Liverpool Football Club were founded in 1892 after a dispute between the committee at Everton and the owners of Anfield.

Founded specifically to play at the ground, Liverpool have been at Anfield ever since, going on to become one of the biggest and most successful clubs in England and Europe.

Champions of England more times than any other club until they were surpassed by Manchester United late in Sir Alex Ferguson’s tenure at Old Trafford, the Reds are by far England’s most successful side in European competition and have been blessed with some of the world’s finest footballers over the years.

Here, a look at some of the players who scored 100 goals or more for the Reds…

16. Kevin Keegan
