The club was especially dominant from the late 1970s into the 1980s. Great players from this time include Ray Clemence, Mark Lawrenson, Graeme Souness, Ian Callaghan, Phil Neal, Kevin Keegan, Kenny Dalglish (102 Caps) and Ian Rush (335 Goals).
The club was also present at two of the biggest tragedies in European football - at Heysel in 1985 and Hillsborough in 1989.
They completed an unprecedented treble of two domestic cups (the League Cup and the FA Cup) and the UEFA Cup in the 2000/01 season.
