PROFILE
Jackie was a winger who joined Liverpool from Manchester United about a third of
the way through the 1913-14 season. In that debut season, he missed only 3 league fixtures
once he had been introduced into the side at the end of November and also played in all 8
of the FA cup ties which saw Liverpool reach their first major final. But there was great
disappointment for all concerned at the club after the single-goal defeat by Lancashire
rivals Burnley at the old Crystal Palace ground.
In the last full League season for four years, only one man, Jimmy Nicholl, made
more appearances and only Frederick Pagnam and Tom Miller scored more goals than Sheldon.
Jackie had two more good years at Anfield when the war was over, missing just 5 and 7
league fixtures respectively during those two seasons. His last appearance for the club
came against Derby County on 16th April 1921. He retired through injury. |
