Our first competitive match against Liverpool was a Division One clash at the Lane on November 13, 1909. It was our first season in the top flight after promotion from Division Two. Bert Middlemiss scored in a 1-0 victory in front of 22,000.

1925
Frank Osborne scored the first of only three hat-tricks against Liverpool in a 3-1 win in Division One at the Lane on October 24, 1925. More importantly, it was the start of a remarkable hat-trick of hat-tricks - three hat-tricks in successive league matches - that remains a unique achievement in the Club's history.
