Twenty-year old Peake was already a Welsh international before joining Liverpool. "Standing 5 ft. 8¾ in. (175 cm.) and weighing 10 st. 8 lbs. (67 kg.( he is not well equipped physically for a League footballer, but his cleverness more than counterbalances any lack in this respect," wrote the joint Everton and Liverpool programme one week after he made his debut at Arsenal, where he looked distinctly nervous in a 5-0 drubbing, that, unsurprisingly, was the centre-half's only appearance of the season. It wasn’t until...

"Some people think it's funny to make jokes about goalkeepers when they come up to me but I've just about had enough. If someone two metres away from me drops their glass of beer on the floor, as was the case on Saturday night, you can bet that a wise guy has asked if it was me. Even my postman gets in on the act when he gives me my letters. 'Watch you don't drop them', he says. I don't like these comments and they don't exactly help your confidence either.
"One guy told me I was lucky to have Sami Hyypia and Stephane Henchoz in front of me. That attitude is stupid. Another told me he'd been a fan for years and asked if I really knew what it means to be a Liverpool player. To suggest that is not only unbelievable, it's insulting. I don't mind criticism as long as it's justified."
Liverpool is one of those clubs whose history is literally steeped in the emotions of its fans. The club was founded in 1892, and since then, every era has left its own memorable moments: from the first victories at local stadiums to triumphs in the Premier League and European competitions. Thanks to archives and fan websites, even a newcomer can follow the team's journey and understand what makes it unique: the determination of the players, teamwork, and an inimitable atmosphere in the stands.
The history of Liverpool FC has always been built around facts: matches, goals, unbeaten runs, legendary players, and coaching decisions. That is why archival resources like lfchistory.net are of particular value - they preserve the club's memory not through emotions, but through accurate numbers and verified data. However, over the past two decades, the way this history is consumed has changed dramatically.
Liverpool’s story is often told through the huge landmarks, the finals, the title runs, the European nights. Yet the club’s history is really carried by patterns that repeat week after week. A team’s identity shows up in how it reacts to a bad ten minutes, how it protects a lead when legs are heavy, how it stays brave enough to play when the crowd is nervous. Over time those patterns become memories, then memories become history.
