Did you know that Liverpool hold the best defensive record in the Old First Division? And did you know that Robbie Fowler's 1994 hat-trick against Arsenal is still the fastest in the Premier League?

All this and more in our special pages dedicated to interesting information all genuine Reds fans should know!

Ray Clemence's record of 28 clean sheets (in 42 matches, Old First Division, 1978-79) was broken by Gillingham's Jim Stannard, who managed 29 clean sheets in 46 matches (Div 3, 1995-96).



Liverpool achieved the League and FA Cup double in the 1985-86 season. The only other teams to achieve the double are: Preston NE (1888-89) Aston Villa (1896-97) Arsenal (1970-71 and 1997-98) and Man Utd (1993-94, 1995-95 and 1997-98)

Liverpool are one of only three clubs to have managed to win the League Championship in three successive seasons (1982-83-84). The other two clubs to achieve this League 'hat-trick' are Huddersfield (1924-26) and Arsenal (1933-35).



Kenny Dalglish is one of only three players appearing in and then managing FA Cup and Championship winning teams. King Kenny was a player in Liverpool's Championship winning teams in 1979, 1980, 1982, 1983 and 1984; player-manager 1986, 1988 and 1990; player-manager when Liverpool won the FA Cup (to complete double) 1986.
