Elisha Scott was the Liverpool FC Goalkeeper of the 1920s. He was signed from Belfast Celtic following a recommendation from his older brother Billy, who was the Everton goalkeeper for the 1906 Cup Final. He was part of the Championship winning teams of 1922 (in which he was ever-present) and 1923. By the early 1930s he began to struggle for his place in the Liverpool side and when his old team Belfast Celtic offered him a player-manager role in 1934 he accepted. He remained manager until 1949 when the club folded. He had a famous rivalry on the field with William "Dixie" Dean of Everton.
