Player of tournament shines in World Cup qualifiers despite Scotland falling short
CITY OF LIVERPOOL FC’s NPL West division campaign concluded with safety from relegation for the 100 per cent fan-owned club.
Their 12th place finish implies a degree of security, but in truth it was anything but comfortable in a strange season where any teams from 9th place downwards could reasonably have been drawn into the relegation play-offs going into the final weeks of fixtures.
Approaching the season there was plenty of optimism around the Purps, who returned to groundshare at Bootle’s Vesty Road after a year in Ellesmere Port. Important existing players like Jack Hazlehurst and Max Allen committed their futures to the club whilst then-manager Michael Ellison recruited several additions to a new-look side.
