FIVE FACTS ABOUT LIVERPOOL FC
1. Liverpool is the younger of the Merseyside rivals, beginning life as Everton Athletic in 1892.
2. Their heyday came in the 1970s and 1980s, when they won eleven league titles and four European Cups.
3. The 1980s also brought tragedy, as events at Heysel (which led to English teams being barred from Europe) and Hillsborough (which led to a ban on terraces) claimed the lives of many supporters.
4. The iconic liver bird on the Liverpool shirt is the symbol of the city. Two of them sit atop the city’s most famous landmark, the Liver Building.
5. “You’ll Never Walk Alone”, by local act Gerry and the Pacemakers, is perhaps the most famous of all club songs across the world and has been adopted by Borussia Dortmund, Celtic and many others.
