In
a long-running project, the authors have consulted every match report in
Liverpool FC’s history. The third
volume in the series series covers seasons 1908-09 to 1914-15, during which the
club made their first appearances in an FA Cup final.
A
full page of the book is dedicated to each match. Full statistical details include the date and venue, the
line-ups and scorers of both teams, the attendance and referee when known.
Short paragraphs examine the build up to the game and the consequences.
A League table shows the position of all the clubs after the game.
The feature of each page is a detailed report of the game. The original newspaper reports are often lengthy and difficult to read, so the authors took the decision to re-write each match report in a style that we are familiar with today. Goal scorers are highlighted in the text. Many papers have been consulted and comments are included if their reports differ in any detail. The consequence is a new authoritative account of Liverpool FC’s games.
