History

One of the most successful clubs in the United Kingdom. Founded in 1892 due to dispute between Everton FC Committee with John Holding as President of the Club who is also the owner of Anfield stadium. As a result of this opposition, Everton finally moved to Goodison Park stadium and John Holding made the Anfield stadium as Liverpool FC cage until now. The club was given the name of Everton FC and Athletic Grounds, Ltd.., Or Everton Athletic summarized, but the FA refused to admit there are two teams called Everton. Finally, in June 1892 John Houlding was eventually chose the name Liverpool FC. Liverpool incarnates a serious force in English football competition.


In his first season, Liverpool FC won the Lancashire League before eventually joining the Second Division League in season 1893/94. In his first season in Division II Premier League, Liverpool FC instantly become champions and entitled to promotion to the English League First Division (now Premier League). It did not take long for Liverpool to taste the title in the league, because in his first season in Division I of this (season 1900/01), Liverpool won the Division One success and repeat it again five years later. Liverpool FC won the league two successful consecutive seasons of 1921/22 and 1922/23 seasons, but did not get the trophy again until the 1946/47 season when the league won the title of the 5th. FA Cup Final first performed in 1914, although eventually they defeated Burnley 1-0. After wading Division I for more than 50 years, finally Liverpool FC in decline and relegated to the Second Division in season 1953/54.

Striker David Ngog arrived from Paris Saint Germain in July 2008.

The hotshot is one of the brightest young talents in French football.

His tally of just one goal from 18 league appearances in 2007-08 was largely down to PSG's disappointing form - a contention backed up by his prolificacy on the international stage.

Ngog has scored goals at every youth level for France, including two absolute corkers against England U19s last season.

He made his Liverpool debut as a substitute against Aston Villa on August 31, 2008. A first goal followed away at PSV on December 9.

The No.24 has continued to flourish in 2009-10. He followed up an Anfield strike against Stoke City with the only goal of the game in a Carling Cup third round tie away to Leeds United.

However, the highlight of his Reds career so far came on October 25, 2009 when Ngog displayed composure that defied his tender years by scoring a Kop end goal in stoppage time to seal a 2-0 victory over Manchester United.

The lightning quick forward is the cousin of former Newcastle United defender Jean-Alain Boumsong.


Jose Manuel Reina is one of the world's top stoppers with an uncanny knack of saving penalties.


He became the latest Spaniard to join the Rafalution in July 2005 and has already smashed a collection of Anfield records.

The bald-headed goalie ousted Jerzy Dudek as first choice despite the Pole's heroics in Istanbul just two months earlier.

Reina, who goes by the nickname Pepe, certainly had the pedigree having come through the ranks at Barcelona.

Having helped lead his country to European Under-16 Championships glory, he made his Nou Camp debut aged just 18.

The charismatic 'keeper played 33 games for the Catalan giants in 2000-01, including two against Liverpool in the UEFA Cup semi-final.

He would later reveal how the reception he received from the Kop during the second leg was key in his decision to join the Reds.

Reina, who is noted for his superb distribution, played just 11 times during the 2001-02 season, prompting a loan move to Villarreal. The transfer was made permanent in May 2004.The agile stopper helped Villarreal secure a Champions League spot in 2004-05 season, saving an incredible seven out of nine penalty kicks. It was to be his final deed for the club.

On arriving in Merseyside, the new boy was labelled "the best goalkeeper in Spain" by Rafa Benitez.

Immediately installed as top dog in the Anfield goal, his debut came in a Champions League qualifier on July 13, 2005 against TNS. A month later he won his first Spain cap in a 2-0 victory over Uruguay.

What a year it was turning out to be for the young 'keeper. And it was to get even better on December 15 when he and his teammates kept a club record 11th successive clean sheet against Deportivo Saprissa in the World Club Championships.

Reina's first season ended with an FA Cup final against West Ham, and though he made a number of errors in normal time, his habit of saving spot kicks once again made him a hero. Three out of four of West Ham's penalties were blocked and the Cup was heading to Anfield for the seventh time.
