James Garner

James Garner

Just five Football League matches are recorded for Garner in Liverpool's colours, spread over two seasons. He played three consecutive games at right-back as Tommy Lucas was out injured in December 1924 and in the penultimate game of that season at left-back. His fifth and final appearance came in the 1-1 home draw with Leeds on 10 October 1925 once again standing in for Lucas. Garner featured regularly for Southport in Third Division North, but a knee injury restricted his progress during his one year at New Brighton 1927-1928.

Kop Quote

Berger in the 2002-2003 season

"I was fit at the beginning of the season but I wasn't playing. There is no point in staying here. I want to play football. I can't say my Liverpool career has been great. Nor can I say it has been bad. I've had good times, I've had bad times. Actually I have been through everything since I have been at Liverpool. Whatever you can experience, I have experienced."

Can The Reds Qualify For The Champions League Next Year?

26 February 2026

At the beginning of this season, many Liverpool fans would have been hopeful that they were on their way to retaining their title. After an expensive summer transfer window, where Arne Slot was given close to half a billion pounds to spend, it looked as though The Reds had strengthened in more than enough positions to mount a successful defense against Arsenal and Manchester City.

Goalkeepers with the Most Clean Sheets in Liverpool History

23 February 2026

Goalkeepers aren't just another member of a football's squad. They're the last point of contact for the ball; they can often decide the fate of games by their heroics - or villainy - within the sticks.

Are Liverpool fans being too harsh on Arne Slot?

19 February 2026

Right now, Liverpool face a real battle to make their way back into the Champions League next season via their Premier League position. It comes hot on the heels of their title triumph last year, which coincided with Arne Slot’s first campaign in charge of the Reds.

Why Accurate Data and Secure Transactions are Essential for the Modern Football Archivist in the 2025-26 Campaign

18 February 2026

In the heart of Anfield's shadows, Liverpool FC archivists sift through grainy 1970s tapes of Bill Shankly's roars alongside 4K drone footage from the 2025-26 Premier League campaign. A single disputed offside call from last month's derby against Everton risks distorting Mohamed Salah's goal tally. For Liverpool FC, archiving isn't nostalgia; it's a high-stakes battle to digitise 133 years of history amid exploding data volumes. In 2025-26, with the club's open digital archive portal launching and VAR disputes up 15%, accurate data preservation ensures legends like Kenny Dalglish and Steven Gerrard endure untainted.
