PROFILE
Some book name Steve Arnold writen how Stephen.
Signed from Crewe in September 1970, Steve made his only first-team appearance for
the Reds in bizarre circumstances. Liverpool incurred the wrath of the Football League
(and received a large fine as a result) by making TEN changes for the penultimate League
match of the season at Manchester City two days after they had won at Nottingham Forest
(Ron Yeats was the only survivor from the Forest match).
The reason was simple. Already in the F.A. cup final, Liverpool had to visit Elland
Road with a place in the Fairs cup final at stake only 2 days after the trip to Maine Road
and Bill Shankly was not prepared to allow his first-choice players to go through such a
punishing schedule with more important fixtures coming up. So if it hadn't been for that
cup-tie at Leeds, Steve would probably never have played a competitive game for Liverpool
at all !
His career at Liverpool or indeed his other clubs never really took off and he
retired from league football when he was 23 years old.
