Allman's one and only appearance in the Football League for Liverpool came at home to Bristol City on 13 March 1909. Just for the record, the visitors won the game 2-1. After…

Kop Quote
Smicer 2003"I played some bad games, there were games when I was so disappointed with myself and for the supporters because I know I could play better.
I thought my best games were in a more central position but it's hard for the manager because since I've been at Liverpool every midfield player has wanted to play in the centre. I understand that but for the Czech team I play behind one or two strikers."

How Liverpool Fans Are Redefining Club Culture in the Digital Age
11 November 2025Digitalization is permanently changing sports culture: how sports content is produced and consumed. Community and fandom have always been part of sports, celebrated in stadiums with faces painted in team colours. Today, however, the fan community has shifted online, fundamentally changing the way fans interact with each other, clubs, and their idols. Fans from all over the world meet digitally, reminisce about glorious moments in real time, share funny memes, and actively shape the culture surrounding their club. Liverpool club culture, too, is being redefined in this way.
Tactical Evolutions in Liverpool FC’s Early Decades
6 November 2025Modern football is shaped by data, high presses, inverted full-backs, and algorithm-driven player positioning. But Liverpool FC’s journey to tactical sophistication didn’t start with Jurgen Klopp or Rafa Benítez; it began over a century ago, in muddy fields with rigid formations and a very different understanding of the game.

It embodies a deeply rooted culture of internal promotion and shared coaching wisdom at the storied club. This famed small room became an informal incubator for a dynasty of legendary Anfield managers, including Bob Paisley and Joe Fagan.
