WHY LIVERPOOL FC HAVE TWO BIRTHDAYS

Liverpool FC have two birthdays.


They do not celebrate it though due to their history. The club started far back in 1892, meaning the club is 125 years in 2017. However Liverpool are not celebrating their birthday due to their complicated split from Everton.

The club was originally called “Everton Football Club and Athletic Ground Company Limited” was incorporated at Companies House January 26 1892. Though the club was incorporated they did not become “Liverpool FC” until June 3, 1892 as there were two Everton football clubs at the Merseyside.

The president of Everton then John Houlding and the owner of Anfield had a row with a group of directors at Everton over the rent he was charging the club. There was just one Everton FC.

To make matters worse after analyzing the history of Liverpool FC, Brendan Rodgers is the first manager since the 1950’s who has not been able to lift a single trophy in his first 3 years in charge of the squad.

It hasn’t even been a substantially memorable season for the players of the squad with Mario Balotelli who continues to struggle while other key performers have sustained injuries but there is one player in specific who will be leaving Anfield after having spent over 15 years at the English club and it’s Steven Gerrard.
