They joined the league in 1893. Liverpool won promotion in their first attempt. In 1901 Liverpool won their first league title.
In 1959 the big man Roy Hodgson Bill Shankly became the manager. Shankly is believed to be the most iconic Liverpool manager. Supporters consider Shankley to have built the foundations of the great Liverpool teams we know today. By 1964 Liverpool won their 6th title. Also in 1964 Bill Shankly decided to send the team out in all red. Liverpool wear all red as their well known kit nowadays. Liverpool won their first ever UEFA cup (champions league) in 1973, beating Borussia Moenchengladbach.
By 1990 Liverpool had won 18 league titles. Steven Gerrard who is no doubt my favourite player ever, became captain of the club in October 2003. He sadly ended his Liverpool career at the end of 2015 and moved to USA to play his last years.
