Profile

A strong centre-forward, who was feared by opposing defences, Liverpool-born Cyril Done scored on his league debut for the Reds Liverpool as an 18-year-old, netting the only goal of the game when Chelsea were the visitors to Anfield on September, 2, 1939.

But the outbreak of the Second World War meant that this was the final competitive fixture for several years, the regular divisions being abandoned in favour of regional leagues and cup competitions.

When League football resumed after the war ended, Done made an important contribution by scoring 10 times from 17 appearances, including hat-tricks against Huddersfield and Grimsby, as Liverpool marched on to the First Division championship.

He was in and out of the team over the next five years and missed out completely on the FA Cup run which took the club to their first Wembley final in 1950.

Done moved to Tranmere Rovers in May 1952 and scored nearly 100 league goals for them and Port Vale.
