LFC can equal safc 128 year record !

Sorry if this been mentioned, in the Liverpool match report on BBC website it says that LFC can match SAFC 128 year old record of winning every home game in a season!
 


We nivva spent £500m, Fook em...
Weren’t we referred to as the Bank of England club once upon a time?
May not have been £500m but then 20 years ago the most expensive player in the world was only about £30m. A pittance 128 years ago is hundreds of millions in today’s money.
Don’t we still hold the record for breaking the world’s highest transfer fee the most times?

Amazingly one of those world record fees was paid to South Shields

That was in the post war period when we tried to recreate our success which the war interrupted, (2nd world war)

I think we're level with Real Madrid.
 
Alf Common?

Think the Shields lad was Warney Cresswell

Cheers - learned something today.

He began his career during World War I, playing in the Scottish Football League with Morton, Heart of Midlothian and Hibernian, before signing with English Second Division club South Shields in 1919. Three years later he moved into the First Division when he was bought by Sunderland for a world-record fee of £5,500. He made 190 league and cup appearances and helped the "Black Cats" to a second-place finish in 1922–23, before moving on to Everton for £7,000 in 1927. He helped the "Toffees" to win the English Football League championship in 1927–28 and 1931–32, the Second Division championship in 1930–31, the FA Cup in 1933, and the FA Community Shield in 1928 and 1932.

£5,500 in 1922 is worth £314,589.87
 
It’s crazy to think that the north east was once the most affluent footballing area in the world

All it takes is 2 owners similar to Man City and the area is right back up there.

That's why billionaires taking over the mags doesn't bother me temporarily as increases our chances of something similar happening.
