Greetings and welcome to our home away from home.

 

In the beginning:

 

If it wasn't for one man, Liverpool Football Club would never have been born. When Everton left Anfield in a dispute over rent in 1892, club chairman John Houlding stayed behind along with a handful of supporters and just three first-team players. But he was determined to see football continue at the ground. He formed a new club from scratch, chose the name Liverpool… and created a legend.

 

Even John Houlding couldn't have predicted how successful it would become. More than 100 years on, no English club can match the LiverpoolFC roll of honour; League Champions 18 times, FA Cup winners seven times, League Cup winners seven times, European Cup winners five times and UEFA Cup winners three times.

On his first day, the day he took over from the biggest legend this club has ever seen he cemented his place in legend when he addressed the players for the first time:

 

"I never even wanted the bloody job"

No, other people slow you down mainly by their own incompetence.
