    I thought that would be Matt Le Tissier, Pieking - didn't miss many for you, did he ?

    No, the two most people will remember are Southport and Halifax, but the third is Nelson, they played in the 3rd division North for a few years after WW1.

    I've just been looking at this list of teams that have come and gone.

    Bootle played for 1 season only in 1892-93 and resigned, so they must have been the Accrington Stanley of their day.

    You can imagine two small boys arguing "If tha doest'na drink tha Dr Haines Golden specific tha'll only be good enough t' play f' Bootle"etc
