They had a famous FA Cup run in the early 1990s, eventually being knocked out by Crewe 3-1 in the 3rd round. Roly Howard was manager for a record 33 years (1972-2005), although he will always be remembered by some fans as Kenny Dalglish's window cleaner. TV presenter Ray Stubbs once asked: "How's business, Roly?" to which Roly replied "Oh you know - ups and downs."
Former players include Michael Ball (Everton and Rangers) and Stephen Wright (Liverpool and Sunderland). The club motto is 'To Enjoy, Not Destroy.'

IT'S always funny seeing people fall over - especially if it's in front of millions of TV viewers. Steven Gerrard was keen to get on with the throw-in as Avram stooped to pick up the ball in Liverpool's semi-final Champions...

AMAZING thread on the go at the Liverpool Echo's LFC forum. Of course, it could be coincidence? When the Russians are involved and there's money to be made, nothing is a surprise. Take a look by clicking here This...

Lucky, Lucky Liverpool
EVEN the most bitter rival fans will struggle to pick holes in Liverpool's 8-0 thrashing of Besiktas in the Champions League at Anfield tonight. It was a breathtaking display featuring no less than 20 shots on target. The scoreline...

Big Bad Dad...Again!!!
YOU may remember I badly let down Jack on that not-so-glorious night in May when he was keen to watch the Champions League final with me. A dad and lad night. His horrible dad was keen to get boozed up...

Athens 2007...Final Word
A BLUE nose sneaked into a Liverpool bus depot to get a glimpse of Liverpool's 2007 Champions League victory bus. That's right...the 2007 Champions League victory bus. The open top bus was beautifully spray painted in anticipation of a victory...

Pippo's 'Nipple Flick' Trick
AC MILAN striker Pippo Inzaghi's decisive first goal in the Champions League final was described by the BBC as a 'freak.' The player himself, perhaps predictably, had a different take on it. If you remember, Pirlo's free kick was heading...

Big Bad Dad?
BIG night for Liverpool. Big night for Jack. He just about remembers the Reds last Champions League final in 2005 (in particular me blasting champagne into his face, soaking his Shrek dressing gown and triggering hysteria). Ah...slightly misjudged that one....

Athens Awaits
THANKS to Virgin Media and a faulty set top box, me and Jack huddled round a portable TV in the back room for tonight's Liverpool-Chelsea Champions League semi-final. He wore a Liverpool scarf even though he's still undecided between...

Why Did We Buy Bunk Beds?
FABIO Aurelio's freak injury in the 75th minute was the last action for Jack as well. He nodded off with his head on my thigh as Liverpool's left back was being stretchered off. Ninety minutes is an eternity when you're...

Sleepy Performance
MY little armchair pundit seems happy with the first half display in Holland. He thinks Liverpool will go on to win 2-1 with goals from Crouchy and Cocu. I detected some heavy eyelids and I predict he may not make...

Live and Free on ITV
JACK groans when he hears words such as 'Sky' and 'Setanta' in relation to TV football. He's heard his dad brand them money grabbers too many times and he now knows that football matches screened on those taboo channels mean...
