The club was formed in 1892 following a disagreement between the board of Everton and John Houlding. The disagreement resulted in Everton moving to Goodison Park from Anfield and leaving Houlding with an empty stadium. Thus, Houlding formed Liverpool F.C. to play in the empty stadium. The club won its first significant trophy in 1901 – the First Division title. Since then, the club has won a further 17 league titles, along with seven FA Cups and Football League Cups. They have also been crowned champions of European football on five occasions by winning the European Cup. The club was one of 22 teams in the Premier League when it was formed in 1992. They experienced their most successful period in their history under the management of Bob Paisley, who guided the team to 21 trophies in nine seasons.
