Profile

William McCann was Liverpool's goalkeeper for the first half of the 1894-95 season.

He lost his place after conceding 11 goals in three successive matches against Aston Villa, Burnley and Stoke. His place was taken by Matt McQueen, a remarkably versatile footballer who was equally at home in goal as he was as an outfield player!

McQueen was given seven matches as the club's last line of defence before McCann returned for a 4-0 home win over West Bromwich Albion on New Year's Day, 1895.

But only four days later Liverpool were thrashed 5-0 at Sheffield Wednesday and that proved to be McCann's final league appearance for the club, although he was picked to play in goal for two FA Cup matches against Barnsley St. Peter's and Nottingham Forest in the middle of February, 1895.
