00:12 shot on the 27th of September, 1902 at Goodison Park.
00:17 The crowd numbered 40,000.
00:19 The visual quality is poor,
00:23 but all sides of this magnificent ground can be seen.
00:28 Perkins was again in goal for Liverpool
00:30 with Ray Speck as captain.
00:31 Everton won the game three goals to one,
00:34 and the reporter for the Athletics News
00:36 commentated that much joy
00:37 and what handshaking greeted each goal.
00:40 The Everton winger Sharp,
00:42 with his clever wing play, was man of the match.
