Founded in 1892, the club has won 19 League titles, seven FA Cups, a record eight League Cups and fifteen FA Community Shields.

Liverpool’s fans have been involved in two major tragedies: the Heysel Stadium disaster, where escaping fans were pressed against a collapsing wall at the 1985 European Cup Final in Brussels, with 39 people – mostly Italians and Juventus fans – dying. and the Hillsborough disaster in 1989, where 96 Liverpool supporters died in a crush against perimeter fencing, which led to the elimination of fenced standing terraces in favour of all-seater stadiums. The team changed from red shirts and white shorts to an all-red home strip in 1964 which has been used ever since. Liverpool won its first FA Cup final in 1914, losing 1–0 to Burnley. It won consecutive League championships in 1922 and 1923, but did not win another trophy until the 1946–47 season, when the club won the First Division for a fifth time under the control of ex-West Ham Utd centre half George Kay.
