In January 1892, after bitter wranglings between local brewers John Houlding and John Orrell, Everton Football Club were given notice to leave their football gound at Anfield.
At a meeting, held on 15th March 1892, Houlding decided to leave Anfield Road and form a new club called Liverpool.
Along with a small group of loyal supporters who had refused to move to Goodison, Houlding registered Liverpool Association Football Club with the Football League in May 1892.
