Liverpool was born in 1892, as a split from Everton, after disagreements between the Board of Directors and the owner of the Anfield stadium, Jon Houlding. Despite the uncertainty, as the song says, they kept their heads high and moved forward. In his first season he played and won a regional competition. In 1892-1893 it was included in the Second Division and the following season it was proclaimed champion of that category and played for the first time in the First Division.
However, in these beginnings it took time to consolidate in the highest category and alternated promotions and relegations until 1904-1905. From that season, it was consolidated for fifty years in the First Division, although in 1954-55 it went down to Second Division. It took eight seasons to get promoted again, but after the 1961-1962 campaign, the takeoff of a team that has become one of the most popular in English football began.
It has spent 60 uninterrupted seasons in the First Division, renamed in 1992 as the Premier League, and also in these six decades has added numerous international titles: six Champions League, formerly known as the European Cup, three Europa Leagues, the former UEFA Cup, four European Super Cups and a Club World Cup. His extensive palamarés is a clear example of the golden sky that Liverpool has managed to reach in its history.
Domestically, since the 1961-62 season they have won 14 of their 19 First Division championships, now known as the Premier League.
The Liverpool fans have also been the protagonist of dramatic moments, two milestones stand out above all: The Heysel tragedy and the Hillsborough tragedy. Without a doubt, the shaken and beaten dreams that You’ll never walk alone sings. Precisely this song was composed by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein for the musical Carousel, premiered at the Majestic Theater on April 19, 1945. In said work, You’ll never walk alone is sung by one of the protagonists, after a moment tragic. A hymn for a crowd that has witnessed and been the protagonist of two dramatic moments in the history of football and that is now sung by numerous clubs around the world.
The Heysel tragedy happened on May 29, 1985. An avalanche of fans in the run-up to the European Cup final, caused by an incident between Liverpool Hooligans and a group of Juventus fans, led to the death of 39 fans, mostly Italians, and 600 injured of varying degrees. This drama led to the expulsion of English teams for several seasons from continental competitions.
Four years later, at Hillsborough Stadium, 97 people died, mostly fans. reds after an avalanche that caused the crushing of the fans against the fences of the field. The event occurred during a match between Liverpool and Nothingham Forest. On this occasion, the subsequent investigation determined that the causes had not been as in Heysel, incidents between hobbies, but the excess capacity and the poor condition of the Sheffield field.
