Liverpool Football Club celebrates its 134th birthday today.<\/p>\n
\n
\n
\n
The club officially came into existence on June 3, 1892, after founder John Houlding set about creating a new team on Merseyside that year.<\/p>\n
He and his associates had begun that process in March 1892 as a result of a dispute with Anfield occupants Everton.<\/p>\n
That seismic split saw the Blues move to a different home and left Houlding and those loyal to him with a vacant ground.<\/p>\n
But not for long.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
Taking up the name Liverpool Football Club \u2013 a suggestion credited to William E. Barclay \u2013 Houlding\u2019s new venture was given life when he received the certificate above from the Board of Trade 134 years ago today.<\/p>\n
LFC\u2019s first match was then held on September 1, 1892 \u2013 a 7-1 friendly win over Rotherham Town at Anfield.<\/p>\n
A special story was under way.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
