Liverpool Lebanon

On this day in 1892, John Houlding and his friends were informed Liverpool Football Club and Athletic Grounds Company Limited had been officially recognised.

And the rest, as they say, is history. 🔴

Happy 134th Birthday to the best football team in the land. ❤️

Sir Kenny Dalglish has confirmed he is undergoing treatment for a cancer diagnosis.

Sir Kenny: “As my inadvertent social media post has indicated, I am currently undergoing treatment for cancer,” said Sir Kenny. “Unlike my mobile phone use, the treatment is going well.

“Ideally, this would have remained private because that’s the way it should be, but my useless technology skills have forced my hand.

“Obviously I did not mean to make this matter public so I would appreciate it if the privacy of my family and myself are respected."

Our support and love is with you, Sir Kenny ❤️

✍️ ARNE SLOT'S OPEN LETTER TO THE ECHO

In his final message to supporters, Arne Slot reflected on his time at Anfield and thanked Reds fans

Arne Slot: "You walk out under that famous sign in the Anfield tunnel, and you feel a mix of emotions," he wrote.

"Responsibility, of course. To this club’s great history.

"Expectation, naturally. To honour the legacy that, for 134 years, has made Liverpool FC one of the biggest clubs in world football.

"And determination. To compete. To win. To bring success to an Anfield crowd so renowned across the globe.

"That all of those emotions would culminate in a Premier League title after just 12 months was beyond special. It was not only a trophy, but a reward for the hard work, sacrifice and commitment shown by so many people throughout the club.
It was made even more meaningful because you got to enjoy it with us. Singing our songs, cheering the goals. And on the day we lifted the trophy, you were there. Lining the streets outside the stadium, filling Anfield in anticipation.

"Having had much of that taken from you in 2020, it was never lost on me how much it mattered that you were part of it all. Seeing you come together in your hundreds of thousands on the streets of Liverpool for the title celebrations only reinforced that idea.

"What followed on Water Street later that day was shocking and my thoughts remain with all of those affected. I was privileged to witness first-hand your spirit of compassion and unity. It is a spirit that has carried this city through difficult moments before, and one that I hope will help bring the justice and accountability so many have campaigned for over many years.

"That only weeks after celebrating together we would lose Diogo is indescribable. More than anything, I want to remember a teammate, a friend and an incredible human being who touched the lives of thousands of you every time he wore this club’s famous crest.

In one of the most difficult moments this club has faced, the love, compassion and support shown by the Liverpool family was extraordinary. As I leave this club, it would be remiss of me not to say that the way you honoured Diogo and stood together in his memory will stay with me forever.

The connection we share goes beyond football, beyond European nights under the Anfield lights or the sound of ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’ being sung from The Kop.

"You made me feel welcome from the start and helped me on the path. That is something I cherish."
