Goalkeeeper Harry starred for Arsenal for 18 months in Second Division, making 76 appearances. At Liverpool he replaced Matt McQueen, a versatile player who was just as comfortable in goal as he was in an outfield position, when Liverpool played host to Manchester City on New Years' Day 1896. Harry played in the last 11 league matches of that season, conceding only 8 goals, and helped his new club make a swift return to the First Division they had been relegated from a year before.
Harry then missed only seven of the next 87 league fixtures before Matt McQueen took over again in goal for two games and then William Perkins for the last five matches of the 1898-99 season. Perkins would be first-choice at the start of the season which took the club into a new century and although Harry did get a run of 11 successive games during the autumn and on into the winter of 1899, it was Perkins who finished the season in goal and Storer never played for Liverpool's first-team again after that. Storer died of consumption only 37 years of age on April 25, 1908.
