Hi JJ, Louis did play in a cup final, but it was after he left Liverpool. He played for Blackburn in the 1959/60 FA Cup.

You are right Ken, Liverpool signed Louis from Burscough.

Cheers. Bill

Bill you are a star did not know nothing about this man and you have educated me on this player.
Big thanks Bill this is history that could be lost.
See we have to look at you and other members to an input into the post.

Born Rainford, Merseyside, England, Bimpson played for Burscough before Liverpool signed him in 1953.[1] He made his debut two months later on the 7 March in a league match at Villa Park, it was a day not to remember, however, as Aston Villa cruised to a convincing 4–0 victory over a struggling Reds side. His first goal came a month later on the 3 April, again, in a league match, but this time at Anfield in a 2–1 victory over Cardiff City Bimpson's 19th-minute strike turned out to be the winner.

Bimpson signed for the Reds just as they side were about to hit hard times being relegated to 2nd Division at the end of Bimpson's first full season at Anfield, even though Louis managed a goal every other game netting 12 in 24 appearances, including scoring twice in a 4–4 draw with rivals Manchester United at Anfield on 22 August and the four goals he scored in a 4–0 home win against Burnley on 19 September 1953.

The inside-right, who was just as comfortable as a centre-forward, didn't make that much of an impact in Liverpool's first season in the lower tier playing just nine games scoring two goals, the 1956–57 season was a better one for Bimpson appearing in 21 games, although he only managed six goals.

The following campaign was another average one as appearances go but the 1958–59 campaign was the best season Louis had in the red of Liverpool he started 16 games netting a respectable 11 goals, ironically this was to be his last full season at Anfield, Dave Hickson made the short journey across Stanley Park from Merseyside rivals Everton which didn't help he his struggle to hold down a regular spot and only started five times, he was allowed to leave and joined Blackburn Rovers on the 19 November 1959.

Bimpson is probably best remembered for his time at Ewood Park, especially his first season as he scored in a 4–1 victory over Sunderland in the 1959–60 FA Cup third round replay and followed that with a brace in an impressive 3–1 win at Tottenham Hotspur in round five. Rovers made it to the cup final that year with Bimpson in the side but they played well below their best on the day, as well as being reduced to ten men through injury, and lost 0–3 to Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Bimpson went on to play for Bournemouth & Boscombe Athletic and Rochdale before dropping into non-league football with Wigan Athletic in 1963, where he scored twice in five Cheshire League games.[2] He finished his career back at his first club Burscough as an amateur.

Career details[edit]
Liverpool F.C (1953–1959) - 102 games, 39 goals
Blackburn Rovers F.C (1960 F A cup runner up)
