When Chesterfield lost its League status, fiery-tempered John Bovill stayed with the club, scoring 31 goals in 77 Midland League games.
Bovill made 29 appearances for Liverpool in the period leading up to the First World War. The bulk of those games were in the 1911-12 season, when he scored seven times from 25 matches.
He was to make only a further four appearances for the club in the whole of the next two seasons.
