A detailed introduction to the history of Liverpool Football Club (1892-2005) John Houlding, an ordinary businessman, later became the mayor of Liverpool.
His greatest contribution in life was the founding of the most successful football club in English history - Liverpool Football Club.
Anfield Road was just an empty piece of land on Anfield Road in Liverpool, belonging to the brewer John Orrell, and then it became the symbol of Liverpool Football Club.
Everton were founded for Houlding and they played on the vacant land on Anfield Road.
Later, Houlding built a stand for the stadium. However, by 1892, there was a split within the team. A group of people came to Goodison Stadium in Stanley Park, Liverpool, and continued to play games in the name of Everton Club.
Houlding left some people to continue at Anfield and changed its name to Liverpool Football Club.
Houlding appointed John McKennna as Liverpool FC's first coach.
The following year Houlding went to Scotland to look for players.
After a year of preparation, McKenna decided it was time to join the league.
Liverpool were promoted to the First Division in their first season, but they were still in the shadow of Everton. Many people were unwilling to watch a group of Evertonians play football. Although the Liverpool players worked hard, they fell back to the bottom after a year.
Second Division League.
McKenna vowed at the time to return to the First Division within a year. As a result, they won the Second Division championship again and returned to the First Division.
What's interesting is that in their second appearance in the First Division, Liverpool finished fifth in the league, higher than Everton in the same city.
In this way, the two teams in the city of Liverpool began an indefinite contest.
Liverpool won the first top league championship in the club's history in the 1900-1901 season, but was relegated two years later. Fortunately, the team won the second division championship again the following year and returned to the first division. In order to thank the fans for their support
In support, Liverpool Club decided to build a new stand. This stand was named |Spion Kop|. Later, the sincere Liverpool fans who watched the game in this official fan stand were called KOP.
Liverpool won two more league titles before World War I.
But from then until World War II, Liverpool didn't perform very well.
In 1950, Liverpool lost to Arsenal in the FA Cup final, and was relegated to Serie B again in the 1953-1954 season. Liverpool languished in the next seven years.
In 1959, after Sackley took charge of Liverpool, Liverpool could start to create its own era.
In Sackley's first twelve months at the helm, he sold twenty-four players.
In the 1963/64 season, Liverpool won the sixth top league championship in the club's history. In 1965, Liverpool defeated Leeds United in the FA Cup and won the first FA Cup championship in the club's history.
In the 1965/66 season, Liverpool won the league championship again.
The good form continued, and seven years later, in the 1972-1973 season, Liverpool Club won the UEFA Cup for the first time, and in the 1973/74 season, it won the English FA Cup for the second time.
But Sackley suddenly resigned as coach at the beginning of the 1974/75 season. Although the reason is not known now, we must pay tribute to this man who should be the greatest coach in the history of the Red Army.
Sackley's assistant Bob Paisley maintained the Red Army's upward momentum after taking over. In his second year after taking over, they won the league championship and the UEFA Cup.
In the 1976/77 season, Liverpool almost won the Triple Crown, because Liverpool won the league and European Champions Cup that year, but unfortunately lost to Manchester United 1-2 in the English FA Cup final.
In the second year of the competition, Liverpool won the European Champions Cup again, becoming the first team in English history to win the European Champions Cup. In the five years from 1975 to 1980, Liverpool won four league championships, one for the first time.
Two, invincible in England.
Entering the most glorious period of the early 1980s, in 1981, Liverpool won the League Cup for the first time, and even defeated the powerful Real Madrid in the European Champions Cup, winning the European Champions Cup for the third time. Pisley retired gloriously at this time.
During his nine years coaching Liverpool, he won the local coach of the year award six times.
He is also a famous figure in Liverpool's history.
As Liverpool's new coach, Fagan certainly hopes to continue the glory of the previous two coaches, so in the 1983/84 season Liverpool won the Triple Crown again.
But disaster struck soon after. In the European Champions League final at the Heysel Stadium in Belgium, Liverpool faced Juventus. During the game, fans started fighting, causing the stadium wall to collapse, crushing 38 Juventus fans to death.
The Football Association attributed the accident to Liverpool fans and banned all English teams from European competitions for five years, while the Champions League was awarded to Juventus.
