A player from our history
Donald McKinlay
Few came tougher than Donald McKinlay who was Liverpool's captain from 1922-1928. He certainly enjoyed his two decades at the Reds: "If I had 20 years to go again, I would go back to them," he said in 1955. McKinlay made his debut for Liverpool 19 years of age on 20 April 1910 when Liverpool defeated Nottingham Forest 7-3 with Jack Parkinson grabbing four. He only made two appearances as left-half the following season and featured on the right and left of the half-back line at the close of 1911/12. McKinlay was slowly making a name for himself…
