Notes

  • - Bill McPherson makes his LFC debut
  • - Bill McPherson scores his first LFC goal
  • - "As centre half Maurice Parry made his debut in a League match more successfully than his indecisive movements of the preceding Monday promised. With both captain [Raisbeck] and vice-captain [Dunlop] absentees, Parry had further responsibility as acting skipper (it seems a long time since Liverpool had an English skipper), and his was a noble example." - Cricket and Football Field
