Football supporters love to reminisce about glories from days past and certain dates get indelibly inked into their minds. May 25 th will forever stir memories of Istanbul for Liverpool fans (and Rome in 1977 for older Kopites) and you can be certain to see footage of a quickly taken corner every May 7 th for the rest of your life.
There aren’t many anniversaries for June 14 th , the day that Darwin Nunez was officially unveiled as a Red, and certainly none of any real significance. It was the date that a little-known player left Liverpool almost a century ago though, and he is a man that the club’s new number 27 will be looking to emulate in 2022/23.
Jimmy Walsh’s career with the club was relatively inconsequential, with him making 77 appearances across his five-year stay. However, in 1923/24 he scored 19 goals, which gave him the fourth highest scoring debut season in what was Liverpool’s relatively brief history. Even now, 99 years on, Walsh is still joint-16 th in the standings. How high is Nunez going to finish in that list in 12 months’ time?
