DaveLFC Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 The official split between Houlding and Everton took place on the 12th of March 1892. At a members meeting one of the opponents George Mahon, led the meeting when John Houlding unexpectedly turned up. Mahon stood up to give the club's President the chair. But surrounded by "enemies" Mr. Houlding said the famous words: "I'm here on a trial, and a criminal never takes the chair". He then left the club with 18-19 other members.Liverpool F.C. was formed on the 15th of March 1892. It was at John Houlding's house in Anfield Road that he and his closest friends left from Everton FC, formed a new club. William.E.Barclay, a great football enthusiast, strongly suggested that they should go on with a new name: Liverpool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gomez Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 3rd JuneOn this day in 1892, club founder John Houlding signed the Certificate of Change of Name to change the name of the club residing at Anfield from Everton Football Club and Athletic Grounds Company Limited to Liverpool Football Club and Athletic Grounds Company Limited. We started out in the Lancashire League that September, soon rising through the divisions and heading towards glory. That makes it sound like we used to be everton (in the same way O2 used to be Cellnet) rather than kicking them out and starting a new club?
