A player from our history

Steve Heighway

Heighway often took the “highway” up the left wing , riding tackles, showing perfect ball-control at breakneck speed, delivering great passes. He was one of the greatest entertainers who has ever graced the Liverpool shirt. Heighway was spotted playing for non-league Skelmersdale United by Bob Paisley’s sons, Graham and Robert. Bob sr. himself decided to have a look and was very impressed. “When I first saw him he almost took my breath away because he had “Star” written all over him and he was playing for Skelmersdale against South Liverpool,”...

Kop Quote

From Sunday Express' report when 2nd division Liverpool won 1st division Everton 4-0 at Goodison Park in the FA Cup in 1955

"It was as so many Liverpool victories have been, Billy Liddell's game. This great footballer steered the team to a two-goal lead from centre forward and when centre half Laurie Hughes was injured in the second half, he moved to left half. He then proved that he was Liverpool's best defender as well as their best forward. He picked off the Everton moves like ripe plums and still had time to make a goal."

Goalkeepers with the Most Clean Sheets in Liverpool History

23 February 2026

Goalkeepers aren't just another member of a football's squad. They're the last point of contact for the ball; they can often decide the fate of games by their heroics - or villainy - within the sticks.

Why Accurate Data and Secure Transactions are Essential for the Modern Football Archivist in the 2025-26 Campaign

18 February 2026

In the heart of Anfield's shadows, Liverpool FC archivists sift through grainy 1970s tapes of Bill Shankly's roars alongside 4K drone footage from the 2025-26 Premier League campaign. A single disputed offside call from last month's derby against Everton risks distorting Mohamed Salah's goal tally. For Liverpool FC, archiving isn't nostalgia; it's a high-stakes battle to digitise 133 years of history amid exploding data volumes. In 2025-26, with the club's open digital archive portal launching and VAR disputes up 15%, accurate data preservation ensures legends like Kenny Dalglish and Steven Gerrard endure untainted.

More Than a Shirt

18 February 2026

Being a Liverpool fan is special. Growing up with legendary players such as John Barnes, Ian Rush, Steven Gerrard and the wonder of Istanbul in 2005 nurtured my love for the club. In recent years, under the guidance of Jürgen Klopp and Virgil van Dijk, The Reds have soared to new heights with the Champions League in 2019 as their latest mark of dominance in Europe. I will also never forget the introduction of Georginio Wijnaldum at half-time and the corner taken by Trent Alexander-Arnold against Barcelona in the semi-final that year.
