The normal Football League had been suspended when World War II broke out. It was replaced with regional leagues - and in 1944/45 Everton played in the Northern Division up until Xmas and in a 2nd Northern Division Championship after that. In the 1st Northern Division 54 teams competed but only played 18 games each (9 at home and 9 away). Match, appearance and goal statistics are not counted in any official records. * Murphy was a soldier and ex-South Liverpool reserve who had arrived as a spectator. Stockport were 3 players short and 'borrowed' Bentham and Catterick - and enlisted Murphy as well. |
