The Birth of Liverpool FC: A Rivalry Born from Dispute

How Everton Created Their Fiercest Rival

One of football's greatest ironies is this: Liverpool's most bitter rivals, Everton, essentially created them. The story begins not with triumph, but with a dispute that would shape English football forever.

In 1884, Everton Football Club was playing at Anfield stadium, renting the ground from a local businessman named John Houlding. Houlding wasn't just a landlord—he owned Anfield and ran The Sandon brewery and pub nearby. For eight years, this arrangement worked brilliantly. Everton won the Football League championship in 1890-91 while at Anfield, drawing crowds of up to 20,000 fans. The club was growing rapidly, and everything seemed perfect.

But beneath the surface, tensions were brewing.

The Great Dispute: Politics, Alcohol & Money

Popular myth suggests the Everton-Liverpool split was simply about rent. The truth is far more complex and fascinating.

The conflict involved multiple flashpoints:

Rising Rent Demands: Houlding wanted to increase rent from £100 to £250 per year—a significant jump that alarmed Everton's committee.

The Brewery Conflict: Houlding insisted on selling only his own brewery's ale at the stadium, creating a profit conflict of interest. The committee saw this as exploiting the club for personal gain.

The Temperance Movement: Victorian England was gripped by the temperance movement, which opposed alcohol consumption. The Sandon pub became controversial when player Patrick Gordon got drunk there and caused a public incident. The committee blamed Houlding's pub for player misconduct.

Political Rivalry: At the heart of it all was a power struggle between Houlding and George Mahon, who led Everton's committee. Their political rivalry made compromise impossible.

The Historic Split

On January 25, 1892, a pivotal meeting took place at The Sandon pub. George Mahon announced the committee had secured an option to buy Mere Green Field (which would become Goodison Park). The battle lines were drawn.

The decisive moment came on March 12, 1892, at a second committee meeting in The Sandon's upstairs room. Everton officially announced they would leave Anfield and move across Stanley Park to their new ground. Houlding was left with an empty stadium and no team.

Liverpool FC is Born at The Sandon

Refusing to accept defeat, Houlding acted swiftly. On March 30, 1892, Liverpool Football Club was officially founded—fittingly, at The Sandon pub where all the drama had unfolded.

The club was initially called "Everton Athletic," but the Football Association refused to recognize two teams with the Everton name. In June 1892, it was renamed Liverpool Football Club and gained official recognition.

On September 1, 1892, Liverpool played their first match against Rotherham Town, winning 7-1. Only 200 people attended—a far cry from today's 61,276-capacity Anfield. In the 1892-93 season, Liverpool won the Lancashire League title in their debut season. They joined the Football League Second Division in 1893-94.

From those humble beginnings emerged one of football's most successful clubs. According to official Liverpool FC records, the club has won:

  • 20 league titles (joint-record with Manchester United): 1900–01, 1905–06, 1921–22, 1922–23, 1946–47, 1963–64, 1965–66, 1972–73, 1975–76, 1976–77, 1978–79, 1979–80, 1981–82, 1982–83, 1983–84, 1985–86, 1987–88, 1989–90, 2019–20, 2024–25

  • 6 European Cups/Champions Leagues (English record): 1976–77, 1977–78, 1980–81, 1983–84, 2004–05, 2018–19

  • 8 FA Cups: 1964–65, 1973–74, 1985–86, 1988–89, 1991–92, 2000–01, 2005–06, 2021–22

  • 10 League Cups (English record): 1980–81, 1981–82, 1982–83, 1983–84, 1994–95, 2000–01, 2002–03, 2011–12, 2021–22, 2023–24

  • 3 UEFA Cups/Europa Leagues (English record): 1972–73, 1975–76, 2000–01

  • 4 UEFA Super Cups (English record): 1977, 2001, 2005, 2019

  • 1 FIFA Club World Cup: 2019

Liverpool is regarded as the most successful club in English football in terms of total trophies won, and holds the English record for most European Cup victories.

The Sandon: Where It All Began

Today, The Sandon pub still stands on Oakfield Road, voted the best Liverpool FC matchday pub. Built in 1870, it remains a pilgrimage site for fans who understand its significance—this is where Liverpool Football Club was born, where founding meetings were held, where players once used it as a dressing room before walking 100 yards through crowds to the stadium.

Before every home match, thousands of fans gather at The Sandon, continuing a tradition that stretches back 134 years. The atmosphere builds as fans sing, discuss the lineup, and prepare for the march to Anfield. It's a ritual that connects today's supporters with the club's founding fathers.

Want to experience authentic pre-match pub culture? Our Liverpool tour packages include exclusive access to The Sandon with local guides who share the full story—plus guaranteed Anfield tickets for the match.


The Sacred Symbols of Anfield

"This is Anfield" Sign: Intimidation by Design

In the tunnel at Anfield, just above where players emerge onto the pitch, hangs a red rectangular sign with white letters: "This is Anfield." For opposition players, it's a reminder they're entering one of football's most intimidating fortresses. For Liverpool players, it's a symbol of what they represent.

The sign was installed by legendary manager Bill Shankly in the 1960s. According to historical accounts, Anfield's groundsman suggested putting up a "Welcome to Anfield" sign to greet visiting teams. Shankly rejected the idea immediately.

In one of his most famous quotes, Shankly explained the sign's purpose: "It's there to remind our lads who they're playing for and to remind the opposition who they're playing against!" This was psychological warfare before it became mainstream—turning a simple sign into a weapon of intimidation.

Shankly's broader vision was clear. He once said: "My idea was to build Liverpool into a bastion of invincibility. You know, Napoleon had that idea and he conquered the bloody world. And that's what I want – for Liverpool to be untouchable."

The Sign's Evolution

The sign has existed in multiple iterations:

  1. First sign (1960s): Shankly's original installation during his transformative managerial era

  2. Removed in 1998 during stadium renovations

  3. Restored in 2012 by manager Brendan Rodgers who "dug it out of the storeroom"

Klopp's Sacred Rule: Earn the Right to Touch It

When Jürgen Klopp arrived at Liverpool in 2015, he established a rule that demonstrated profound respect for the club's traditions. He told his players they couldn't touch the "This is Anfield" sign until they'd won something.

"I've told my players not to touch the 'This Is Anfield' sign until they win something," Klopp explained. "It's a sign of respect."

Jordan Henderson was the only player who had technically earned the right to touch it (having won the 2012 League Cup), but he respected his teammates by not doing so until everyone had earned it together.

After Liverpool won the 2019 Champions League—their sixth European Cup—players finally had permission to touch the sign. The tradition continues today: touching the sign is an earned privilege reserved for those who've won trophies with the club.

For visitors on Anfield stadium tours, standing beneath the sign and reaching up to touch it is one of the most powerful moments. You're in the same tunnel where Liverpool legends walked, where opposing players have felt their confidence waver, where history has been made.

Our exclusive stadium tour includes:

  • Walk through the players' tunnel

  • Touch the iconic "This is Anfield" sign

"You'll Never Walk Alone": From Broadway to Anfield's Soul

If "This is Anfield" represents intimidation, "You'll Never Walk Alone" represents love, solidarity, and hope. This anthem has become synonymous with Liverpool FC, sung before every match by 61,276 voices in perfect unison, scarves raised to the sky.

But how did a song from a 1945 Broadway musical become the most powerful anthem in football?

The Song's Origins

"You'll Never Walk Alone" was written by composers Rodgers and Hammerstein for the musical "Carousel" in 1945. The song appears near the end when the main character, who has died, returns to give his daughter courage to face life's challenges. The lyrics speak of hope during adversity:

"Walk on through the wind
Walk on through the rain
Though your dreams be tossed and blown
Walk on, walk on, with hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone"

How It Became Liverpool's Anthem

In 1963, Gerry and the Pacemakers—a Liverpool band—covered the song. It topped the UK charts for 4 consecutive weeks. Gerry Marsden, the lead singer, was a huge Liverpool fan and gifted a copy to Bill Shankly during a pre-season tour in 1963.

Shankly was immediately captivated. In 1965, he chose "You'll Never Walk Alone" as one of his desert island discs on BBC Radio before the FA Cup final. This was the first recorded instance of fans singing it during a match.

Gerry Marsden later recalled Shankly's words: "Gerry my son, I have given you a football team, and you have given us a song."

Organic Fan Adoption

Initially, the song was played on stadium speakers before matches. When it dropped down the charts, the stadium stopped playing it. But something remarkable happened: The Kop themselves reclaimed it—continuing to sing it WITHOUT speakers, entirely on their own.

This organic adoption by the fans transformed it from a chart hit into something sacred. In 1971, Pink Floyd even included the Anfield crowd singing "You'll Never Walk Alone" in their track "Fearless" on the album "Meddle," immortalizing the sound.

Hillsborough & Deeper Meaning

In 1989, the Hillsborough disaster tragically claimed 97 lives (the 97th victim, Andrew Devine, died in 2021 from injuries sustained in the disaster). The song took on profound new significance. Themes of "never walking alone" resonated deeply during the families' campaign for justice.

In 2012, a new inquest verdict declared the victims unlawfully killed after a 25-year battle. The families had never given up, never walked alone. "You'll Never Walk Alone" became a symbol of solidarity, resilience, and hope that transcended football.

Today's Ritual

The song is sung before EVERY single game at Anfield. It's an iconic spectacle: 61,276 voices, scarves raised high, the entire stadium united in one chorus. The anthem is featured on Liverpool FC's crest, inspired by the Shankly Gates erected in 1982.

Other clubs sing it—Celtic, Borussia Dortmund—but it belongs to Liverpool. For visitors experiencing it live for the first time, the emotional power is overwhelming.

The Kop Stand: The Soul of Anfield

History & Name Origin

The Kop Stand is the heartbeat of Anfield, where Liverpool's most passionate supporters congregate. But why is it called "The Kop"?

The name comes from the Battle of Spion Kop in South Africa on January 23, 1900, during the Anglo-Boer War. British soldiers climbed Spion Kop hill and suffered heavy casualties—the first major British military loss in the war.

In 1906, Liverpool Echo sports editor Ernest Edwards coined the name for Anfield's new embankment, noting: "This huge wall of earth has been termed 'Spion Kop', and no doubt this apt name will always be used."

The stand was dedicated to Liverpool-born soldiers who died at the Battle of Spion Kop. In 1928, a roof was added and the name was formally recognized. Liverpool's Kop is thought to be among the first terraces officially named Spion Kop in English football.

Capacity Changes

Historically, the Kop held over 27,000 supporters when the roof was added in 1928—making it one of the largest single-tier structures in Britain at its peak. After the 1989 Hillsborough disaster, the Taylor Report mandated all-seater stadiums.

Today, according to official Liverpool FC data, the Kop holds approximately 12,409 supporters in a seated configuration. Despite the reduced capacity, it remains one of the most imposing single-tier stands in world football.

Atmosphere & Culture

The Kop Experience is unlike anything else in football. Liverpool's most passionate and vocal supporters congregate here, creating a "wall of sound" that echoes through the stadium. Spontaneous singing became the Kop's trademark—in the 1960s and 70s, as The Beatles emerged from Liverpool, Kopites sang Beatles tunes mixed with player chants.

Bill Shankly once described The Kop's significance: "The Kop's exclusive, an institution, and if you are a member of the Kop you feel you are a member of a society, you've got thousands of friends around you and they're united and loyal."

He also famously said: "At a football club, there's a holy trinity – the players, the manager and the supporters. Directors don't come into it. They are only there to sign the cheques."

What makes The Kop special? Thousands of fans singing as one voice. Flags paying homage to Liverpool's glorious past. An intimidating fortress atmosphere for visiting teams. Liverpool fans are often called "Kopites" in honor of this legendary stand—representing unwavering loyalty and electrifying atmosphere.


European Nights at Anfield: When Magic Happens

Why European Nights Are Different

Anfield transforms on European nights—Champions League and Europa League matches that carry a different atmosphere entirely. Under the floodlights, with continental opponents visiting, the stadium reaches what fans call its "feral, suffocating best."

Liverpool's European pedigree is unmatched among English clubs: 6 European Cups/Champions Leagues (1976–77, 1977–78, 1980–81, 1983–84, 2004–05, 2018–19)—an English record. Anfield's European night folklore stretches back to the glory years under Bob Paisley and Joe Fagan, with a modern revival under Jürgen Klopp's tenure.

Klopp himself said: "If you had Wikipedia or Google and put in 'European nights' the answer must be: Anfield."

Want to experience a Champions League night at Anfield? Our 2025-26 European tour packages include group stage and knockout round matches—the ultimate football experience.

The Miracle of Istanbul (2005)

No Liverpool story is complete without the Miracle of Istanbul—arguably the greatest Champions League final ever played.

On May 25, 2005, Liverpool faced AC Milan in the UEFA Champions League Final at Atatürk Olympic Stadium in Istanbul, Turkey. Liverpool were underdogs; Milan had won Serie A and fielded a star-studded team including Paolo Maldini, Kaká, and Andriy Shevchenko.

First Half Disaster

  • 1st minute: Paolo Maldini scores (1-0 Milan)

  • 39th minute: Hernán Crespo scores (2-0)

  • 44th minute: Crespo scores again (3-0)

At half-time, Liverpool were facing humiliation on the biggest stage in club football.

The Miraculous Comeback

Then came six minutes that would define a generation:

  • 54th minute: Steven Gerrard header (3-1)

  • 56th minute: Vladimír Šmicer 25-yard strike (3-2)

  • 60th minute: Xabi Alonso penalty rebound after save (3-3)

In just SIX MINUTES, Liverpool scored three goals to level the match. The impossible had happened. Extra time finished 0-0, both teams exhausted.

Penalty Shootout Drama

The shootout unfolded as follows:

  • Milan's Serginho misses (shoots over) → 0-0

  • Liverpool's Dietmar Hamann scores → 1-0

  • Milan's Andrea Pirlo saved by Jerzy Dudek → 1-0

  • Liverpool's Djibril Cissé scores → 2-0

  • Milan's Jon Dahl Tomasson scores → 2-1

  • Liverpool's John Arne Riise misses → 2-1

  • Milan's Kaká scores → 2-2

  • Liverpool's Vladimír Šmicer scores → 3-2

  • Milan's Andriy Shevchenko penalty SAVED by Jerzy Dudek

Liverpool win 3-2 on penalties!

Liverpool secured their 5th European Cup (at the time), earning permanent ownership of the trophy and the prestigious multiple-winner badge. They have since won their 6th European Cup in 2019. The match is known as the "Miracle of Istanbul" and is regarded as one of the greatest finals in tournament history.

Rafael Benítez, Liverpool's manager, later reflected: "The Miracle of Istanbul showed that in football, nothing is impossible when you have belief and spirit."

Liverpool City: Beyond the Football

The Beatles Heritage

Liverpool is the birthplace of The Beatles—the most iconic band in music history. John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr emerged from Liverpool's streets to change music forever. For visitors on Premier League tour packages, Liverpool offers a unique dual pilgrimage: football AND music history.

The Cavern Club

Located on Mathew Street, The Cavern Club opened on January 16, 1957, as a jazz club. It became the epicenter of Liverpool's rock & roll scene in the late 1950s and early 1960s.

The Beatles made their first performance at The Cavern on February 9, 1961. Between 1961-1963, they performed here 292 times—honing their craft, building a following, and creating the sound that would conquer the world.

On November 9, 1961, Brian Epstein discovered The Beatles at The Cavern and became their manager—changing music history. The Beatles' last performance here was August 3, 1963, just before Beatlemania exploded globally.

The original club was demolished in 1973 for Merseyrail construction, but reopened in 1984 as a faithful replica using original bricks. Today, it's a live music venue and pilgrimage site for fans worldwide, with live bands playing Beatles covers nightly.

The Beatles Story Museum

Located at Royal Albert Dock, The Beatles Story is the world's largest permanent Beatles exhibition. This award-winning attraction takes you on an immersive chronological journey through the band's career.

The museum features recreations of iconic locations, original memorabilia, and a self-guided audio tour available in multiple languages.

Penny Lane & Strawberry Field

Penny Lane was immortalized in The Beatles' 1967 song of the same name. It's a real street where John Lennon and Paul McCartney met at the bus terminus. Landmarks mentioned in the song's lyrics—the barber shop, the shelter in the roundabout—can still be seen today.

Strawberry Field was a Salvation Army children's home near John Lennon's childhood home. It inspired the psychedelic masterpiece "Strawberry Fields Forever." Today, there's a visitor center with Beatles exhibitions.

Our Liverpool tour packages combine football + Beatles heritage for the complete Liverpool experience. View our 4-day Liverpool itinerary →


Maritime Heritage & Royal Albert Dock

Royal Albert Dock is a Grade I listed UNESCO World Heritage Site that defines Liverpool's waterfront. Opened in 1846 and officially inaugurated by Prince Albert, it was designed by Jesse Hartley and Philip Hardwick as a revolutionary engineering marvel.

The dock was the first UK structure built from cast iron, brick, and stone WITHOUT wood—creating the world's first non-combustible warehouse system. Within two years, it became the first to have hydraulic cranes, pioneering dock technology.

During the late 19th century, Liverpool's docks handled approximately 40% of the world's trade. The Albert Dock was central to Liverpool's role in British Empire expansion.

The dock closed in 1972 due to containerization shifts but was declared a Conservation Area in 1983. In 1988, it re-opened. UNESCO granted World Heritage status in 2004, and in 2018, it received royal charter status—officially becoming "Royal" Albert Dock.

Attractions at Albert Dock

  • The Beatles Story

  • Tate Liverpool: First Tate Modern gallery outside London (opened 1988)

  • Merseyside Maritime Museum: Explores Liverpool's maritime history

  • International Slavery Museum: Examines Liverpool's role in the transatlantic slave trade

Pre-Match Pub Culture: The Sandon & Beyond

The Sandon - Where It All Began

The Sandon pub on Oakfield Road is the birthplace of Liverpool FC. Built in 1870 by John Houlding, this is where all founding meetings were held in 1892, where the Everton-Houlding dispute unfolded, and where Liverpool Football Club was officially born.

Today, it's voted the best Liverpool FC matchday pub and remains hugely popular before every home match.

Before every match, thousands of fans gather at The Sandon 2-3 hours before kickoff. The atmosphere builds with chanting, lineup discussions, and traditional pub food. Walking parades form as fans march together to Anfield, singing Liverpool chants.

What Happens in Matchday Pubs

2.5-3 Hours Before Kickoff: Pubs fill with supporters in team colors. The atmosphere is electric.

Chanting & Singing: Spontaneous chants create festival atmosphere. You'll hear "You'll Never Walk Alone," player chants.

Food & Drink Culture: Traditional pub fare—pies, fish and chips. Pints of lager, ale, or Guinness.

The March to Anfield: Groups walk together to the stadium, scarves raised, voices in song.

It was an unforgettable YNWA experience in which I got the back2back tickets for e Napoli and Brighton matches thru Mirza's matchday affairs. Mirza was attentive to details & feedback, & thru his link with e local agency, had a pleasant surprise treat by him for the latter match. Highly recommended and will go thru him again to get the match day tickets the next time…

Never thought we would have been able to watch Liverpool at Anfield. It was a fantastic experience in a wonderful stadium – was chanting and singing the whole game and 90mins just passed so quickly. Exhilarating match against City!! Thanks Dela and Mirza for taking care of my family and I. It was an unforgettable trip for us from start till end. The stadium tour, the food, the mural hunting and shopping – awesome!! YNWA….

Watched the final match of the season at Anfield and a poignant farewell to the gaffer in the Liverpool vs Wolves match. Had a fabulous time and thanks to Mirza and Dela of Matchday Affairs who went the extra mile to ensure we – all 40 of us! – were all well taken care of all the way, patiently accommodating various requests and to provide us with a great experience. The mural hunt was fun, lunches provided were awesome and the company was great. Made new friends and created wonderful memories to last a lifetime. Thanks again Matchday Affairs 5 star rating 🌟

I read reviews of Matchday Affairs before I decided to engage its services for the Liverpool vs Man U match last Dec 2023, and I'm happy that I made the decision. It was a fantastic experience with a small tour group that keeps it intimate. Mirza is professional yet able to balance the whole experience as casual and friendly. Kak Dela was awesome in sharing advices and information to make our trip a memorable one. The itinerary was very relaxed yet fulfilling. Fully recommended and it won't be the last time that I follow Matchday Affairs to Anfield!!

Thanks to Matchday Affairs for helping us to secure the matchday tickets for Liverpool vs Arsenal at Anfield! The team, esp Dela, was very responsive throughout the whole process and also patient when answering our questions even though the questions may not be directly related to the match itself (e.g about the LFC pre-match walkabout). Getting into the stadium was fuss free and they secured good seats for us as well. Will definitely purchase from Matchday Affairs again, thank you!

Family Trip Dec 2023

It was my first trip to Liverpool. Mirza has been communicative and accommodating to my requests. The itinerary were all well thought out and we managed to catch 3 Liverpool matches! Made a lot of new friends and I really enjoyed myself there. I have taken tour packages in the past and so far, this was the best experience! For those who wants to visit Anfield, look no further. Matchday Affairs is the only one to go to. As one of the Kaka in the group said, " the only affair you are allowed to have, is Matchday Affairs. " YNWA!

This is indeed a real deal. I was skeptical about this tour/service. Many questionable stuff came out during the process of booking and waiting. However it were all answered when we in the stadium. It is a legitimate tour by one man show. Very accommodating on our request and flexible on the itinerary provided. We did museum tour at Old Trafford and Anfield, went on visit the Etihad stadium as well. It will be great if given more options on hotels and seats in the stadium. Thank you for organising the trip to Old Trafford. Indeed a memorable one.

Multi-Stadium Tour

Went for the final game of Liverpool (vs Wolves on 19 May 2024. Was really glad that I was able to get the anticipated final matchday (Klopp's final game) tickets and that was mainly what got me to commit to Matchday Affairs in the first place. Mirza and Dela work tirelessly to give us the fan experience; going to the AXA training ground, wait by the Titanic hotel, mural hunting and more. It's been a great trip because of all new friends you make along the way who will 'never let you walk alone' 😆 I'm glad that my fan experience was fulfilled by Matchday Affairs and I had the extended package with 2 days in London – I thoroughly enjoyed it and learnt a lot; it being my first time in London. Thank you Mirza & Dela!

Klopp's Final Game

Everyone can watch a live football match of your beloved club. But to watch it together with like-minded club supporters in Liverpool coming all the way from Singapore is truly a religious affair… Dela and Mirza are no ordinary tour organizers, they are part of this football religion. They actually made customized hoodies for us and our hero! What can we say…

Great trip! Great tours! Great food! Great people! Matchday Affair has won my heart from day one. Mirza and Dela were very personable and took care of all our needs….. from check-ins to watching the games and even helping us look for toilets…. they're always there for us. I love it personally as they keep close to our great club's YNWA. Even though our group of 28 of us, they seemed to always manage to gather us around and kept us closely knitted. If it's your maiden trip, I highly recommend Matchday Affair…. your travel partner to Liverpool!!
