PROFILE
Locally-born Done, who joined Liverpool in 1938 after being spotted playing for Bootle
Boys Brigade, had the bizarre experience of scoring on his first two League appearances
more than seven years apart!
Centre or inside forward Done made his Liverpool debut on September 2 1939 and hit
the only goal of a 1-0 home win over Chelsea. But the Second World War began the next day
and the abandonment of the League programme meant that his next outing in the old First
Division did not come until October 12 1946 when he was on target in the 1-1 home draw
with Charlton.
Although not a first team regular he went on to collect a championship medal that
season and confirmed his wartime scoring form built around a fierce left foot shot. Done
contributed 10 goals - including two hat tricks - in 17 games in the title year as third
top scorer behind Jack Balmer and Albert Stubbins.
Done, who also played cricket for Bootle, totalled 37 goals in 109 senior Liverpool
outings, including a prolific burst of eight goals in seven successive games in November
and December 1948. He joined Tranmere in 1952 and Port Vale two years later - ironically
scoring all four goals in a 4-3 win over Liverpool in 1955 - before joining Winsford
United and managing Skelmersdale United. A tireless worker for cancer charity he died on
the same day as Bobby Moore, in February 1993.
Stats Note for Cyril Done
The games in the 1939-40 season are not considered valid by "Association of
football statisticians", but LFChistory chooses to count them towards player totals
(as many LFC books) as it's open to interpretation whether they should be counted or not.
The games are however not included in their career milestones as they are not publically
acknowledged as such. Total LFC club games/goals for Reserves
