* The 2nd goal was disputed by Everton, owing to the referee "not being able to see
the ball".
   Everton subsequently protested on the basis that the referee was actually a member  of the
   Great Lever club and the the match was ordered to be replayed on Saturday 27th November.


Everton didn't begin playing FA Cup matches until 1887/88 and were founder members
of the Football League, which began in 1888/89.
Prior to that the club participated in Friendly matches and local Cup competitions.
Details are inevitably sketchy and incomplete.
