It's been almost a century since one workforce became synonymous with the Football Pools - but it's legacy still lives on.
Liverpool and football go hand in hand and before the National Lottery, the most popular way for people to try and win a fortune was to play the Football Pools - the country's oldest football betting game that was born in Liverpool.
The ECHO previously reported how from 1923, the Football Pools offered people a chance to win large sums of money by predicting the outcome of matches, with Sir John Moores being one of the founders of Littlewoods, which was the first to sell the pools. An integral part of family life, many will remember the teatime ritual of listening to the football scores and marking off score draws on coupons in the hope of getting a line of crosses next to the right games - but Littlewoods wasn't the only big name in the city.
