Liverpool Still Have the Same Number of Ballon d’Or Winners as Blackpool and Dukla Prague Following Salah Omission

Admin - September 24, 2025 - Players

Despite being one of the most prolific winners of silverware in Europe, Liverpool FC’s success still hasn’t been recognised with honours for their players on the continent.

In fact, the Reds’ haul of just one Ballon d’Or winner remains on a par with such luminaries as Blackpool and Dukla Prague.

There was hope that a second Liverpool player would be awarded the Ballon d’Or trophy in 2025, with Mo Salah having just delivered one of the all-time great seasons in European football.

But the Egyptian was once again cruelly overlooked, finishing a mind-bogglingly low fourth in the rankings.

Reds Win Latest Newcastle Classic After Injury Time Rio Ngumoha Winner

Admin - September 1, 2025 - Matches

Liverpool don’t really have a huge rivalry with Newcastle, although that could change if they can somehow pull off the Alexander Isak deal. The clubs are united by players and managers such as Kevin Keegan and Kenny Dalglish, as well as a dislike of Man United and Jordan Pickford!

But somehow there is just something a little special when the teams meet and over the years it has helped produce some truly cracking contests. The first classic happened well over 100 years ago, so there won’t be many alive today who have even heard about it from relatives who might have been at Anfield on the 4th of December 1909!

Liverpool Smash Their Own Record for Spending In a Single Transfer Window

Admin - August 21, 2025 - Finance

By the time you’re reading this, Alexander Isak may or may not be a Liverpool FC player.

The Newcastle striker is doing his best to fashion a move to Merseyside, releasing all manner of public statements which suggest that there’s no way back for him on Tyneside.

Arne Slot is interested in signing the Swede, with rumours suggesting that an initial £110 million bid was rejected. It remains to be seen whether the Reds return with an improved offer before the transfer window metaphorically slams shut.

If Isak doesn’t join, Slot may turn his attentions elsewhere – his squad does appear a little light on attacking talent ahead of a quest for more success domestically and on the continent.

All of which would increase Liverpool’s transfer spending in the summer of 2025 yet further… and that has already broken all previous records.

RIP Joey Jones: Liverpool Legend Deserves Place Amongst Club’s Greatest Ever Left Backs

Admin - July 23, 2025 - Players

It was with great sadness that we learned of the passing of Joey Jones in July 2025.

In many ways, he was the perfect embodiment of Liverpool FC – Jones supported the club as a boy and frequently stood on the Kop, later getting the Liverbird tattooed on his arm.

He would come through the youth ranks at Wrexham, another club at which he is revered as an icon, before switching to Liverpool in 1975 in a £115,000 deal sanctioned by Bob Paisley.

The History of Liverpool’s Record Transfer Fee: Wirtz Deal Hits New Heights

Admin - June 24, 2025 - Players

In a season full of new highs, Liverpool have broken the transfer record for a fee paid by a Premier League club.

They will shell out a cool £116 million for Florian Wirtz, with only Philippe Coutinho’s switch from Anfield to Barcelona commanding a higher fee in a deal involving a Premier League side.

By extension, the capture of the German playmaker is also a record fee paid by Liverpool, so Wirtz clearly has big boots to fill.

Three Times a Liverpool Player Has Won the Premier League Goal of the Season Award?

Admin - May 23, 2025 - Players

The secret to success in football, of course, is scoring goals… and lots of them.

So while quantity is king, there’s also plenty to be said for quality, too – football, at its best, can be something of an art form.

There’s a handful of different awards given out at the end of the campaign to anoint the scorer of the best goal; ranging from the Premier League Goal of the Season to the BBC Goal of the Season, as well as the Puskas Award.

The likes of Terry McDermott, Ray Kennedy and John Aldridge all won the BBC’s award, handed out in conjunction with Match of the Day, prior to the First Division being rebranded as the Premier League, with Dietmar Hamann, Steven Gerrard, Emre Can and Mo Salah getting the nod since the 1992/93 campaign.

But only three Liverpool players, as of the end of the 2024/25 campaign, have ever won the official Premier League Goal of the Season trophy. Can you name them?

Cristiano Ronaldo to Liverpool? Five Players the Reds Oh So Nearly Signed

If, or when, Liverpool win the Premier League title in 2024/25, it’s rather cool that Jurgen Klopp will be invited along to join the celebrations.

You may recall when the Reds last won the EPL trophy back in 2019/20. The pandemic had unfolded and so the season ended behind closed doors, meaning that no Liverpool fans were on the premises when their heroes secured the title.

And, of course, the traditional trophy parade was also prohibited.

So it’s a lovely touch for Klopp to be welcomed back; even if he’ll keep his distance from the players, you suspect, given that we’re now in the Arne Slot era.

Five Big Stars That Liverpool Allowed to Leave as Free Agents

Admin - March 26, 2025 - Players

Much can change in a short space of time, so by the time you’re reading this the landscape may have altered once more, but it’s possible that in the summer of 2025, three of the greatest players ever to pull on the red shirt could leave Liverpool on a free.

Reports suggest that Trent Alexander-Arnold will finally make his long-rumoured move to Real Madrid at the end of the 2024/25 season. The marauding right back has been linked with a switch to the Bernabeu for a number of years, and with his Liverpool contract coming to an end on June 30, it seems now is the time that TAA will head to Spain.

The Reason Why Trent Alexander Arnold Wears 66… And Other Liverpool Squad Numbers Explained

Admin - February 27, 2025 - Players

The number 66 will forever be indelibly ingrained in the fabric of English football: 1966 being the year that England won their first – and, so far, only – World Cup.

It would be fair to assume that a commemoration of that golden tournament would be the reason that Trent Alexander Arnold wears the number 66 squad number on the back of his shirt at Liverpool.

But you’d be wrong. In fact, the reason for TAA’s digits are almost wholly random.

Celebrating Mo Salah’s Best Goals In Europe For Liverpool as He Joins the 50 Club

Admin - January 23, 2025 - Players

There are plenty of milestones and records of which Mo Salah is the sole owner at Liverpool FC, and he’s now taken up membership of another club in which he’s the only member.

The Egyptian scored his 50th European goal for Liverpool in the 2-1 Champions League win over Lille.

He admitted that although he ‘wasn’t focused’ on the milestone before the game, he was ‘very proud’ of his achievement. “Hopefully [it’s] not the last one!” he joked, in a way that would have been funny but for his ongoing contract issues.
