Harman van den Berg was a winger who represented Liverpool in the two seasons before the outbreak of the Second World War.
His first-team debut was in the Goodison Park derby against Everton on February 16, 1938 - a match in which Jack Balmer opened the scoring after just 10 seconds.
Van den Berg made 12 consecutive appearances in the first half of the following season but then lost his place and didn't play again until the following spring.
He was in the team when the 1939-40 campaign began, but the outbreak of war meant that league football was suspended, though the club did continue to play in the quickly arranged Western Division and War League Cup.
Of the goals Van den Berg scored for Liverpool, two were particularly dramatic - an equaliser in the 89th minute to save a point at Leicester City in October 1938, and a first-minute strike in the 3-3 Anfield draw with Huddersfield Town three weeks later.
