Looking again, half of them look like they're ready for a fight.

...just after the 1WW, I dare say many of them had been involved in that dreadful conflict.

WILLIAM KIRSOPP EVERTON FOOTBALL CLUB PLAYER
William enlisted for Short Service with the Scots Guards Reserve on 4th February 1916. His trade is listed as Dock Labourer with the Cunard Company, Liverpool. At this time William was 22 years old and living at 28 Broadwood Street, Liverpool.
The Scots Guards were part of the Guards Division, the First Battalion took part in the Battle of Mons, Battles of Ypres and later the Battle of Passchendaele.
William was mobilised in January 1917, later moving to Caterham for training. In February 1918 William was promoted to Lance Corporal and sent to France with the British Expeditionary Force. According to his military record William was wounded in action in April 1918, suffering from a gunshot wound to his finger after only 55 days away. No further details of William’s injury are known. William would have seen action in the Second Battle of the Somme.
William must have been in contact with Everton Football Club as he is mentioned in the meeting minutes. The Secretary was to write to the CO of the Scots Guards to release William to allow him to work in his former employment at the docks.
William was reported absent from 24th February 1919 and returning from desertion on 3rd April 1919. William was then reported to be in military custody awaiting trial for the next two weeks. At a trial William was found to be ‘Absent without Leave’ and sentenced to 56 days detention. On 3rd June William had nine days detention remitted for his ‘good conduct’ and he returned to duty. In October 1919 William was discharged.
Be interesting to know the War history of these players.
In 1919 we had seven internationals.

Mons was probably the quickest the British army has run away from anything. Utter shambles from first to last,
