Philip Kelly

Kelly played three games in the Lancashire league for Liverpool in the 1892/93 season. Towards the end of the season, he was attacked by two of the opposing team resulting in a leg injury which ended his brief playing career. However, he maintained an active interest in football, working as a trainer for various amateur teams. He made a career of scouting talented players and also had his hands full with 13 children!

Kop Quote

Tommy Smith on Roger Hunt

People talk about Keegan and Toshack or Rush and Dalglish when they are asked about great Liverpool striking duos, but I talk about Hunt and St John. When I pick my greatest ever Liverpool team then Roger Hunt is the first forward I put in.

We used to call him 'Over-the-bar Hunt'. Everyone used to get mail, praising you, calling you names or simply asking for an autograph. Roger used to get a letter on a regular basis from a lad, who clearly didn't like him. It always used to start. 'Dear Over-the-bar-Hunt. I see you missed another couple of sitters on Saturday.'

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.
