The 1914 Charity Shield was not contested due to suspension of football during WWI

[edit] Events

• Suspicious patterns of betting on the game between Liverpool and Manchester United led to allegations of match fixing and the 1915 British football betting scandal. Eventually seven players (three from United, four from Liverpool) were banned from football.
