Sami Hyypia's performances reminded fans of the good old days of legendary giant Ron Yeats, who was Shankly's pillar in defence. Hyypia was Houllier's tower and later Rafa's. Hyypia was strong, composed and led by example. The word “legend” is often over-used and misused when it comes to sporting achievement. There...

Profiles of every player named in a Liverpool matchday squad since 1892/93 — from legends to one-game substitutes.
Full results, line-ups, appearances and goals from every official match — covering every season from 1892 to today.
Complete head-to-head records, results and key stats against any opponent.
I played for Liverpool against Everton during the war in the Liverpool Senior Cup, as a guest from Preston. All the players were in the passageway including Billy Liddell and myself. But George Kay, the Liverpool manager, didn't speak. He just went round touching people on the shoulder. If he touched you then you were playing.
Andrew Hannah took the armband in 1892, in the club's first season after the split from Everton. Virgil van Dijk holds it today.
In August 2025, Liverpool were around 2/1 to retain the Premier League, the clear favourites with every major firm. By the middle of February they were 150/1, an implied probability of roughly one per cent.
The passion for football doesn’t die when the final whistle blows. The excitement continues for millions of players on a console or PC.
Anfield has produced enough 89th-minute swings that longtime supporters treat a 1-0 scoreline after 85 minutes as unfinished business rather than a result. Steven Gerrard's heroics against Olympiacos in 2004, the three goals inside six second-half minutes against Milan in Istanbul – these are not freak outliers to anyone who has watched Liverpool for a decade. Yet odds compilers keep pricing a goal after the 85th minute as though it belongs in the same bracket as a red card inside the first ninety seconds.
