A player from our history
John Barnes
Tropical Jamaica seemed another planet away when the family arrived in England on 26 January 1976 after his father had been hired as Jamaica’s military attaché in London. "I had never seen snow before," as John revealed in his autobiography. Within a week he had found a football club, Stowe Boys Club.

Kop Quote
Didi Hamann on Jari Litmanen"I've never seen a player with such a good eye for the final forward next to him or his team-mates. He never missed a pass, his vision was just unbelievable. He wasn't the quickest when he came to us but his performance on his debut at Aston Villa was one of the best I've ever seen in a Liverpool shirt."

Where Liverpool Need To Strengthen To Recover From Embarrassing Premier League Start
18 November 2022Last season, the season before and the season before that even, it seemed that the Premier League was simply becoming a competition for the top spot between two clubs, whilst the others fought over the rest. Liverpool and Manchester City were the teams to beat… De Bruyne v Salah… Pep v Klopp - the Blues v the Reds.
Can Liverpool make a comeback and win Premier League?
10 November 2022Liverpool's 1-0 victory over Manchester City this past weekend has left the prospect wide open for an unpredictable title race for this year's Premier League.
