Appearances: 53
Honours: League title (1905-06), Second Division (1904-05)
As a youth, Ned Doig played for junior side St Helena in Arbroath as an outside-right, but during his time at Liverpool he was a goalkeeper.
After the Reds were relegated to the Second Division in 1904, Doig was signed for a fee of £150 from Sunderland, with whom he had spent 14 years, played 417 league matches and won four titles.
In his first game, Doig became the oldest player to make a debut for the club.
Liverpool promptly won the Second Division championship in his first season, Doig being an ever-present and conceding only 25 goals in 34 games.
In 1905-06 he lost his place to future England international Sam Hardy after only eight games, when he was said to be suffering from rheumatism. He would only play nine more First Division matches in the next two seasons.
Released by Liverpool in the summer of 1908, his last game on April 11, 1908 came at the age of 41 years and 165 days.
