SLIDE 2: The evolution of football in England

If early football generated tremendous enthusiasm among common folk in Britain,

it also withstood repeated - and unsuccessful - interventions from the authorities
who frowned on this often violent recreation.

During the 100 Years' War between England and France the royal court was
unfavourably disposed towards football. The game was punishable by law because
it prevented their subjects from practising more useful military disciplines,
particularly archery. None of these efforts had much effect. The popularity of the
game among the people and their obvious delight in the rough and tumble for the
ball went far too deep to be uprooted.

All told there was scarcely any progress at all in the development of football for
hundreds of years. But, although the game was persistently forbidden for 500
years, it was never completely suppressed.

SLIDE 3: Liverpool Football Club

Liverpool Football Club has had an incredibly rich and interesting history since its
creation in 1892. It has had more than its share of tragedies as well as miracles,
which is part of what has helped to create one of the most beloved and revered
Football Clubs, with fans all over the world. Anfield, Liverpool's stadium, is also
famed all over the world for its consistently high attendance and vivacious
crowds. The club has won six European Cups, three UEFA Cups, four UEFA
Super Cups, one FIFA Club World Cup, eighteen League Titles, seven FA Cups, a
record eight League Cups, fifteen FA Community Shields and one Football League
Super Cup

SLIDE 4: BADGE

For much of Liverpool's history its home colours have been all red, but when the
club was founded its kit was represented by the blue and white quartered shirts,
which were used until 1894, when the club adopted the city's colour of red. The
city's symbol of the liver bird was adopted as the club's badge in 1901, although it
Liverpool continued to wear red shirts and white shorts until 1964, when it decided
to change to an all red strip. Liverpool was the first English professional club to
have a sponsor's logo on its shirts, after agreeing a deal with Hitachi in 1979.

SLIDE 5: Stadium:

Anfield was built in 1884 on land adjacent to Stanley Park. Situated 2 miles from
Liverpool city centre, it was originally used by Everton before the club moved to
Goodison Park after a dispute over rent with Anfield owner John Houlding. Left
with an empty ground, Houlding founded Liverpool in 1892 and the club has
played at Anfield ever since. The capacity of the stadium at the time was 20,000,
although only 100 spectators attended Liverpool's first match at Anfield.

SLIDE 6-7Rivalries:

SLIDE 6 The Merseyside derby:

The Merseyside derby refers to football matches between Everton and Liverpool,
two major English clubs from Liverpool, Merseyside. It is the longest running top-
flight derby in England, having been played continuously since the 1962–63
season. Part of the rivalry is due to the proximity of the two clubs, whose home
grounds are within sight of each other across Stanley Park, Everton at Goodison
Park and Liverpool at Anfield.

Traditionally, the Merseyside derby was referred to as the "friendly derby" because
of the large number of families with both Liverpool and Everton supporters and
was one of the few that did not enforce total fan segregation. Since the mid-1980s,
however, the rivalry has intensified on and off the field, and since the inception of
the Premier League has had more red cards than any other game.
 SLIDE 7 Liverpool F.C. – Mancherster United F.C. rivalry:

Liverpool's rivalry with Manchester United stems from the cities' competition in
the Industrial Revolution of the 19th century. Ranked the two biggest clubs in
England by France Football magazine, Liverpool and Manchester United are the
most successful English teams in both domestic and international competitions,
and both clubs have a global fanbase. Viewed as one of the biggest rivalries in
world football, it is considered the most famous fixture in English football. Despite
the 38 league titles and nine European Cups between them the two rivals have
rarely been successful at the same time – Liverpool's run of titles in the 1970s and
1980s coincided with Manchester United's 26-year title drought, and United's
success in the Premier League-era has likewise coincided with Liverpool's ongoing
drought, and the two clubs have finished first and second in the league only five
times. Such is the rivalry between the clubs they rarely do transfer business with
each other. The last player to be transferred between the two clubs was Phil
Chisnall, who moved to Liverpool from Manchester United in 1964.

SLIDE 8 Tragedies:

Hillsborough disaster:

The Hillsborough disaster is a human disaster that occurred on 15 April 1989 at

Sheffield Wednesday's Hillsborough Stadium. The disaster took place in an FA
Cup semi-final between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest. 96 Liverpool fans were
killed, and a further 766 were injured. The situation arose when several thousand
Liverpool fans were entering the Leppings Lane End of the stadium via old
turnstiles. The viewing areas for Liverpool fans were quickly filled, even beyond
their recommended capacity. Many fans trying to enter the stadium were turned
away, but due to the number of people behind them, had nowhere to exit, meaning
they had to continue into the stadium. In an attempt to alleviate the volume of
people, a gate was opened, but this had the undesired effect of more people rushing
into the stadium.
This resulted in people having to be directed through a tight tunnel into the already
overcrowded viewing areas which caused a huge crush at the containing fence at
the front of the stand. The majority of fans were able to reach safety by climbing
the containing fence, going through a small gate which had been opened, and some
were lifted to the above stand by fellow supporters. Many however, were unable to
flee and were crushed as a result. 94 fans were killed on that day, with a further
two fans dying in hospital at a later date. The widely accepted reason for the
disaster is poor policing, due to poor crowd management and lack of stadium
safety checking.

Thank you for your attention

I would say that Sadio Mane is definetly one of my favorites player off all times,
not only is he an amazing player, but he is an extremely humble and charitable
person that dedicates most of his wage to charity and even built a hospital in
Senegal.

When I was little I used to watch football games from all over the world and was
not a fan for any particular team, but I rememeber that AC Milan had a 3-0 half-
time advantage in the 2006 Champions League final, but Liverpool managed an
amazing comeback and scored 3 times in something like 5 minutes, and managed
to win the game and the most important football trophy at the penalty shootout.
