- - Britain had declared war on Germany on 4th August and a few days before this game Lord Derby had began a recruitment drive. The following evening the Liverpool Echo published a picture of fans on the Kop with the headline ‘THE SPION KOP ARMY’ and caption underneath ‘There is room for some of them in the ranks.’ The paper otherwise completely disregarded the game, not even mentioning the result
