Below is the team photo from the year I was born.
I have decided to try and find out as much as I can about the side from the year of my birth.
Liverweb has all the years available, post the team of your birth date and try and find out something unique about your team.
A special player, a special game anything that hasn't been written before.
The one I have decided to choose is
Antonio C RowleyAntonio Camilio Rowley scored a hat-trick on his league debut on the opening day of the 1954-55 season. He didn't score in the next two following games and then got injured. Rowley's career at Liverpool was bizarre. He didn't play much during the season due to injuries and bad form, but always managed to win a place in the starting 11 at the end of the season and score more than his fair share of goals. He scored 8 goals in 13 matches in his opening season, 6 goals in 7 matches the next, followed by 7 in 14 matches in 1956-57.
Rowley finally put a run together of 19 consecutive games in his final season, scoring 8 goals in 6 successive matches, but then injuries prevailed again and he was sold to 3rd division Tranmere when two months were left of the season. He continued to score goals for Tranmere, 47 goals in 100 league matches, which is still below his LFC average.
never heard of the lad before.
I have established he played for
Wellington Town
Birmingham City
Stourbridge
Liverpool
& Tranmere.
He scored 16 league goals between August and December 1957.
There is no record of him being at Liverpool after January 1958.
Such a prolific goalscorer, what happened to his career after such a glowing start to the season.
I have established he acheived one cap for WALES.
Will add anything I can find, when I find it.
Perhaps if everyone makes an effort, we can produce a file of
"Forgotten Heroes".Will post my arl fellahs team later and try and find something special about his team.
