Scottish winger John McDonald arrived at Anfield before the start of the 1909-10 season and played in 34 of the 38 league matches that year as Liverpool finished runners-up to champions Aston Villa.
Although selected for the opening seven games of the following season, he lost his place for a while to first Harold Uren and then briefly to Sam Bowyer. But he returned to the side in January 1911 and only missed one league fixture until the end of the season. McDonald was in and out of the team during his third and final year on Merseyside, 1911-12, and although he was selected on 20 occasions, the most number of consecutive games he played in were just six.
