancashire League in the club's inaugural season. His claim to fame is also scoring in Liverpool's first-ever Football League match in 1893, a Second Division fixture away to Middlesbrough Ironopolis. He was described as "a finely built young fellow, with superb tackling powers and excellent judgement of the ball." He only missed two games as the club easily won the title by 12 points from Small Heath in second place, winning 22 and drawing 6 of their 28 games. McQue initially struggled with the pace of the 1st division: "Compared with last year's brilliance a great falling off is most noticeable in McQue." (Liverpool Mercury - september 1894). Liverpool weren't strong or experienced enough to cope with life in First Division, but only Harry Bradshaw made more league appearances for the club than McQue in 1894-95. The Scot won his second Division Two championship medal with Liverpool in 1896 and continued to represent the club for a further two years, helping them to establish themselves in the top division. |
