A famous family-run Liverpool sports shop remembered across the generations was "the" place go for decades.
Jack Sharp is a name still recognisable to Liverpudlians, not only because of his performances as an outside-right at Everton FC, but through his eponymous sports shop in Whitechapel which opened in 1903. Before rival shops, commercial sports deals and online shopping, it was 'the' place - and at one time the only place - to buy sportswear and certain sports equipment in the city.
For generations, a trip to town wasn't complete without going to Jack Sharp to see what the latest sport trends were or to pick up essentials for your school P.E. kit. For many, it was the place you bought your first ever football boots or even teams for Subbuteo.
