Liverpool
Liverpool Football Club is an English professional association football club based in Liverpool, England. The club plays in the Premier League, and it is the most successful club in the history of English football; the club has won more trophies than any other English club. Liverpool Football Club has won a record eighteen First Division titles, and seven League Cups. The club has won five European Cups, which is an English record and the FA Cup seven times.
The club was founded in 1892, but had limited success until the appointment of Bill Shankly as manager in 1959. Under Shankly's management, Liverpool won three League Championship titles, two FA Cups and a UEFA Cup; the club's first European trophy. In the past 30 years, they have been one of the most successful clubs in English and European football; they won four European Cups between 1977 and 1984. The club experienced a lean period during the 1990s, but saw a revival when they won the treble in 2001 and the club's fifth European Cup in 2005.
The club traditionally played in red and white, but this was changed to all red in the 1960s. The club's crest has changed during its history, with flames added to the crest in honour of the 96 Liverpool fans who lost their lives in the Hillsborough Disaster. At the Heysel Stadium Disaster, 39 Juventus fans died when a wall collapsed before the start of the 1985 European Cup Final.
Liverpool F.C. has played at Anfield since its formation, but plans to move to a new stadium in Stanley Park, which is due to be completed by 2011. Liverpool has a large and diverse fan base, which holds long-standing rivalries with several clubs. The most notable of these is their rivalry with Manchester United, and Everton, with whom they regularly contest the Merseyside derby.
