PROFILE
Forward Arthur Metcalf had a good goals-per-game ratio and was the club's highest
scorer in the 1912-13 season, when he netted 15 times from 28 matches. He also scored a
hat-trick in the FA cup that year with three of Liverpool's four goals in a fine 2nd round
victory away to Arsenal. But he neither played nor scored as regularly the following
season, just two goals from 10 games.
Despite the outbreak of war, the 1914-15 league season was completed and Metcalf added
another 7 goals to his career total. Although he never played competitive league football
for Liverpool again, Arthur was a prolific scorer for the club in the local Lancashire
leagues that were arranged to replace the four national divisions. |
