Profile

Forward Arthur Metcalf had a good goals-per-game ratio and was the club's highest scorer in the 1912-13 season, when he netted 18 times from 32 matches.

He also scored a hat-trick in the FA Cup that year in a 4-1 second round victory away to Arsenal. The following season Metcalf was badly injured against Sunderland on 13th of September and didn't feature for five months, but managed to play a big part in Liverpool's cup run that got them all the way to their first ever FA Cup final on April 25, 1914. Unfortunately Liverpool lost 1-0.

Despite the outbreak of war, the 1914-15 league season was completed and Metcalf added another seven goals to his career total in 16 games. Although he never played competitive league football for Liverpool again, Arthur was a prolific scorer for the club in the local Lancashire leagues that were arranged to replace the four national divisions.

Metcalf passed away on February 9, 1936, only 46 years of age.
