Notes

  • - Peter Thompson scores his first LFC goal
  • - Alf Arrowsmith scores his first LFC goal
  • - Visiting goalkeeper Michael Finlayson had to leave the field on 71st minute after injuring a hand in making a save from a Peter Thompson shot. Finlayson was replaced in goal by forward Jimmy Murray with Leslie Edwards of The Liverpool Echo newspaper cruelly saying in his report that Murray could not do any worse in goal than he had done at outside-right!
