– A club was formed bearing the name of Liverpool

Saturday, October 27 – 1900
Great achievements often spring from humble beginnings. Liverpool, at all events, can claim that commenced at the bottom rung of the ladder and step by step have mounted to a prominence higher than a few years ago the most sanguine partisan anticipated. The vociferous cheering which from 1884 to 1892 used to ring along Anfield-road in joyous proclamation of Evertonians victories had not been long hushed before Mr. Alderman John Houlding, as genial a gentleman as one could hope to meet, gathered around him a few enthusiasts, including Mr. Ramsay, and a club was formed bearing the name of Liverpool.
