Liverpool

Liverpool F.C. was founded following a dispute between the Everton committee as well as John Houlding, club president and the owner of the land located at Anfield. After eight years of playing at The stadium Everton was moved into Goodison Park in 1892 and Houlding established Liverpool F.C. for the purpose of playing at Anfield. The club was initially called "Everton F.C. as well as Athletic Grounds Ltd" (Everton Athletic, which means short) The club changed its name to Liverpool F.C. in the month of March in 1892. The club gained the official status three months after following the Football Association refused to acknowledge Liverpool F.C. as Everton.

Liverpool had their first match on the 1st of September, 1892. an pre-season friendly game in opposition to Rotherham Town, which they defeated 7-1. The team Liverpool used against Rotherham was comprised entirely of Scottish players. The players to Scotland for a chance to compete in England in the early days were referred to by their nickname, the Scottish professors. The manager John McKenna had recruited the players following the conclusion of a visit to scouts on a journey to Scotland which led to them becoming famous to be the "team of Macs". The team was crowned an award in the Lancashire League in the first season, and then joined to the Football League Second Division in the beginning in the season 1893-1994. When the team was elevated into the First Division in 1896, Tom Watson was named manager. Watson managed Liverpool to their first league championship in 1901 after which it won the title again in 1906.

Liverpool reached its first FA Cup Final in 1914, losing 1-0 to Burnley. It won consecutive League championships in 1922 and 1923, but did not win another trophy until the 1946-47 season, when the club won the First Division for a fifth time under the control of ex- West Ham United center half George Kay. Liverpool was a victim of a third Cup Final defeat in 1950 in a match against Arsenal. The club was then relegated into the Second Division in the 1953-54 season. Soon after Liverpool lost 2-1 to non-league Worcester City at the time of the 1958-1959 FA Cup, Bill Shankly was named manager. After his appointment, he let go of 24 players, and also transformed the storage space for boot players located at Anfield into a conference room where the coaches could talk about strategy in a private setting. Here, Shankly as well as others " Boot Room" players Joe Fagan, Reuben Bennett along with Bob Paisley began redesigning the team.

The club was elevated back to the First Division in 1962 and took it to the final in 1964 to the very first time for 17 years. The club also took home their its first FA Cup. The club won the FA Cup in 1966. took home first place in the First Division but lost to Borussia Dortmund in the European Cup Winners Cup final. Liverpool took home both the League as well as also the UEFA Cup during the 1972-73 season. Then, they won they won the FA Cup again a year later. Shankly was fired shortly after and was replaced by his assistant Bob Paisley. In 1976, the first season with the team, they achieved an additional League in addition to a UEFA Cup double. The following year the club kept their League title and also won the European Cup for the first time. However, it fell at the 1997 FA Cup Final. Liverpool kept its European Cup in 1978 and won its First Division title in 1979. The nine seasons that Paisley served as manager, Liverpool was awarded 20 trophies including the three European Cups, a UEFA Cup and six League titles, and 3 consecutive League Cups and the one trophy that the team did not take home is the FA Cup.

Paisley quit in 1983, and was replaced by his assistant Joe Fagan. Liverpool took home the League, League Cup and European Cup in Fagan's first season as the first English team to take home three awards in one season. Liverpool reached the European Cup final again in 1985, against Juventus on Juventus at the Heysel Stadium. Prior to kick-off, Liverpool fans broke through the fence that separated two groups of supporters , and confronted Juventus supporters. The weight of the crowd caused a wall to fall down, killing 39 fans most of them Italians. The incident was dubbed The Heysel Stadium disaster. The game was played despite the protests of both managers and Liverpool were defeated 1-0 by Juventus. Due to the tragic incident, English clubs were banned from taking part in European competitions for five years. Liverpool were given a 10-year ban that then was reduced down to six. 14 Liverpool fans were convicted of manslaughter involuntary.

Fagan announced his retirement shortly before the catastrophe in the disaster. Kenny Dalglish was named manager of the player. In his time, the club was awarded three league titles as well as the two FA Cups, including a League and Cup " Double" during the 1985-86 season. Liverpool's success was overshadowed by the Hillsborough disaster: in an FA Cup semi-final against Nottingham Forest on the 15th of April 1989 The day of the disaster, many Liverpool Fans were crushed by fencing around the perimeter. Ninety-four of them died on that day. The 95th victim was admitted to hospital after suffering injuries a few days later. the 96th was dead almost four years later not gaining consciousness, and the 97th victim, Andrew Devine, died of injuries suffered in the tragedy in 2021. Following the Hillsborough tragedy, there was a review by the government of the safety of stadiums. The resultant Taylor Report paved the way for legislation that mandated top division teams to use all-seater stadiums. The report determined that the primary cause of the tragedy was the overcrowding that occurred caused by a lack of control by the police.

Liverpool was part of the most close conclusion to a league game during that season in 1988-1989. Liverpool finished equal with Arsenal in both goal difference and points However, Arsenal was unable to claim the title due to the total goals that were scored at the time Arsenal scored their final goal in the closing minute of the season.

Dalglish also cited the Hillsborough disaster and its consequences as the main reason of his departure in the year 1991 after which he was replaced by ex-player Graeme Souness. Under his direction, Liverpool took home their first 1991 FA Cup Final, however their league performances plummeted and they had two consecutive finishes in the sixth position, which led to his removal at the beginning of January. The replacement was Roy Evans, and Liverpool won their first title in the year 1995 Football League Cup Final. While they did face some title challenge under Evans and finished third in 1998 and 1996 were their best results to manage. Gerard Houllier was named co-manager during the 1998-99 season. He was appointed sole manager in November 1998 , following Evans quit. In 2001, his second full season as manager, Liverpool won a " triple" which included The FA Cup, League Cup and UEFA Cup. Houllier was undergoing major heart surgery in the 2001-02 season , and Liverpool ended up third in the League second only to Arsenal. They were also awarded a League Cup in 2003, but were unable to mount an assault on the title in the two subsequent seasons.

Houllier has been replaced with Rafael Benitez at the close of 2003-04's season. Although he finished fifth in Benitez's debut year, Liverpool won the 2004-05 UEFA Champions League, beating A.C. Milan 3-1 after a penalty shootout, after the game ended with the score 3-3. The following season, Liverpool finished third in the Premier League and won the 2006 FA Cup Final, beating West Ham United during a shootout following the game ended 3-3. American businessmen George Gillett and Tom Hicks became the owners of the club in the 2006-07 season, as part of an agreement that valued the club as well as its debts to PS218.9 million. The club made it to an UEFA Champions League Final against Milan in the same way as it did previously in 2005, but lost the match 2-1. During the 2008-09 season Liverpool achieved 86 points, its then-highest Premier League points total, prior to the record-breaking 2018-19 season, and finished as runners up to Manchester United.

The 2009-10 campaign, Liverpool finished seventh in the Premier League and failed to be able to qualify for the Champions League. Benitez subsequently left by mutual consent and was replaced by Fulham manager Roy Hodgson. Roy Hodgson was the manager of Fulham at the beginning of the 2010-11 season, the manager of Fulham was Roy Hodgson. Liverpool was in the midst of going bankrupt and the club's creditors pleaded with for the High Court to allow the sale of the club in order to overrule the demands from Hicks as well as Gillett. John W. Henry is the manager of Boston Red Sox as well as of Fenway Sports Group made a successful bid for the club and was able to take ownership in the month of October. The poor performance at the beginning of the season resulted in Hodgson being dismissed by mutual consent , and his former teammate as well as manager Kenny Dalglish taking over. The 2011-12 campaign, Liverpool secured a record 8th League Cup success and reached the FA Cup final, but ended up finishing in eighth place which was the lowest league position in the last 18 years. This resulted in the dismissal of Dalglish. He was replaced by Brendan Rodgers, whose Liverpool team in the 2013-14 season mounted an unexpected title charge to finish second behind champions Manchester City, and then return back to Champions League, scoring 101 goals this was the highest number since the 106 goals scored during the year 1895-96. After a disappointing season in 2014-15, when Liverpool placed 6th in the league and then a disappointing start to the next season, Rodgers was sacked in October of 2015.

Rodgers was substituted by Jurgen Klopp.. Liverpool made it to the semi-finals in the Football League Cup as well as the UEFA Europa League in Klopp's first season being runners-up in both of the competitions. Liverpool came in second place at the end of the 2018-19 season with 97 points (surpassing the 86 points earned in the 2008-09 campaign) with only losing one game. This is a points record for a title-less team. Klopp took Liverpool to successive Champions League finals in 2018 and 2019, with the club defeating Tottenham Hotspur beat Tottenham Hotspur by 2-0 in winning their final of the 2019 UEFA Champions League Final. Liverpool defeated Flamengo in Brazil at the final 1-1 to win the FIFA Club World Cup for the first time. Liverpool also went on to be the winners of their first title in the the 2019-20 Premier League, winning their first top-flight title in 30 years. The team set multiple records during the league which included winning the league with only seven remaining games, which is the first time a team has ever been awarded the title, having a record-setting 99 points and achieving an record of 32 wins in a top-flight campaign.

For the majority of Liverpool's time the club's home colours were all red. The club was established in 1892, white and blue quartered shirts were in use before the team adopted the colour of the city that was red, in the year 1896. The symbol of the city, the liver bird was adopted as the badge (or crest, as it's sometimes referred to) in the year 1901, however it was not included in the uniform until 1955. Liverpool were still wearing white and red shorts until 1964, when Manager Bill Shankly decided to change to a red strip. Liverpool played in red in the inaugural match in the history of Anderlecht in 1964, according to Ian St John recounted from his autobiography

He [Shankly] believed that the color scheme could have psychological weight - red to signal danger and red to show power. He walked into the dressing room and gave a pair red shorts at the famous poet Ronnie Yeats. "Get dressed in the shorts, and let's see what you're like" he told him. "Christ, Ronnie, you are stunning, frightening. You look 7 ft tall." "Why not go full of the way boss?" I suggested. "Why not put on red socks? Let's all go out with red." Shankly was in the loop and an iconic kit was born.

It is true that the Liverpool away strip has often been white or yellow shorts and black shirts however there have been a few variations. A grey and all-black uniform was launched in the year 1987 that was in use up to the time of the centenary in 1991-92 which was followed by an assortment of white shirts and green shorts. In the 1990s, such as navy and gold, vibrant black, grey, and yellow as well as ecru The club switched between white and yellow away kit until 2008-09 campaign, which saw the return of its grey kits. The third kit was created to be worn in European games away from home, however it also is worn during home matches when the kit worn by the away team is in conflict with the home kit. Between 2012 and 2015 the kits were created for the club by Warrior Sports, which was appointed as the club's kit provider at the beginning of 2012-13's season. In February of 2015 Warrior's parent company New Balance announced it was joining the international football market with teams that are sponsored by Warrior and being equipped with shirts designed by New Balance. The other Warrior-branded shirts that were worn by the team were produced from Umbro from 1985 until after which they were taken over with Adidas and manufactured the kits until 1996, when Reebok became the new owner. The kits were produced for a decade before Adidas produced the kits from 2006 until 2012. Nike became the club's official kit manufacturer in the beginning of the 2020-21 season.

Liverpool was the first English professional club to have a sponsor's logo on its shirts, after agreeing a deal with Hitachi in 1979. Since then, the team has received sponsorship from Crown Paints, Candy, Carlsberg and Standard Chartered. The agreement with Carlsberg and Standard Chartered, concluded in the year 1992 was among the longest-running contract for sponsorship in English premier league football. The relationship with Carlsberg ended with the start of the season 2010-11, after which Standard Chartered Bank became the club's sponsor.

This Liverpool badge is based off the symbol of the city's liver bird that used to be set within an shield. In 1977 the red bird standing on football (blazoned as "Statant on a football Liver Bird wings raised and addedorsed with a beak holding an ounce of seaweed Gules") was approved as an emblem of heraldry through the College of Arms to the English Football League to be used by Liverpool. But, Liverpool did not use the badge. In 1992, to mark the club's centennial an entirely new badge was designed, with an image from Shankly Gates. Shankly gates. In the following year, twin flames were added on each side, a symbol of that of the Hillsborough commemoration outside Anfield which is where an everlasting flame burns in the memory of the victims of the Hillsborough tragedy. It was in 2012 that Warrior Sports' first Liverpool kit was stripped of the gates and shield and returned the badge to the original badges that were adorned Liverpool shirt in the 1970s. The flames were relocated to the back of the shirt. They also included the number 96 to represent the number of people who died in Hillsborough.

Anfield could hold over 60,000 supporters at the peak of its capacity and the capacity of 55,000 before the mid-1990s, after which, in accordance with the Taylor Report, all clubs of the Premier League were obliged to change to all-seater stadiums by the time to the season 1993-1994, which reduced the capacity of the stadium to 45,276. The report's findings caused the redevelopment of the Kemlyn Road Stand, which was renovated in 1992 to coincide with the centenary year of the club. It was named The Centenary Stand until the year 2017 when it was changed to The Kenny Dalglish Stand. A new tier was added at that Anfield Road end in 1998 and added more capacity to the ground , but also led to issues once it was first opened. A set of stanchions and support poles were added to add support to the highest of the stand after the movement within the tier had been noted in the beginning in the season 1999/2000.

Due to restrictions on the expansion of capacity at Anfield, Liverpool announced plans to relocate to the new Stanley Park Stadium in May 2002. The planning approval was given in July of 2004 and in September of 2006, Liverpool City Council agreed to give Liverpool the long-term lease of 999 years for the site proposed. After the acquisition of Liverpool through George Gillett and Tom Hicks in February 2007, the stadium that was proposed was revamped. It was accepted through Council in November 2007.

The cost was estimated to be PS150m. After the construction was finished for the brand new Main stand, the capacity for Anfield was raised to 54,074. The PS100 million expansion also added a third tier on the stands. It was part of the PS260 million investment to enhance this area. Anfield area. Jurgen Klopp, the managing director at the time, described the stadium in the press release as "impressive."

On June 20, 2021 it was announced the Liverpool Council had given planning permission to the club to remodel and extend to the Anfield Road stand, boosting capacity by about 7000 and bringing the total capacity of Anfield up to 61,000. The new stand, believed to run PS60m and was described as "a significant moment in history" by the managing Director Andy Hughes, and would also see rail seating test-run at the Kop for the 2021-22 Premier League season.
