Just read this on This is Anfield:
This is not the first time the two teams have crossed paths. In May 1964, the two clubs contested a friendly at Chicago’s Soldier Field in front of 12,000 people.
Bill Shankly led his side, who had just won the club’s first league title since 1946/47, on a tour of America and Canada.
And the Reds emerged victorious with Ian St. John notching a hat-trick.
Preseason tours are a little different nowadays. I've been looking for a lineup for that match but usual go-tos for Reds history don't seem to have it since it was a friendly. But I know our old-timers here have fond memories of Ian St. John.
