NOTES FROM THE CHAIRMAN

PAUL MANNING injured after 3 minutes off his debut with a dislocated shoulder, whilst supporters where still coming out of the bar! Danny wasn’t the only debutant to be seriously hurt on his debut either. We count 5 players, who we signed, and then got injured in their first games. Season 2021/22 is nearly over after a long, hard gruelling season. It started badly, got worse and just kept on getting worse and yet somehow, we have achieved our highest ever league placing (8th in Step 4 of the football pyramid) and our best ever showing in the FA Cup (3rd qualifying round). Having had to use 50+ players bares testament to the horrific injury list that we have had to carry throughout the season. The injuries started early (Hughes and Kelly at Vauxhall Motors in pre-season) continued with Burkey nearly getting his leg broken at Northwich (still pre-season) and continued on and on and on right up to Glossop last week with Edgar being forced off. Pre-Season was decimated due to COVID postponements and the weather. The injury situation got so bad that Danny Brady went off

Against Marine in November, we signed the goalie, right back and a centre half the day before and the left back (Zac Aley) walked into the ground limping!! It was ridiculous. If we even discussed signing a player, he got injured in his next game! When we asked John Lavin to become club secretary I promised him a relatively straightforward time for someone who was well organised with good inter-personal skills. After season 2021/22 he looks about 10 years older than he really is – he has not stopped! All of this is to say that what Ello and the staff and all of the squad did in having us in a steady mid-table position throughout most of the season, eventually being 9th currently is nothing short of remarkable – we could quite easily have been relegation contenders. And saying all of that we should still have been in and around

NOTES FROM THE CHAIRMAN

PAUL MANNING the play-offs!!! Ello was fuming most of the time at the chances missed and the goals conceded. The points we have left on various pitches is ridiculous, but that’s football I suppose. Playing out in Ellesmere Port has been a hindrance to us and whilst we wholeheartedly thank Vauxhall Sports & Social Club for hosting us – its been hard motivating ourselves to go and organise and play games there. All the volunteers and supporters who have made it their business to ensure they kept coming deserve enormous credit as well. We are used to big crowds and big atmospheres and 250 odd people in a ground that needs 2000-3000 to feel full, hasn’t been much fun at all. As you will have seen we have already started work securing the key squad payers for next season, before announcing the new additions once the season is over with their current club. We will be moving back to the Berry St Garage Stadium, and we are certain that that is going to help us with attendances and attracting the locally based players that we are looking at. We are currently working on partnerships with various companies, which will hopefully

lead to a main Club Sponsor and other partnerships over the coming months, but let’s face it times are hard in this neck of the woods for everybody. Our partnership with Puma has also ended and we have exciting news about our new kit supplier to be released shortly. Our lease at PurpleHUB has been extended with KMBC and our plans for the facility are very exciting indeed and we are still in the planning process with Liverpool City Council over land in Fazackerley that is slowly moving forward. So here we are with just 3 games left in the season and today we welcome the Directors, Staff, Players and Supporters of Prescot Cables. Up the Purps

OUR OPPONENTS TODAY

PRESCOT CABLES FC Prescot Football Club was formed in 1884 and the first organised game of Association Football ever played in Prescot took place against the second team of a local St Helens side, St Thomas. Prescot lost 3-1. The 1887-88 season saw Prescot reach the Final of the Liverpool Junior Cup, losing 3-1 to Aintree Church. Two seasons later, The Watchmakers claimed the trophy, beating their own Second Team (Prescot Swifts) in the Final. Winning the Junior Cup earned the club the right to compete for the Liverpool Senior Cup and Prescot reached the semi-finals at the first attempt, taking on Everton. The Toffees would claim the Football League championship that season, so their 8-1 win over Prescot at Anfield was no disgrace. Prescot would reach the semi-finals again the following season, losing to Liverpool Caledonians. Prescot joined the West Lancashire League in 1889; the competition changed its name to the Liverpool & District League after one season. In 1895, Prescot won the Liverpool Senior Shield, beating Liverpool South End at Goodison Park in the Final. At the end of the 1894-95 season, the club joined the Lancashire Alliance and after two relatively successful seasons in this competition, took a further step up in 1897, joining the Lancashire Combination. However, Prescot struggled at the higher standard, finishing second-from-bottom. The club returned to the Lancashire Alliance, citing poor gate receipts and disproportionately high travelling expenses as the reason for their decision. Prescot FC were Lancashire Alliance in Champions in 1899-1900 and then

stepped up into the Lancashire League for 1901-02. A ground dispute resulted in Prescot dropping out of the league in 1902-03 and Prescot FC was dormant until 1906 when an athletic and football ground was opened at Hope Street the football club revived under the name Prescot Athletic FC. Prescot Athletic started in the St Helens & District League and were runners up in 1906-07, after which they joined the Liverpool & District League. The 191011 season saw the reformation of the Liverpool County Combination, bringing teams from the Liverpool & District League into a two-division structure. Prescot Athletic were placed into Division One of the new set-up. Leagues were suspended in 1914 for the Great War and the post-war Prescot club dropped ‘Athletic’ from its name and joined the Lancashire Combination Liverpool Section. In their first season, 1918-19, Prescot finished runners-up to Tranmere Rovers but did not fare too well the following season and the club returned to the more locally-based Liverpool County Combination for the 1920-21 season and spent a further seven years in that league, winning the George Mahon Cup in 1923-24 and

1926-27. Such was the standing of Prescot FC at this time that in February 1928 they were invited to replace Fleetwood in the Lancashire Combination, taking over the defunct club’s record and fulfilling their remaining fixtures. However, to do so, Prescot were required to sign an entirely new squad of players to play alongside the club’s Liverpool County Combination team, which continued to play until the end of the season. 1928 was a major milestone for the club as it was in this year that the local cable manufacturing giant, BICC, donated a magnificent 1,000-seater stand to the club. In what was clearly an early form of commercial sponsorship, the club’s name was changed to Prescot Cables prior to the 1928-29 season. At the same time, the club colours became black and amber to commemorate a bit of local industrial history, as the first successful insulated cable drawn at Prescot was covered with black and amber paper. Having finished fourth in the Lancashire Combination in 1928-29, Prescot Cables applied for election to the Football League. The club received one vote, while York City gained sufficient votes to replace Ashington. Cables applied for election again in 1930, but this time did not secure a single vote in favour. In October 1931, Cables applied to the Football League to take over the fixtures of Wigan Borough, who had been forced to resign, mid-season, due to financial issues. They were rejected by the League Management Committee. With the Liverpool Senior Cup now restricted to Football League clubs and the Senior Shield discontinued, the club won the Liverpool Challenge Cup in three consecutive seasons; 192728, 1928-29 and 1929-30. In the latter campaign Prescot also reached the Final of the Lancashire Combination Cup. Cables finished as runners up in the

Lancashire Combination in three consecutive seasons; 1930-31, 193132 and 1932-33, before joining the Cheshire County League in 193334. They spent just three seasons in Cheshire before rejoining the Lancashire Combination for 1936-37 and were again Lancashire Combination Cup Finalists in 1938-39. After the Second World War, Cables shared Hope Street with the ‘A’ Team of Liverpool FC and recruited a number of players released by the Football League club during this time. This helped Prescot to several cup successes at the end of the 1940s as the club won the Lancashire Combination Cup and Liverpool Challenge Cup, in addition to reaching the Final of the Liverpool Senior Medal. In the early 1950s Cables yo-yo-ed between the first and second divisions of the Lancashire Combination, but the remainder of the decade represents the club’s “Golden Age”. Prescot won the Liverpool Senior Non-League Cup in 1951-52, 1952-53, 1958-59 and 196061, in addition to reaching the Final in 1956-57. The stand donated to the club in 1928 was destroyed by fire in 1960 and was replaced by the magnificent structure that dominates the ground today. Cables won the Lancashire Combination Championship in 1956-57, and were runners-up in 1952-53, 1957-58 and 1958-59. They also reached the FA Cup First Round Proper in 1957 and again in 1959. Prescot Cables changed its name to Prescot Town in 1964 but the club struggled and in 1975, it was voted out of the Lancashire Combination. Prescot Town joined the Mid-Cheshire League and won it in 1976-77. In 1978-79 they returned to the Cheshire County League, in Division Two, after an absence of 42 years. They finished third in that campaign after being deducted two points; the lost points cost the club

second place and therefore promotion. The club did claim silverware, lifting the Liverpool Challenge Cup for the first time in three decades. Prescot were Cheshire County League Division Two champions the following season, with Accrington Stanley as runners-up. In 1980, the name of Prescot Cables was re-taken (only to be dropped again for five years between 1990 and 1995). In 1982, Cables became a member of the newly formed North West Counties League where they remained for 20 years. Prescot finished in the top 10 in NWCL Division One in all but one season from 1990 and enjoyed several good runs in the FA Vase. In 2001-02, the club had its most successful season for over two decades, winning the League Cup and finishing as Division One runners-up, narrowly missing out on promotion to the Northern Premier League Division One. Prescot went one better in 2002-03 and finished as champions of the North West Counties League Division One to win promotion to the Northern Premier League Division One. Ground improvements were carried out at Hope Street to meet the relevant regulations and ensure that Prescot could take their place in the higher league. For the season 2004-05, Prescot found themselves playing at the highest level in their history. Due to a suitable finishing position, and a re-organisation of the National League System, Prescot took their place in the Northern Premier League Premier Division. As a result of a club being unable to fulfil their fixtures, and after the controversial intervention of the FA, Cables were elevated to fifth position in the final League Table. This gave Cables the opportunity to gain promotion to what is now called National League North, although defeat at Workington in the play-off semi-final ended that dream -

for now! The 2005-06 season saw a new football committee being formed from the Supporters Club. The assets and liabilities of the old club, Prescot Cables, were transferred over to a new legal entity, Prescot Football Club Limited, which continued trading as Prescot Cables Football Club. The new company would subsequently be reconstituted as a Community Interest Company owned hundreds of supporters who each pay a small annual subscription in return for one share. On the pitch, the club produced another mid-table finish in the following season to avoid becoming involved in another non-league ‘shakeup’ that saw two regionalised First Divisions being created within the Northern Premier League ahead of the 2007-08 season. That campaign was a more difficult one and during the club’s final match, Prescot was 15 minutes from relegation. Two late goals secured a win at Lincoln United and survival. Due to how closely contested the division had been, Cables eventually finished in 13th place!. A lacklustre 2008-09 season saw Prescot propping up the Premier Division. Manager Andy Gray departed for Burscough. He was replaced by Joe Gibiliru who managed to bring some much-needed stability to the club as the team finished in mid-table in 200910. However, a significant change in personnel meant that Cables initially struggled during the following season. This led to Gibiliru being relieved of his duties around the time of the ‘big freeze’ in December 2010 and assistant Dave Ridler took over. He managed to secure Cables’ Northern Premier League status for another season. The 2011-12 season was a tale of five managers. Dave Ridler (who left for Australia in January 2012), Karl Bell and Karl Connolly all took charge for at least one match. Following the controversial departure of Shaun Reid to Warrington

Town in March 2012, Joe Gibiliru took over for the remaining games. The team and club regrouped after the Reid fiasco to finish the season strongly, defying the odds to remain part of the Northern Premier League. David Powell was the new man in charge for the 2012-13 season and assembled a virtually brand-new squad, which led to inconsistency during the early months of the campaign. The season was also disrupted by the condition of the playing surface and weather conditions forcing many postponements. When matches finally began in earnest in the New Year, Cables produced one of their most successful periods since the 2002-03 North West Counties League Championship season. Circumstances arose that led to David Powell leaving the club ahead of the 2014-15 season. His replacement was Neil Prince, who kept the club in the Northern Premier League despite having limited resources at his disposal. The 2015-16 campaign began disastrously, which led to Neil Prince being relieved of his duties. In came Andy Paxton who, with the same playing staff, managed to haul the team out of danger and finish the league season in their highest position for some time. Cables also reached the Final of the Liverpool Senior Cup. Due to work commitments Andy Paxton had to step down from the role of First Team Manager in October 2017. The club moved swiftly to appoint Brian Richardson. Initially, the First Team struggled following the change of Manager, but an excellent second half of the season saw the club ease away from the relegation places and win the Liverpool Senior Cup for the first time, defeating Southport in the Final in front of more than 900 spectators. Most of the squad remained with Cables for the 2018-19 campaign and

was supplemented by some shrewd recruitment by Brian Richardson. Prescot spent virtually the entire campaign in the top six places and eventually finished fifth in the table, earning a place in the promotion playoffs. Trafford were defeated in the semifinal, but a 1-0 defeat at Bamber Bridge in front of more than 1,600 spectators saw Prescot miss out on promotion. However, a 4-0 win at Marine ensured that Cables retained the Liverpool Senior Cup, ensuring that a memorable season ended with a suitable reward. Richardson led Prescot to their fourth consecutive Liverpool Senior Cup Final, the 2018-19 decider seeing more than 1,200 spectators inside Hope Street for a game between Cables and Southport. There were no goals during the 90 minutes and Prescot’s grip on the trophy was finally ended after a penalty shoot-out. Cables also missed out on the promotion play-offs by three points and at the end of the season, Brian Richardson joined FC United of Manchester as their assistant manager, taking several players with him. The remainder of the club’s coaching staff stayed at Hope Street and Steve Pilling and Roy Grundy, who had both worked alongside Andy Paxton and Brian Richardson, were appointed as the new First Team Managers. They endured a frustrating and curtailed season in charge; a lack of goals meant that Prescot were marooned in mid-table, although the season was eventually declared ‘null and void’ following the spread of COVID-19 around the world. Pilling and Grundy left the club during the summer of 2020, with highly-rated young coach Craig Davies appointed as Cables’ new manager.

COLFC 1ST TEAM in 2020, only to be narrowly beaten by Manchester United at Old Trafford. The towering defender left Wigan at the end of the 2019-20 season and joined Chorley where he has continued his development in their Under 21 side, before making the step up to First Team football over the summer.

Nathan Burke – Midfielder Captain and an energetic and accomplished midfielder, Nathan has a great reputation in the game having started his career at the Liverpool FC Academy. The 25 year old scouser spent nine years at the Premier League club, where he held the role of captain at various youth levels. After leaving Liverpool, Nathan impressed at Warrington Town before spending four successful years at Bala Town where he played in UEFA Europa League fixtures.

Jack, 22, signed from Liverpool Football College in 2017 and has gone on to play 112 games, scoring 38 goals for the club. The tricky attacking midfielder has become a firm fans favourite and has scored some memorable goals along the way.

MJ Monoghan – Midfielder

After returning home from San Jose recently, Max signed for Rylands earlier this year and now joins Michael Ellison’s Purps.

Jack Hazlehurst – Midfielder

The former Prescot Cables star joined Linnets in the summer and has also previously represented National League side Telford United. MJ also had a spell playing in Australia for Corio Soccer Club before returning to the UK, he then signed for Witton in 2019.

James Murphy – Midfielder The talented forward came through the youth ranks at Chester and Connah’s Quay, before moving to Airbus where he initially played academy football.

COLFC 1ST TEAM Young Player of the Year accolade in 2016. Murphy briefly represented Newtown before moving to Rhyl where he scored an impressive 21 goals in 55 appearances, and then signed for NWCFL Premier Division side Litherland Remyca in early 2020 after leaving The Lilywhites before a brief stint at Ramsbottom Utd preceded him joining Michael Ellison and the purps.

Josh Quarless – Striker

At the end of the 2019–20 season he was not offered a professional contract by the club and released.[6] After joining Salford City’s under-23 development team in the 2020–21 season he made the switch to join the purps on loan for the season.

Tinashe Chakwana - Striker The 23-year-old is a Zimbabwean forward who has previously represented Burnley up to under 23 level.

Josh, 25, joined the Purps in November from local club Burscough after some dazzling performances including 15 goals and 5 man of the match awards in the NWCFL Premier. The forward will also be a familiar name to followers of the Liverpool Sunday football scene, with various clips of spectacular strikes by Josh for FC Dovecot and Sefton Athletic

Whilst with the Clarets, Chakwana featured regularly on the scoresheet for their Academy sides and left the Turf Moor club in 2017.

Lewis Mckinney – Striker

Ryan Gibson – Striker

McKinney played for Burnley’s youth teams before joining Oldham Athletic for the start of the 2017–18 season, signing two-year scholarship forms to join the club’s youth team from the 2018-19 season.[2] He made his first-team debut as a 69th-minute substitute for Mohamed Maouche in a 1–0 defeat to Macclesfield Town at Boundary Park on 19 October 2019. [3][4] In November 2019, he joined Runcorn Linnets on a month’s work experience loan.[5]

A pacey forward by-trade, Gibson joined his hometown club Linnets midway through the 2018-19 season and immediately made an impression at the Millbank Linnets Stadium before joining league rivals Widnes FC and then making the switch over to join us at City of Liverpool FC.

Our new signing, known as “T”, made his debut off the bench during this seasons 2-2 draw at Leek Town and took no time at all to hit the ground running.

The Daniel Wilkinson Foundation is a charity set up in memory of Daniel Wilkinson who died in 2016 aged 24, while playing the game he loved, from an underlying heart condition called Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy (ARVC). Dan played football from an early age and joined Hull City AFC when he was 10, earning a professional contract aged 18. Loughborough University followed where he completed a degree in Accounting and Financial Management while playing non-league football. He was an athlete who enjoyed the gym and took his health and nutrition very seriously. He lived life to the full and had so much ahead of him. Other than feeling light-headed on a few occasions in the month before he died, he had no symptoms!

SUDDEN CARDIAC DEATH IN THE YOUNG (SCD) SCD is the leading cause of death in young athletes during sport and the majority of deaths occur with NO SYMPTOMS or family history. ARVC can be found in one in every 1,000 to 5,000 young adults - IF IT IS LOOKED FOR. Warning signs may include light-headedness, fainting, palpitations, swollen legs, breathlessness. Every week in the UK, 12 apparently fit and healthy young people (aged 35 and under) die from previously undiagnosed heart conditions. In Italy, where screening is mandatory for all young people engaged in organised sport, they have reduced the incidence of young sudden cardiac death by 89%.

OUR MISSION The Daniel Wilkinson Foundation has been set up to raise awareness of SCD and to provide funding towards heart screening, defibrillators and CPR/defibrillator training primarily for grass-roots sporting teams. Tragedies can be prevented through cardiac screening. It is vital that young people are identified and treated.
