A player from our history

David Burrows

David "Bugsy" Burrows was a few days short of his twentieth birthday when Kenny Dalglish signed the no-nonsense left-back from West Bromwich Albion.

Why Accurate Data and Secure Transactions are Essential for the Modern Football Archivist in the 2025-26 Campaign

18 February 2026

In the heart of Anfield's shadows, Liverpool FC archivists sift through grainy 1970s tapes of Bill Shankly's roars alongside 4K drone footage from the 2025-26 Premier League campaign. A single disputed offside call from last month's derby against Everton risks distorting Mohamed Salah's goal tally.

In recent years, under the guidance of Jürgen Klopp and Virgil van Dijk, The Reds have soared to new heights with the Champions League in 2019 as their latest mark of dominance in Europe. I will also never forget the introduction of Georginio Wijnaldum at half-time and the corner taken by Trent Alexander-Arnold against Barcelona in the semi-final that year.
