In 1900-0 1 season, Liverpool Football Club won the first championship and won the championship again in 1905-06 season. 19 14, Liverpool advanced to the FA Cup final for the first time, but lost to Burnley Football Club 0-/kloc-0. The club won the championship in succession in 192 1-22 and 1922-23 seasons, but Liverpool never won any championship after that until the club won the championship for the fifth time in 1946-47 season. 1950 season, the club advanced to the FA Cup final again, but finally lost to Arsenal. In the 1953-54 season, Liverpool Football Club was relegated to the second division. During the period after relegation, Liverpool suffered the biggest humiliation in the history of the club. In the FA Cup match of 1958-59 season, Liverpool lost to FC Worcester City with 1-2. Bill shankly was appointed head coach of Liverpool Football Club. In his first two seasons in office, he terminated his contract with 24 players. Shankly also created a "boot room" at Anfield Stadium. The so-called boot room was originally just a small room with boots hanging, where coaches discussed tactics and drank tea (or beer). In the boot room, Shankly and several other coaches who founded the boot room-joe fagan, bob paisley and Ruben Bennett-began to rebuild the Liverpool Club.
In 196 1-62 season, Liverpool returned to the English first division, and in 1963-64 season after 17 season, they lifted the first division trophy again. Liverpool Football Club won the FA Cup for the first time in 1965 and the League Championship for the seventh time in 1965-66. In the 1972-73 season, Liverpool won the league title and the UEFA Cup, and won the FA Cup a year later. After that, Shankly retired and was replaced by former assistant coach bob paisley. Paisley is more successful as a head coach than Shankly. In his second season as head coach-1975-76, he led the team to win the league championship and the UEFA Cup. The following season, they won the league title again and the European Champions Cup for the first time, but they lost in the FA Cup final and missed the chance to win the "three consecutive championships". In the 1977-78 season, Liverpool won the European Champions Cup again. In the following season, Liverpool broke the English record, won the league championship with 68 points, and only conceded 16 goals in 42 games. During his nine seasons in charge of Liverpool, Paisley helped the team win 19 championship trophies, including 3 European Champions Cups, 1 UEFA Cup, 6 League Cups, 3 English League Cups and 1 European Super Cup. The only thing missing is an English FA Cup trophy. Paisley retired in 1983 (just like Shankly) and handed over the position of head coach to assistant coach joe fagan, who was the main member of the boot room. In Fagan's first season, Liverpool won three championships: Carling Cup, English Carling Cup and European Champions Cup, and became the first manager in English football history to lead the team to win three championships in one season. 1985, Liverpool once again reached the Champions League final. The match was held in Haiser Stadium against Juventus. Before the game started, the tragedy happened: Liverpool fans broke the fence separating the fans of both sides and angered Juventus fans. The weight of the conflict eventually led to the collapse of the wall, killing 39 fans, most of whom were Italians. After the game, both players were unwilling to fight, and finally Liverpool lost 0-/kloc-0-0 to Juventus. As a result, English clubs were banned from participating in European competitions for five years, while Liverpool was banned for 65,438+00 years, which was later changed to six years, and 65,438+04 Liverpool fans were accused of manslaughter. After the tragedy, Fagan resigned as head coach, and Kenny Dalglish became a player and head coach. Under his leadership, the club won three league titles and two FA Cup titles, and won the "double crown" of league titles and FA Cup titles in 1985-86 season. But Liverpool's success was overshadowed by another disaster.
1989 April 15 In the FA Cup semi-final match against Nottingham Forest Football Club, nearly 100 Liverpool fans were crushed to death. On that day, 94 fans died on the spot. Four days later, the 95th fan died in the hospital due to injury, and the 96th fan died four years later without waking up. After the Hillsborough tragedy, the government began to conduct a comprehensive review of stadium safety. Taylor Report suggested that the authorities should strictly require all top league clubs to use full-seat stands. According to the report, the main reason for this disaster is that the police failed to control the crowded scene. 1989 Liverpool seems to have fallen into a "strange circle" all season. In the last round of home game against Arsenal, they were reversed at the last minute by their opponents-and finally lost the title of the league title by the goal difference. Dalglish blamed the Hillsborough tragedy for his defeat, and then he announced his resignation in 199 1 because he could not face the negative impact of this incident. Dalglish was replaced by former Liverpool player graeme souness. Apart from winning the FA Cup with 1992, Souness did not achieve much, and was soon replaced by former bootroom member roy evans.
