Liverpool club history
Liverpool FC was formed on 15 March 1892 at the home of John Houlding. He and his close friend at Everton, Barclay, who also left Everton, founded a new club. William E. Barclay, a football man suggested that they should continue with a new name: Liverpool.
This team did not gather at the church, but at the Queen’s Head Hotel which is adjacent to a house called “Ye Anciente Everton Toffee House”. This is where Everton later got the nickname “The Toffees”. Everton played in several locations, then settled on a field between Anfield Road and Walton Breck Road, where the Anfield stadium later stood. Everton once rented the pitch on Priory Street, but were later evicted because of the noise generated during the match
The official Liverpool FC website states that Liverpool was founded on March 15 1892. Liverpool was founded as a result of a feud between the Everton FC Committee and John Houlding, who was the Club President and owner of the Anfield stadium. This feud occurred after in 1891, John Houlding bought the Anfield land directly and increased the rent from £100 to £250 per year. Everton, who have played at Anfield for seven years, refused. Then a feud broke out between the two.
Liverpool didn’t have to wait long to become league champions because in their first season in Division I, Liverpool immediately became champions. Since then Liverpool began to be considered as a new football power in https://prefootball.org/. Supporters of Liverpool FC have been involved in two major football tragedies. The Heysel tragedy, where fans who wanted to escape the riots were trapped by a falling wall during the 1995 European Cup Final in Brussels, which caused 39 fatalities. Most of the fatalities were Italian citizens and Juventus fans.
Liverpool were given a ban on competing in European level competitions for 6 years, and all English clubs for 5 years. The second tragedy was the Hillsborough tragedy in 1989, where 97 Liverpool fans lost their lives due to being crushed by the stand fence, which led to the prohibition of the use of the stand fence and requiring stadiums to have seating for the two highest tiers of English football. A long campaign to seek justice for the tragedy led to a re-run of the autopsy process, and ultimately the allegations against the fan as the cause of the tragedy were dropped by a fact-finding committee and an independent panel.
