with Done scoring 13 goals in 28 games. Done struggled to hold down a place in the Liverpool starting line-up and completely missed out on the 1950 FA Cup run; he scored five goals in 16 league games. He scored three goals in 25 games in 1950–51, and got four goals in 12 games in 1951–52. Done was allowed to leave Anfield in May 1952, having played 111 games in official league and cup competitions, scoring 38 goals. He joined Merseyside neighbours Tranmere Rovers of the Third Division North, where he made more of an impact, scoring 61 goals in 87 league appearances in his time at the club. During his time at Prenton Park, Tranmere were a mid-table club under the stewardship of Ernest Blackburn. Cyril transferred to Port Vale in December 1954, when manager Freddie Steele paid out a four-figure fee. He scored in five consecutive games, as the club struggled in front of goal; he bagged six of Vale's eight goals in a run of just one win in nine games. He then faced his former employers, Liverpool, and gave them a reason to think that they had let him go too soon, as he got all four goals in Vale's 4–3 Second Division home win. He was the club's top scorer in 1954–55 with 13 goals in 18 appearances. Done then found the net 12 times in 18 games in 1956–57, with teammate Len Stephenson only scoring two more goals in almost twice the number of games. He hit nine goals in 16 games in 1956–57 to become the club's top-scorer in a dismal season at Vale Park, which saw the "Valiants" relegated in last place. In May 1957 he was given a free transfer to non-league side Winsford United, and later became player-manager of Skelmersdale United. Style of play Done was a "strong centre-forward, who was feared by opposing defences". Post-retirement Upon retirement from the game Done worked raising awareness for a cancer charity. He died on 24 February 1993, the same day as fellow footballer Bobby Moore.
