  1. John (Jackie) Sheldon was born in Clay Cross, Derbyshire, in 1887. He played for Nuneaton Town before joining Manchester United in November 1909.  he only played 26 first team games before being transferred to Liverpool in November 1913.

    Sheldon had a successful first season at Anfield and appeared in the FA Cup Final against Burnley in April 1914. Unfortunately, Liverpool lost 1-0.

    On 2nd April, 1915, Sheldon played in the side that was beaten 2-0 by Manchester United. Afterwards, bookmakers claimed that they had taken a great deal of money on the 7-1 odds offered on a 2-0 United victory. They suspected that the game had been fixed and pointed out that late in the game, Jackie Sheldon, had missed a penalty. The bookmakers decided not to pay out on the result and offered a £50 reward for information that would unmask the conspirators.
