1916-1917 Summary
Final League Tables

  << 1915-16                              (Click for:    Appearances and Goals    back to Everton's Results)                              1917-18 >> 

The normal Football League and FA Cup competitions were suspended at the end of the 1914/15 season due to World War I.
The Football League was replaced with regional leagues - a Lancashire Section and a Midlands Section.
In 1916/17 Everton played in the Lancashire Section Principal Tournament up until March 24 1917.
After that date they competed in a further Lancashire Section Subsidiary Tournament - which itself was
sub-regionalised into 4 Groups, with Everton in Group B.
The 4 final Group tables were amalgamated to give a combined Final Table for the Subsidiary Tournament.
In 1916/17 London and Southern League clubs formed their own 'London Combination'.
The FA Cup was not replaced and no Cup competitions were contested.
Match, appearance and goal statistics are not counted in any official records.
