  • Tour: Tour of Czechoslovakia (1961)
  • Slater, Molyneux, Byrne, Wheeler, White, Milne, Callaghan, St John, Hunt, Carlin (Melia 46), Morrissey.

    In reality Liverpool's opponent was a regional eleven, with many of its team coming from the Brno club Rudá Hvezda, which had reached the quarter-final stage of the European Cup Wiinners' cup in the 1960-61 season before being eliminated by Dinamo Zagreb.
