On this day - March 15th 1892 - Liverpool FC is formed
Liverpool FC was formed by following a disagreement in Everton where John Houlding the owner of Anfield wanted Everton to buy Anfield. Houlding had lent the ground to Everton for free until Everton stated to make a profit. The official split happened in a meeting on the 12th of March 1892 where Houlding uttered the famous words "I'm here on a trial, and a criminal never takes the chair". He then left the meeting with 18-19 other members. With his closest friends from Everton, Liverpool was formed in Houldings house. William E. Barclay was the one to suggest the name Liverpool.
