The Reds Through The Ages - A Brief History Of Liverpool F.C.
by Trevor Daivid Delves
When John Houlding lost an argument about rent with the Everton committee in the spring of 1892, he did the only logical thing: he founded his own football club on the ground they vacated. He called it Liverpool. It would go on to win twenty league championships and six European Cups — and yet the road from that petty Victorian dispute to the summit of world football runs through places no supporter would have chosen to visit.Reds Through the Ages tells that story across ten episodes, each covering a coherent chapter in the club's history.

Episode 1 - The House That Houlding Built (1892–1923)
It begins with an argument about rent. In January 1892, Everton Football Club voted to leave their Anfield ground rather than accept a rent increase from their landlord, John Houlding. They walked across Stanley Park to Goodison Road and never came back. Houlding, left with an empty stadium, did the only logical thing: he founded a new club and filled it.Episode One covers Liverpool's first three decades — from John McKenna's scouting trips to Scotland that assembled the "Team of the Macs," through Tom Watson's seventeen years of professional ambition that produced two league championships, to the post-war back-to-back titles of 1921 and 1922 that should have launched a dynasty and were instead its end. Why Liverpool spent the next twenty-four years winning nothing is one of the game's great unanswered questions. This episode asks it.Player of the Era: Alex Raisbeck — the Stirlingshire half-back who captained the 1901 champions and gave Liverpool its first identity, at a time when the club was still trying to prove it deserved to exist.
