Red of the Day - Tom Fairfoul

Half-back Thomas was a regular in theLiverpool side in the two years that preceded the First World War.

He played in every one of the 38 First Division matches in1913-14 and made a further 24 appearances the following season. NineF.A. cup ties over the same period (including the 1914 final defeat byBurnley at Crystal Palace) brought his career total for Liverpool to 71games.
