Liverpool was founded by a quirk of fate on 15 March 1892. Everton, who used Anfield as their home ground, disagreed over the rent to be paid to landlord John Hulding and moved to neighbouring Goodison Park. In order not to leave his property deserted, Howling decided to form a football club, which he named Liverpool. Since 1892, Everton and Liverpool have clashed every year in the traditional Merseyside derby.
In 1901, Liverpool won their first title, the English Championship, but it took until 1959 for their fortunes to change. Bill Shankley took over the reins that year, laying the foundations for the golden team of the 1975-1985 decade, sweeping titles in Europe and England.
Liverpool's magnificent run on the world football stage, coached by Bob Paisley and Joe Fagan, would be brought to an inglorious halt on May 29, 1985, by the Hazel tragedy in Brussels.
Liverpool's magnificent run on the world football stage, coached by Bob Paisley and Joe Fagan, would be brought to an inglorious halt on May 29, 1985, by the Hazel tragedy in Brussels. The protagonists were their fans, who would breach a pitch divider and attack Juventus fans just before the opening kick-off of the Champions Cup final between the two teams. 39 fans, mostly Italian, will lose their lives and UEFA will ban Liverpool from European competitions for 10 years and all English clubs for 5 years.
Four years later, on 15 April 1989, another tragedy would befall the Reds, when 96 fans would die at Sheffield Hillsborough due to overcrowding during the FA Cup semi-final match between Liverpool and Nottingham. Liverpool would fall by the wayside, but would rise again at the start of the new millennium, winning the UEFA Cup (2001) and Champions League (2005).
From 2015, the Jurgen Klopp era begins for the Reds. Under the German coach, they will win their sixth Champions League and first Club World Cup in 2019 and the following year their first league title since 1990.
Liverpool's red jersey has been worn by great players such as: Longworth, Scott, Yates, Yates, Hunt, Busby, Paisley, Paisley, Dalglish, Hansen, Barnes, Hughes, Keegan, Highway, Clemens, Rush, Thompson, Neal, Hansen and Soones, Barnes, McManaman, Fowler, Tossack Owen, Barros, Biscan, Morientes and the modern Gerrard, Caraher, Hamann, Hippia and Luis Garcia.
