Peter McKinney

McKinney made three appearances in Liverpool's forward-line during the 1920/21 season. His debut was against Sheffield United early in October 1920 and he scored Liverpool's first goal in a 2-2 Anfield draw. But he had to wait until the following April before being selected again. His third and final game was in the last match of the season, a convincing 3-0 home win over Arsenal. A year after leaving Liverpool, McKinney emigrated to the United States and joined the New York Giants where he played for seven years from 1923-1930 settling down...

Kop Quote

Field Sport on Joe McQue in 1892

McQue, the centre half, is a finely built young fellow, with superb tackling powers and excellent judgement of the ball, and it is certain that Celtic's loss will prove a gain to Liverpool.

Why Accurate Data and Secure Transactions are Essential for the Modern Football Archivist in the 2025-26 Campaign

18 February 2026

In the heart of Anfield's shadows, Liverpool FC archivists sift through grainy 1970s tapes of Bill Shankly's roars alongside 4K drone footage from the 2025-26 Premier League campaign. A single disputed offside call from last month's derby against Everton risks distorting Mohamed Salah's goal tally. For Liverpool FC, archiving isn't nostalgia; it's a high-stakes battle to digitise 133 years of history amid exploding data volumes. In 2025-26, with the club's open digital archive portal launching and VAR disputes up 15%, accurate data preservation ensures legends like Kenny Dalglish and Steven Gerrard endure untainted.

18 February 2026

Being a Liverpool fan is special. Growing up with legendary players such as John Barnes, Ian Rush, Steven Gerrard and the wonder of Istanbul in 2005 nurtured my love for the club. In recent years, under the guidance of Jürgen Klopp and Virgil van Dijk, The Reds have soared to new heights with the Champions League in 2019 as their latest mark of dominance in Europe. I will also never forget the introduction of Georginio Wijnaldum at half-time and the corner taken by Trent Alexander-Arnold against Barcelona in the semi-final that year.
