The Invention of the Onion Bag - No. 19,112
Posted by Stephen
A short piece concerning the small matter of the invention of the onion bag
At the end of 2006 Tabacula were commissioned by the Liverpool Capital of Culture’s ‘In the City’ programme to produce a short film about the invention of goal nets by John Alexander Brodie. Brodie was inspired to invent the ‘onion bag’ after witnessing an Everton match against Accrington at Anfield on the 26th October 1889.
Everton were the first team to use them on a regular basis. The film features interviews with Professor Rogan Taylor, Dr David France and Stephen Done. The voice of Brodie is acted by Neil Fitzmaurice and the narration is by John Keith.
