A Leading Question: Which Ex Ranger Scored A Hat Trick against Liverpool at Anfield ?

[Corky True Legend 2,682]

Pity Harold Davis's surgeon wasn't around in these days.

[siddiqi_drinker 14,635]

Only other other Scottish player I can think of Alex Young never played for us, certainly scored 3 vs liverpool.  This is annoying

Now it gets interesting. 

"Scotsman Bobby Parker, signed from Glasgow Rangers in 1913 for a fee of £1,500, was Everton’s star man and top scorer, racking up 36 goals for the season. It was a total that constituted largely of an incredible six hat-tricks, one of which came in a 5-0 win at Anfield in October 1914. Shortly after he had fired his football club to the domestic title, he went off to serve his country on the battlefields. He returned with a bullet lodged in his back, an injury which prevented him from retaining his pre-war footballing ability."

So there you have it. But look at the detail. 

I worked out roughly that £1.500 in those days is the equivalent of around £1,000,000 to £1,500,000 at today's prices, so he was the equivalent to our first million pound sale (I expect someone to tell me who that was). 

Who'd have thought that our star players were going for record fees even then. 

But the war record too. His career was cut tragically short fighting for his country. A sacrifice our club still honours to this day. 

 

The real point I'm making is there are there are still l so many great stories to be unearthed about our amazing club....... and it is ongoing........

Another ex ranger Trevor Francis

Read the original post wrong hence the Francis comment - Britains first million pound player

Apologies if either of those two was also a correct answer, was to lazy to do the search on those.

[tannerall 25,935]

May be of interest to those who are football "train spotters" like me.

Is it another Alex Young ?

From Wikipedia "Hat-tricks: The first derby hat-trick was scored by Everton's Alex "Sandy" Young who scored four in the 1904 5–1 win at Goodison."

Out of interest  what would  1500 be in today's money? 

Purely on inflation about £120k but probably a lot more in football terms given inflation of transfer fees has skyrocketed 

[tannerall 25,935]

If anyone wants a more up to date question. 

Name 4 Rangers players who have been sent off in the Liverpool-Everton derby.

Sir David and the fox in the box?

Last one? Not sure, lots of possibilities. Diouf would seem the type but don't think he has. Don't think Gough, Ball, Cleland, Vignal, Myhre, Jelavic have either. Need to think some more!

 That's three out of four, 

Arteta, Davie Weir and Francis Jeffers (technically a loan player for us).

One to go.

It is difficult to evaluate, because in 1913 you could buy a house in London for £500, that would fetch over 10 Million today. I think someone scoring 6 hat tricks in the EPL would be worth over 50 Million today.

Off to bed now. 

The fourth Rangers player to be sent off in the Liverpool derby. And what a brilliant photo this is.

I think Rangers have won a competitive match at Anfield.  I've lost my database but I'm pretty sure our FA Cup victory at Everton at in the 1880's was before Everton left Anfield.

Didn't he go on to become Spiderman ?

 

Oops, that was Peter Parker.
