History
| Synopsis – Founding | Founded in 1892, by John Houlding, the Landlord of Anfield, after a dispute with the then tenants Everton, who left for pastures new. Liverpool FC was founded to play at Anfield, and have been there ever since |
| Synopsis – Major Events | Elected into the league in 1893, they quickly became a major club, and have spent the majority of their life in the top flight. The first ten years they were a bit of a yo-yo club, but apart from that there is only an 8 year spell in the fifties where they haven’t been in the top flight, and from the mid seventies they went through a fifteen year spell that made them the most successful club in English football, and during that time, in European football as well |
| Synopsis – Recent Times | Since 1990 they have failed to win the league, and that is seen as failure by the Liverpool faithful. They have had a great deal of success in cup competitions, and won five trophies in 2001. |
| Synopsis – Strange Facts | Went unbeaten in the 1895-96 season when winning the second division. They have won the League Championship a record 18 times. They have won the league cup (in its various guises) a record 7 times. They have qualified for European football more times (31) than any other English club. |
