Liverpool Football Club were founded on March 15, 1892 by brewery owner John Houlding, who at the time was also the owner of the Anfield Road stadium. Anfield Road had been used used by Everton Football Club but the Blues left in protest over proposed rent increases. In response, Houlding formed a brand-new club and named it Liverpool Football Club. Liverpool FC played one season in the Lancashire League before joining the Football League for the 1893-94 season. Liverpool became a major force under the guidance of legendary manager Bill Shankly, and later Shankly's longtime assistant Bob Paisley. The Reds' period of sustained dominance in the 1970s and 1980s was unmatched until the rise of Манчестер Юнайтед in the 1990s.
