Also two Blackburn Rovers players got themselves in the wrong photo..
Also looks like there are a few brothers in this team. Again......Great photo.

Spot the 'keeper!

In those days the 'keepers wore the same shirts as outfield players. In this team photo I think they are lined up in the team positions. My Grandad was a full back so at the back we have the two full backs with the goalie in the middle. Middle row is right-half, centre-half and left-half and the five forwards at the front.

Methuselah - I haven't got an old Everton photo but I have got an old photo of a Liverpool local team which includes my grandad. I think it is taken in about 1899. There is nothing on the photo to identify the team but I think it is a team called Valkyrie FC. I think it might be interesting for some GOT members. There is also a possible Titanic link -

And boots.
I remember my old grandads football boots. How they played football I don't know. But of course the ball was heavy as well. The ball could cause an injury if not connected with properly.
Modern footballers have it easy. Just look at Davies. No shin pads. And socks rolled down. He'd have been chicken fodder to these guys.
