Personalised Liverpool Football Books

Enjoy a Newspaper History of the Reds

Liverpool FC was founded in 1892 by the owner of Anfield at the time, John Holding. Everton had previously been using the stadium, but they left following a dispute over rent. Three Everton players remained behind and Holding formed a new team to play at the ground. Liverpool has since won over thirty major titles, therefore becoming one of the most successful football teams in the country. The Reds have also enjoyed an incredible record in European competition. Former managers Bill Shankly, Bill Paisley and Kenny Dalglish helped to mould the dominant Liverpool teams of the past, whilst players such as Kevin Keegan, Ian Rush, Alan Hansen and John Barnes thrilled the crowds at Anfield. Liverpool remains a strong team that is particularly famous for having passionate fans and a keen sense of tradition.
