AS Kenny Dalglish sets about re-building his squad this summer, he may find inspiration in something that happened nearly 100 years ago in 1912, when The Reds had slipped from top of the first division in 1906 to a lowly 17th. Inspired signings by manager Tom Watson set Liverpool back on the road to being one of the most successful teams ever. JACQUELINE WADSWORTH, whose grandfather played in that team, tells the story.

 

THEY WERE known as ‘The Untouchables’ and spoken of as one of at the finest teams ever seen, Liverpool FC, winners of the League Championship in the back-to-back seasons of 1922 and 1923.
