"SEJARAH BERDIRINYA LIVERPOOL FC"
sangat menarik mencermati awal berdirinya klub kesayangan kita ini, di ingkari atau tidak berdirinya LFC di karenakan adanya keretakan di tubuh manajemen everton FC, john houlding pada saat itu merasa "memiliki" everton acap kali membuat peraturan yang nyeleneh
seperti menaikan suku bunga pinjaman terhadap klub, memaksakan setiap pemain everton untuk menggunakan "the sandon" (mgkn semacam cafe) miliknya sebelum dan sesudah pertandingan. yang paling fatal adalah ketika houlding mengajukan proposal tuk mendirikan perseroan dan membeli anfield, proposal ini akhirnya di tolak mentah2 oleh para pengurus eveton yang lainnya dan akhirnya everton pun angkat kaki dari anfield.
kejadian inilah awal dari terbentuknya LFC, ditolak mentah2 oleh pengurus lain bukannya membuat john houlding menyerah, justru timbullah otak bisnisnya, dalam benaknya mungkin terpikir bahwa jika modal sudah ada kemudian lapangan pun tersedia, mengapa tidak sekalian saja di bentuk klub sepakbola baru. dengan di bantu temannya john mcKenna (kelak menjadi manager pertama LFC) houlding membentuk klub baru dengan nama "everton FC and athletic Grounds Company Limited" (gue gak gak bisa bayangin kalau nama ini disetujui.. hehehe), Namun nama tersebut di tolak oleh FA di karenakan adanya kerancuan dengan nama klub sebelumnya.
dan akhirnya pada tanggal 3 Juni 1892 perubahan nama resmi di umumkan melalui sertifikat, nama sebelumnya diubah menjadi "Liverpool FC and athletic Grounds Company Limited"
"LIVERPOOL FC DARI MASA KE MASA"
Inilah squad pertama LFC ketika pertama kali di bentuk di tahun 1892, dengan kapten pertama kali
yaitu Adrew Hannah, yg ironis adalah seluruh pemain LFC pada saat itu berasal dari luar inggris
dengan sebagian besar berasal dari scotland.
sebagai catatan, kalau di musim pertamanya di liga lancashire Liverpool FC berhasil menjuarai liga
tersebut dengan torehan rekor bertanding 22 kali main, 17 kali menang, 2 kali draw dan 3 kali kalah.
dengan rekor gol memasukan 66 gol, kemasukan 19 kali.
sukses di musim pertamanya Liverpool Fc langsung naik ke liga yang paling tinggi pada saat itu yaitu
football league (sekarang premiere league) tinggi yaitu di tahun 1893, hal ini tentunya menjadi
berita gembira bagi seluruh pemain dan manajemen LFC.

"I hate talking about football. I just do it, you know?" Robbie Fowler
"Anyone who doesn't learn from Ian Rush needs shooting." Robbie Fowler
"I used to hate Ian Rush when I was young, because I was a devout Evertonian in those days, and he seemed to score every time Liverpool played against us. It's strange to think he used to support Everton too when he was a kid. He was brilliant to me at Anfield always giving me good advice." Robbie Fowler
"Ever since I started at Liverpool as a kid the fans have taken to me and any player will tell you when the supporters of your club are behind you then that helps an awful lot. I just can't thank them enough. They've given me so much support over the years and I'm grateful for that." Kop hero Robbie Fowler
"Honest to God, I'm so happy it's frightening! I'm just so chuffed - that's all I can say. Obviously since I have left, deep down I have always wanted to come back and it has been a long time but I'm glad to say I'm back now." Robbie Fowler on his return to Anfield.
"I'd kick my own brother if necessary... it's what being a professional footballer is all about." Steve McMahon

"If Shankly had been paid overtime, he'd have been a millionaire." Tommy Docherty on Bill Shankly

"He's better than Platini, certainly better than Rumminegge and Maradona. For me he is the greatest footballer in the world." Graeme Souness on Kenny Dalglish
"If I had to choose a league then it would be the Premier League," Aguero said. "I have been a Liverpool fan for as long as I can remember and it would be a dream to play there. I watched the Champions League final and celebrated every goal as if it was for Independiente."
"The only thing I fear is missing an open goal in front of the Kop. I would die if that were to happen. When they start singing 'You'll Never Walk Alone' my eyes start to water. There have been times when I've actually been crying while I've been playing". Kevin Keegan
"This was a special atmosphere only Anfield can produce. This was St Etienne part two and the fans cheered every tackle and it's one of the greatest nights in this football club's history." Phil Thompson after Liverpool's 2-0 victory over Roma in the Champions League 2002
"How could I leave after a night like that? It was the greatest night of my life." Steven Gerrard after winning the Champions League in Istanbul.
"It was reported that we'd have 20,000 fans out here but there was much more than that. They are unbelievable and I dedicate this victory to them. We were a different team in the second half but by extra time we were running on empty and I'll admit were playing for penalties at the end." Steven Gerrard after winning the Champions League in Istanbul.
"They have done the city proud, they performed brilliantly and I always knew they were going to win. I was proudly wearing my scarf in No 10." Prime Ministers wife and Liverpool fan Cherie Blair after seeing the Reds win the Champions League.
"Carra came up to me after extra time and said 'Remember Grobbelaar and the rubbery legs of 84 - and do the same. Dance, do anything, put them off'!" Istanbul hero Jerzy Dudek after his penalty saving heroics.
"My brother phoned me the morning after the game and asked me had I seen the match again? I said no and he said you need to see it because your save from Schevchenko was the hand of the God. I told him I didn't know how I did it." Jerzy Dudek.
"It is one of the greatest finals of all time and the save Jerzy Dudek made from Shevchenko at the end was unbelievable. I can't believe we've won. He'll be a legend now, not just for the penalties but because of the Shevchenko saves in the game itself. They were unbelievable." Jamie Carragher on Istanbul hero Jerzy Dudek.
"I went so mad that I must have had a bit of a blackout. I just crashed to the floor somewhere and I can't remember a single thing that was going on around me for a few moments. What I do remember as I was lying on the floor was starting to cramp up again!" Jamie Carragher recalls how he felt after Dudek saved the decisive penalty from Schevchenko in Istanbul.
"Managers have to be like actors at times and Rafa Benitez deserves an Oscar for his half-time performance in the dressing room during the Champions League Final. His half-time performance when all was lost in Istanbul was the most astonishing of the whole amazing night." Sir Bobby Robson saluting Rafael Benitez after Liverpool's victory in Istanbul.
"What Rafa has done this season surpasses, without any doubt, what any other manager has done. Jose Mourinho has won the league for Chelsea in his first season and made a real impact in England. But it doesn't come even close to winning the European Cup in your first season. Now Rafa can go and tell any press conference he likes, as Jose did, that he's the true champion. Mourinho can't say that any more. So is Rafa the special one too? Well, he is to Liverpool fans." Jamie Carragher.
"This is the best moment in my professional career. I am a European champion, and I cannot believe it." Xabi Alonso on the feeling of becoming a Champions League winner.
"I didn't sleep with the European Cup but it was in my room! It was just special and I just had to have the cup with me, lifting the cup as Liverpool captain was just the best moment of my life." Steven Gerrard on who he spent the night with after the Istanbul final.
"We were sitting in the dressing room and we could clearly hear thousands of fans singing You'll Never Walk Alone. Can you imagine how that felt? We were 3-0 down in the Champions League final and all we could hear were 45,000 people letting us know they still believed in us. We knew they had endured a long journey and made so many sacrifices to be there. It was at that point we started to believe too." Luis Garcia on what inspired the amazing comeback in Istanbul.
"When you have the best player in the world in your side then you know that anything is possible. I was just praying for somebody to do something special and Stevie came up trumps again. When the ball hit the net I felt like running over to him to give him a big kiss but then I decided against it! Gerrard is the best for me. He is still young, he's got everything in his game and he can do whatever he wants in football. It was just brilliant to win the final. The odds were against us at one stage but there's a great belief in this team now and we never believe we are beaten." John Arne Riise hails FA Cup hero Steven Gerrard.
"We've got a great team spirit - It doesn't matter how many goals we go down, we'll keep fighting till the end." Steven Gerrard.
"I'd put Steven in the top five or six players in the world. In my opinion, I would say he was probably the best. I don't think anyone else could play for Liverpool and do more than he does." Jamie Carragher on Steven Gerrard
"When I was a teenager I saw the Kop on TV and, for me, they are the best supporters in the world.” Gonzalo Rodriguez
"Who's bigger than Liverpool?" Jamie Carragher when asked by Sky Sports if he'd thought of moving to a bigger club
"I wanted to show everybody that I'm still a good footballer, that I still have something to say. I think I have succeeded with that goal and that penalty. It wasn't a nice view at half time, but we wanted to get a goal for our fans as we didn't want them to be sad. I'm spellbound by it all, this is maybe the greatest moment in my career." Istanbul hero Vladimir Smicer.
"It's the atmosphere I love. It's unbelievable. I've played in a lot of stadiums but for me there is nothing like playing at Liverpool. It must be amazing if you are a Liverpool player." Thierry Henry.

Sebuah bencana bagi sepak bola Inggris yang hingga kini masih menjadi kontroversi. The Sun, sebuah tabloid di Inggris yang berskala nasional turut menambah panas suasana dengan memuat berita setelah kejadian tersebut dengan headline berjudul “THE TRUTH” dengan 3 sub headlinenya yang berjudul 'Some fans picked pockets of victims'; 'Some fans urinated on the brave cops'; 'Some fans beat up PC giving kiss of life
The story accompanying these headlines claimed that 'drunken Liverpool fans viciously attacked rescue workers as they tried to revive victims' and 'police officers, firemen and ambulance crew were punched, kicked and urinated upon'. A quote, attributed to an unnamed policeman, claimed that a dead girl had been abused and that Liverpool fans 'were openly urinating on us and the bodies of the dead'.
dapat kita bayangkan betapa sakit hatinya kita melihat headline yg ditulis the sun diatas, terutama bagi keluarga korban, itulah sebabnya mengapa kita para liverpudlian memboikot tabloid the sun, walau setelah itu tabloid the sun meminta maaf atas kekeliruan berita yang telah dimuat sebelumnya namun karena berita tersebut sudah kadung membuat hati kita sakit sehingga saat ini pun para liverpudlian di seluruh dunia dilarang mengutip atau mengambil berita dari harian tersebut sekalipun berita itu tentang klub kesayangan kita ini.
selain itu, untuk mengenang korban Hillsborough maka setelah kejadian tersebut pada logo Liverpool yang terbaru ditambahkan dua “fire caldron” di kanan-kiri sang burung hati, liverbird yang menggambarkan api abadi untuk mengenang korban Hillsborough. selain itu juga setiap tanggal 15 April -- hari di mana tragedi tersebut terjadi, fans Liverpool selalu mengadakan upacara peringatan. Bertempat di Kop Stand, ribuan Liverpudlian selalu bergabung bersama pelatih, staff serta petinggi klub untuk mengenang kembali tragedi tersebut.
20 tahun berlalu sejak bencana di Hillsborough, melalui Hillsborough Family Support Group (HFSG) supporter Liverpool terus menuntut keadilan atas meninggalnya 96 anggota keluarga, saudara, teman mereka. Selama hampir dua dekade tanpa kenal lelah HFSG terus meng-kampanyekan Hillsborough : JusticeFor96.
TRANSKRIP ASLI TENTANG PEMBERITAAN HILLSBOROUGH
Don’t Buy The Sun.
The Hillsborough Disaster occured on Saturday, April 15, 1989.
96 fans would ultimately lose their lives.
They’d gone to Hillsborough to see Liverpool and Nottingham Forest contest the semi-final of the FA Cup.
The following is some of the coverage of the disaster from The Sun ‘newspaper’ from the Wednesday onwards. It is presented here as it was originally written.
The claims in this coverage would later be shown to be without foundation. Although the inquiry found the police were at fault, the battle for justice has still not been won. But the battle goes on, and will go on until that justice is handed down.
The Sun newspaper would go on to be boycotted on Merseyside - and also up and down the country - by fans of Liverpool, Everton, other clubs and people who weren’t football fans at all. It was - and remains - a very much appreciated show of solidarity to the victims and their families.
That boycott goes on to this day, over 22 years later.

THE TRUTH
Some fans picked pockets of victims
Some fans urinated on the brave cops
Some fans beat up PC giving kiss of life
Picture: Superintendent Marshall
Under fire … Superintendent Marshall
By HARRY ARNOLD and JOHN ASKILL
DRUNKEN Liverpool fans viciously attacked rescue workers as they tried to revive victims of the Hillsborough soccer disaster, it was revealed last night.
Police officers, firemen and ambulance crew were punched, kicked and urinated upon by a hooligan element in the crowd.
Some thugs rifled the pockets of injured fans as they were stretched out unconscious on the pitch.
In one shameful episode, a gang of Liverpool fans noticed the blouse of a girl trampled to death in the crush had risen above her breasts.
STUNG
As a policeman struggled in vain to revive her, they jeered: “ Throw her up here and we will **** her.”
Sheffield officers – stung by criticism of themselves and their boss Superintendent Roger Marshall – hit back yesterday to reveal their side of the story.
As the death of a 14-year-old boy brought the toll to 95, cops claimed their rescue effort was hampered by hooligans tanked up at a three-hour boozing session.
One furious policeman who witnessed the disaster on Saturday stormed: “To paint all the Liverpool fans lily-white is wrong.
“As we struggled in appalling conditions to save lives, fans standing further up the terrace were openly urinating on us and the bodies of the dead.
“And as policemen on the pitch tried to save the injured they were hampered by other Liverpool fans kicking and punching them.”
His story was confirmed by Police Federation rep Paul Middup, who revealed how several of his members broke down and wept as they told him what they had witnessed.
“I don’t doubt these stories are true,” he said. “I am sick of hearing of how good the crowd were.
“Some arrived tanked up and the situation faced by officers was simply terrifying.”
But Pc Middup stressed that only a small minority of the Liverpool fans behaved so badly
Most police officers refused to be named because of the impending full scale inquiry.
But a high ranking officer at the ground said: “They were just acting like animals. My men faced a double hell – the disaster and the fury of the fans who attacked us.”
South Yorkshire ambulance chief Don Page revealed one of his men was so badly assaulted by drunken fans he needed hospital treatment. A fireman was also attacked.
A second police officer added: “As one young officer gave the kiss of life and heart massage he was given a savage kick by a lout.”
A third policeman said: “There was a lot of pilfering.
“Personal possessions were missing as well as cash. People were picking up coins which had fallen from victims’ pockets. It was sickening.”
The police claims were backed by Sheffield MP Irvine Patnick, who spoke to officers on duty in the mortuary hours after the tragedy.
“They told me they were hampered, harassed, punched, kicked and urinated on by Liverpool fans,” he said.
“I have kept quiet about this because I didn’t want to inflame a delicate situation.
“But these are the stories told to me by policemen just after it had happened. I saw the bruising on their bodies.”

Thought: Nothing but the truth
Logo: GATES OF HELL
I WAS ROBBED BY KOP YOBS
A SICKENED publican told yesterday how he came to the aid of Liverpool fans after the Hillsborough disaster – and they repaid his kindness by robbing him.
Landlord Richard Wright took pity on a group of lads who claimed to be shaken after seeing the soccer tragedy which claimed 95 lives.
He let them use his private phone to tell their parents they had survived.
Wife Linda even made them ham sandwiches.
But the callous yobs WRENCHED his cigarette machine off the wall, NICKED packets worth £300 and PLUNDERED brass ornaments from behind the bar.
Richard, of the Travellers pub at Birdwell South Yorks, stormed: “This lot have brought shame on decent football supporters.
SHAME
“The [sic] took everything they could lay their hands on. They knew exactly what they were doing. I can’t believe that any fans
Continued on Page Five
I WAS ROBBED
Continued from Page One
would do this after we showed them sympathy.”
Linda said: “We feel bitter. It was a shame it happened on that of all days.”
The kind-hearted couple rushed to help the group of 10 after Saturday’s carnage at the FA Cup semi final between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest.
The Travellers is the nearest bar to the M1 junction which Liverpool fans use to reach Sheffield.
LOOT
The fans spent two hours in the pub.
But the cunning mob waited until Richard turned his back.
Then they wrecked the cigarette machine, searched the bar for cash and fled with what loot they could grab.
Richard said: “I dashed outside. They were about to drive off in a van.
TIME
“I demanded ‘give it me back’ but they just roared off.”
He added: “I’ve very angry at being taken for a mug.”
Richard’s pub is next door to an off-licence called D & G Ltd – and that was ALSO rifled after the game.

Fear of the publicans invaded by rampaging Mersey mob
Logo: GATES OF HELL
By MARTYN SHARPE and ALASTAIR TAYLOR
SHAKEN Sheffield publicans revealed yesterday how Liverpool soccer louts drank them dry before Saturday’s disaster.
The Mersey mob emptied two pubs and four supermarkets of beer.
And after a frightened landlady failed to find fresh stocks, a gang of teenaged thugs smashed up her bar.
Some Liverpool fans were seen quaffing cans of ale in a Sheffield car park at 8.30am. Others were hammering on pub doors at 10.15am.
By the time their marathon booze binge was over, hundreds were so incapable they were slow getting to the ground.
And their late, drunken arrival is believed to have contributed to the stampede which trampled and suffocated 95 people to death. Keith Ollerenshaw, manager of Sheffield’s Owl pub, was besieged by Liverpool and Nottingham Forest fans from 10.15am.
“There were about 300 of them waiting to come in. The Liverpool fans were the worst,” he said.
“All they seemed interested in was getting as much booze under their belt as possible.”
Mr. Ollerenshaw was left with nothing on his shelves but fruit juice and low alcohol lager.
“Some of them were drinking solidly for four hours,” he said. “Their attitude was the worst I have ever seen in a pub.
Worst
“There were loads of them who left in the minutes running up to the kick-off.
“There was no way they could have got into the ground on time.”
Liverpool fans also drank dry the Royal Hotel, one mile from the ground. And after landlady Shirley Sykes ran out of beer, her bar was wrecked.
Fans TORE pictures off the wall, HURLED glasses at each other and JUMPED up and down on the pool table. Mrs Sykes said:
“The police are being blamed for what happened on Saturday. But I want to put the record straight.
The fans could not get enough booze. They drunk four big supermarkets dry around here.
We had to send out for extra stocks of cans but we could not get any.
It was fine until about 2 o’clock when a dozen 18 and 19-year olds came in. They were swinging on light fittings, pulling them off the walls.
My pub looked like a battleground after they had finished. We eventually shut our doors.”
In the village of Birdwell, eight miles from the ground, fans travelling in a 53-seater coach stripped an off-licence’s shelves bare.
Manageress Gwen Glossop said: “When they left half of my stock had been taken.
FANS HIT OUT OVER COP ‘LIES’
By TIM BUCKLEY and ROBERT KELLAWAY
OUTRAGED Liverpool fans yesterday slammed as “lies” the claims by police that they were attacked while reviving Hillsborough victims.
Angry fans swamped The Sun switchboard as they demanded proof that rescuers were punched, kicked and urinated on.
Sobbing Scouser Joseph Murray stormed: “I can’t believe these lies. It’s just the police trying to squirm out of it. They were pushing the fans back in and now they are trying to cover their backsides.”
David Williams, 23, from Liverpool, said he did not see anyone urinating over policemen, but added: “I did see people wet themselves from shock and fear.”
And he said: “There WERE people who had been drinking, but they were not drunk.”
But devoted Liverpool fan Charles Hollsworth, 43, said everything the police said was TRUE.
Charles , from St Helens, added: “I think the police need sticking up for.
“Everything that the police said did happen.”
POLICE chief Peter Wright yesterday DENIED there had been a cover-up.
The South Yorkshire chief constable added: “I can understand the fans’ anger. But many of the comments have distressed my men.”
PAGE ONE OPINION
THE SUN SAYS
The truth hurts
THE truth hurts. But that is no excuse to hide from it.
On Page One yesterday, we reported the unpalatable facts about the behaviour of SOME of the Liverpool fans at Hillsborough.
Many of those who stormed into the ground had been drinking. Some urinated on rescue workers trying to save dying youngsters. Others looted the pockets of the injured.
We did not invent that horrific report. The facts came from the police, an MP, local publicans and taxi drivers.
The people of Liverpool are angry that The Sun published the truth. Misguided local radio DJs urge listeners not to buy the paper.
Will that bring back the dead? Of course not.
But hopefully telling the world exactly what went on at Hillsborough will mean that something is done to prevent such a disaster happening again.
If the price to be paid is that some of you stop buying The Sun, then so be it.
You have a choice.
The 95 who died at Hillsborough had no such choice.

AFTERMATH OF HILLSBOROUGH ++ AFTERMATH OF HILLSBOROUGH
SOCCER TRAGEDY FILM ‘CLEARS’ LIVERPOOL FANS
Movie given to judge
By ANDREW BYRNE and JOHN SCOTT
A FAN’s film of the Hillsborough death-crush clears Liverpool supporters of blame, it was claimed last night.
The colour film, shot by 22-year-old computer analyst Andrew Jones, shows fans struggling for life at the Leppings Lane end of the Sheffield ground.
The Liverpool Echo newspaper, which reproduced the film across six pages, claimed it showed “the real truth of the disaster.”
The paper said it was proof that a breakdown in crowd control and stewarding inside the stadium led to 95 deaths at Saturday’s Cup semi0final with Nottingham Forest.
Inquiry
The Echo says the film, with the ground’s digital clock clearly in view, shows that:
1. It took 11 minutes for ambulances to arrive
2. Police formed a barrier to hem fans in as they struggled to escape
3. Only one policeman can be seen directing fans to a safety gate.
The film has been handed to the disaster inquiry led by Lord Justice Taylor.
West Midlands police, who will gather evidence for the inquiry, revealed their investigation could take NINE MONTHS.
It will be the biggest disaster inquiry held in Britain, with 500 officers taking part.
The team will be based in Sheffield, Liverpool and Birmingham and will be linked by satellite.
A Freephone line will be installed to encourage fans to give statements.
West Midlands assistant chief constable Mervyn Jones said yesterday: “We want to interview anyone who has anything material to say.”
His officers will also study all TV films and pictures taken at match. [sic]
Meanwhile South Yorkshire Chief Constable Peter Wright accepted responsibility for his officers’ actions at Hillsborough.
He told his police committee: “Those officers were appointed by me and it follows that I accept full responsibility for the police action.”
Police made 43 arrests
THERE were 43 arrests at the Hillsborough disaster – 19 of them drink-related, it was revealed last night.
And 19 police officers were treated for injuries, Home Office minister Douglas Hogg said.
He told MPs the arrests were made inside and outside the ground.
One was for obstructing or assaulting the police and another for urinating in a public place.
A further ten fans were thrown out.
There were NO arrest for robbery, looting or pilfering.
Some emergency staff are being treated for stress as a result of the tragedy, said Mr Hogg.

Yob fans attacked 999 men
Three ambulancemen were assaulted during the Hillsborough disaster, Home Office Minister John Patten revealed last night.
He told the Commons: “The chief ambulance officer reports that, so, three staff have reported an assault but that the debriefing of his staff is not yet complete.”
Mr Patten added that details of attacks on police officers had not been collated, and the fire brigade had reported no trouble.
