'''Liverpool Football Club''' is an English football club, that is located in Liverpool, UK. Liverpool currently play in the [[English Premier League]] and are one of the most successful clubs domestically and in Europe. They typically play in an all red kit, but played with white shorts until 1964.

Liverpool was founded in 1892 and joined [[The Football League]] pyramid a year later. The club was founded after a dispute between local rivals [[Everton]] and the landowner of [[Anfield]]. After [[Everton]] moved to [[Goodison Park]], [[Liverpool]] were formed. 

[[Anfield]] has been the club's only ground in their entire history and dates back to 1884, 8 years prior to Liverpool's foundation. In 2002, due to restrictions on the expansion of [[Anfield]], Liverpool made plans to move to the [[Stanley Park Stadium]]. A number of years later it was decided Liverpool would remain at [[Anfield]] after years of speculation. The decision came after they decided extend [[Anfield]] to a 60,000 all-seater stadium.

The club had a huge level of success between the 1960s and the early 1990s, winning various titles. In the 1970s and 1980s alone they won 11 league titles and seven European trophies.

Liverpool's main rivals are their city neighbours, [[Everton]]. The games between the two clubs are referred to as the [[Merseyside derby]]. The rivalry was established from the early days of Liverpool's foundation, due to the disputes between [[Everton]] and the owners of [[Anfield]] in the late 1880s. The club also has a strong rivalry with [[Manchester United]], due to the geographical distances between the cities and the fact they are historically England's two most successful clubs.

The club was part of two tragic football incidents, where fans at each game lost their lives. The [[Heysel Stadium disaster]] happened in 1985, where 39 [[Juventus]] fans died as the result of a wall collapse within the stadium. The [[Hillsborough disaster]] in 1989 resulted in 96 Liverpool fans losing their lives, which was caused by a human crush in the Leppings Lane stand at [[Hillsborough]].

Liverpool are seen as one of the most successful clubs in English football. They have won more European trophies than any other English team; with three [[UEFA Cup]]s, five [[European Cup]]s and three [[UEFA Super Cup]]s. Domestically, Liverpool have won eighteen league titles, seven [[FA Cup]]s and hold the record for [[League Cup]] wins with eight. Since the change of the English top tier to the [[English Premier League]] in 1992, Liverpool is yet to win a league title.
