Liverpool in 1910: Sporting stars who made their name on Merseyside

IN the third of our special five-part series looking at Liverpool life a century ago, Paddy Shennan reflects on the world of sport circa 1910THERE may be a distinct lack of togetherness these days, but Everton and Liverpool were great examples of caring and sharing football clubs a century ago.They may not have had a shared stadium, but, between 1904 and 1935, the clubs produced shared Everton and Liverpool Football Programmes, rather than have their own dedicated editions.But how were our teams doing on the pitch exactly 100 years ago? Well, the 1909/1910 season finished with Aston Villa as champions - although Liverpool were runners-up. Everton finished 10th.And here's the full - very interesting - final table:1. Aston Villa2.
