1 September 1894 – On the opening day of the Football League season, an extraordinary game betweenSunderland andDerby County was playedover three halves. The referee appointed for the match,Tom Kirkham, was running late so John Conqueror took charge. When Kirkham arrived, Sunderland were 3–0 ahead after the first half but the decision was made to start the match again at 0–0, annulling what was played so far. The decision did not bother Sunderland in the end, as they officially ran out 8–0 winners.
13 October 1894 – TheMerseyside derby is contested for the first time. 44,000 watchEverton beatLiverpool 3–0 in a league clash atGoodison Park.^[1]
