    Walter Wadsworth was a commanding centre-half who was at Liverpool for seven seasons immediately following the end of the First World War.

    He had actually made his debut for the club at Middlesbrough in the spring of 1915, before the national leagues were replaced by regional ones for the next four years.

    Wadsworth played regularly for Liverpool in the Lancashire tournaments during the war and made 33 league appearances for the club in the first post-war national First Division season of 1919-20, by which time his brother Harold was also on the club's books.

    When the Reds first won and then retained the league championship in 1922 and 1923, Walter played in 75 of a maximum 84 matches, and continued to be a regular in the side for the next two years.

    His career low came on February 14, 1925, as he was sent off versus Newcastle United along with teammate Jock McNab and neither of them played for the remainder of the season.

    Wadsworth next featured on September 5, 1925 and made a further four appearances at the end of the season before signing for Bristol City in May 1926 at the ripe old age of 36.
