Joe Allen

Midfielder · Liverpool 2012–⁠2016

Although new Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers had a written agreement with his previous employers, Swansea City, that he would not try to sign any Swansea players for a full twelve months, there was a certain inevitability about Joe Allen leaving south Wales once it became clear that there was a clause in that agreement allowing him to leave for £15 million for a big English club.

Kop Quote

Jimmy Case on his good pal Ray Kennedy

"Tactically Ray was in a different league. He had a delicate touch, a sweet left foot and his movement was phenomenal. I used to cover much more ground and tackle more and he’d cover less ground but use his head more. We worked well together. His best point has to be his timing.

Liverpool remain perfect in Champions League: Are they among the favourites?

24 October 2026

Three matches, three victories, and a tournament-leading haul of twelve goals scored. On paper, Liverpool sit joint top of the Champions League standings with a maximum nine points, one of only two unbeaten teams in the entire competition.

New Brighton days: the Merseyside seaside that generations of fans grew up with

19 October 2026

New Brighton began as a Liverpool merchant's idea. In the 1830s James Atherton bought land at the north-east corner of the Wirral, at the mouth of the Mersey, and laid out a resort with his son-in-law, William Rowson. He named it after Brighton, the resort he hoped to emulate.

Anfield keeps its history alive by changing around the game

17 October 2026

Manchester City’s visit on 11 October will add another match to Anfield’s long record. Before the teams emerge, the ground will already be doing what it has done across generations of Liverpool sides: turning a fixture into a shared event with a memory of everything that came before it.
