Liverpool Football Club are an English professional football club based in Liverpool, Merseyside, who play in the Premier League; they are historically the most successful club in the history of English football, having won more trophies than any other English club.[1] They have won the most English League titles with eighteen, their most recent success coming in 1990. They are third in terms of European Cup[2] wins with five, an English record. They have also had success in the other cup competitions. They were a founding member of the G-14 group of leading European football clubs.[3]
Liverpool have played at Anfield since they were founded in 1892.[4] However, plans have been formed to start work on a new 60,000 all-seater stadium in the summer of 2007 near Stanley Park,[5] funded by the club's new American owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett.
The club's fans have been involved in two major tragedies. At the Heysel Stadium thirty-nine Juventus F.C. fans died when a wall collapsed after crowd trouble in the 1985 European Cup Final,[6] and at Hillsborough in 1989 where ninety-six Liverpool fans lost their lives[7] due to overcrowding.[8]
