A flanker, Livermore was a prolific goal-kicker and while playing for YMCA in 1946 set a Brisbane competition record season tally with 193 points. He made the Wallabies squad for that year's tour of New Zealand, where he was capped in Tests against the All Blacks in Dunedin and New Zealand Maori in Hamilton.[1]
