If it weren’t for John Houlding Liverpool Football Club would never have been born. But even Houlding could not have predicted how successful Liverpool FC would become: no English club can match The Reds’ roll of honour at home and abroad: Five European Cup/Champions Leagues, three UEFA Cups, 18 Football League championships, six FA Cups; eight Football League Cups, plus numerous others. The Official Liverpool FC Illustrated History charts rise of Liverpool FC to the very summit of English and European football, from the struggles of the early years in the nineteenth century, through the domination of the late twentieth century, to the great cup successes in the new millennium.

This is a fabulous book for all Liverpool fans. There is a wealth of knowledge but this isn’t just a facts and figures book. Rather, it takes you through a journey from Liverpool FC’s humble beginnings up to Brendan Rodgers recent managerial reign. The book covers the history in rich detail with accompanying photos, from the highs of the league and European success to the lows of tragic events like Heysel and Hillsborough.
