Goals: Peter Mee
The season had started with Southport in tremendous form. They took nine points from the first six games and led the table. Peter Mee, a 22-year-old signed from Manchester City, scored the only goal credited to the side in each of the 6 games.
Mee played in thirteen games at inside-left before his mysterious disappearance on November 5th; the following month he was found drowned in the River Mersey near Sale Golf Club—an unfortunate end to a promising career.
