About
Liverpool Football Club
Liverpool Football Club are an English
professional football club based in Liverpool,
Merseyside. Liverpool play in the Premier
League, and are the most successful club in the
history of English football, having won more
trophies than any other English club. They have
won a record 18 English League titles, although
the last time they won the title was in 1990.
Liverpool have won five European Cups, which is
an English record. Only A.C. Milan and Real
Madrid have won Europe's premier club
competition more times. They have won the FA Cup
and League Cup seven times.
Liverpool have played at Anfield since they were founded in 1892.
However, plans have been formed to start work on a new 60,000 all
reserved seat stadium, which could be raised to 80,000 depending on
planning permission, in the summer of 2010 near Stanley Park. The new
stadium will be funded by Tom Hicks and George Gillett, who became the
club's owners on February 6, 2007.
Liverpool have a large and diverse fanbase, who hold a string of
long-standing rivalries with several other clubs; the most notable of
these is with neighbours Everton, with whom they regularly contest the
Merseyside derby. Liverpool have a fierce rivalry with Manchester
United, due to the success of both clubs, as well as their proximity to
each other. The club's fans have been involved in two major disasters.
At the Heysel Stadium disaster, 39 Juventus F.C. fans died when a wall
collapsed after crowd trouble in the 1985 European Cup Final, and at
Hillsborough in 1989, 96 Liverpool fans lost their lives due to
overcrowding.
Liverpool
have only ever had one home ground, Anfield, where they have played
since foundation. Anfield was built in 1884 on land adjacent to Stanley
Park, and was originally inhabited by Everton. They left the ground in
1892 over a rent dispute, with the owner of Anfield; John Houlding, who
decided to form a new club to play at the ground.
