About the Book

The Untouchables: Anfield's Band of Brothers chronicles the rise and fall of one of the greatest Liverpool teams ever. In 1918 an enlisted man, Tom Bromilow, stepped off the streets of Liverpool and straight into the team. Still in uniform, he was one of tens of thousands of Liverpudlians who fought in World War One. His signing completed a jigsaw that eventually revealed an image of footballing perfection, a team so great they were called 'The Untouchables'. The book brings to life a host of incredible characters, uncovers friendships and rivalries and reveals amazing backstories. Meet men like Bootle-born Walter Wadsworth, tough-talking Irishman Elisha Scott, champion boxer Jock McNab and many other fascinating figures. The Untouchables reveals previously unknown detail and sheds new light on old controversies, including the real reason behind the departure of the club's manager, Dave Ashworth. Meticulously researched and lovingly told, the book breathes new life into a fascinating and long-forgotten story.

About the Author :
The Untouchables is a collaboration between Jeff Goulding (author of five books on Merseyside football and writer for various online media and publications) and Kieran Smith, an unofficial Liverpool FC historian, founder of Liverpool FC Historical Group and associate member of the Everton FC Heritage Society. Both men share a passion for bringing to life the history of Liverpool FC and improving our understanding of it.

Review :
"This book is something a bit different. An astonishing story about an incredible team whose achievements wouldn't be repeated by any Liverpool team for another 54 years. Their back to back titles are even more remarkable coming so soon after the war." "A forensically researched and expertly written book on one of the last untapped eras in Liverpool history. The ultimate tribute to the heroic deeds of an unbelievable team that should never be forgotten." "A gem of a book that delves deep into a part of the club's history that hasn't been written about before. The authors have a knack of bringing to life the lives of the players in the 1920s and what they faced during very uncertain times." "Author Goulding and football historian Smith have collaborated on a fine, detailed retelling of those times, packed with terrific photographs, many of them colourised." "Their stories are eyeopening – from the western front to the flu pandemic. They introduce you to their teammates, including the legendary, sweary, Elisha Scott. Of all the great Liverpool sides, this is the least well-known. I’d suggest f****** off the summer transfer speculation and giving this book a read. That’d be good for the soul on so many levels." "Almost exactly a century ago, on Saturday 21 April 1923, a Liverpool side managed by Matt McQueen clinched the top-flight title for the second successive season, with a 1-1 draw against Huddersfield Town at Anfield. Today the club is marking the anniversary of that great team’s achievements with a half-time tribute, and there’ll be a special banner on the Kop. The story is brilliantly chronicled in the 2021 book The Untouchables: Anfield’s Band of Brothers, by Jeff Gouding and Kieran Smith."
