During Liverpool Football Club's first 68 years, they won five Football League championships

before being relegated to the Second Division in the 1950s. They were founded in 1892
when John Houlding needed a team for the Anfield stadium, recently vacated by Everton Football
Club. After winning the Lancashire League title in their first season, they were accepted into the
Football League for the 189394 season. With Tom Watson as manager, they were promoted to
the top tier of English football, winning their first League championships in 1901 and 1906 and
reaching the FA Cup final in 1914. Liverpool's fortunes fluctuated during the inter-war years,
when the club often finished in midtable, although they did win two further championships in 1922
and 1923. An expansion to the Spion Kopterracing in the 1920s increased Anfield's capacity.
Liverpool became League champions again in 1947, in the first season after the Second World
War, but, following a gradual decline, they were back in the Second Division by the time of Bill
Shankly's appointment as manager in 1959. (Full article...)
