A.F.C. Liverpool
Encyclopedia
A.F.C. Liverpool is a semi-professional English
football club set up by 1,000 Liverpool football club fans in 2008. Fans are able to buy into the club on a 'one member-one vote' basis. The club kicked off the 2010–11 season in North West Counties League
Division One. In the 2011–12 season they will play in the North West Counties Football League Premier Division.
The club was formed in 2008 and won the North West Counties First Division Trophy in its inaugural season. It retained the trophy the following season, the only club ever to do so.
The club was managed by the former Southport
and Bangor City centre back Derek Goulding from its formation until 7 April 2010.
Goulding was succeeded by previous assistant manager and another former Southport player, Paul Moore, who took over in a caretaker role and brought in Paul Walsh as assistant manager from Ashton Town FC. With an impressive end to the season; winning five and drawing two of the last seven games, and leading the team to victory in the Vodkat First Division Trophy, he was offered the role on a permanent basis.
. The club is a non-profit organisation. The AFC Liverpool founder Alun Parry
said "I've been going to Anfield
since the late Seventies when I was six years old. A season ticket in the Kop cost £45 in 1985, today it's £650, which I know is a lot cheaper than some other Premier League clubs, but in inflation terms Eighties prices should equate to £98 today." He also stated that the formation of the club had nothing to do with the debated ownership of Liverpool. Parry stressed that the club was not to be estranged from Liverpool, but he hoped that it would look on AFC as a 'little brother'.

5–3 on penalties after the match ended in a 1–1 all draw. The club collected its second trophy of the season in The Fans Club Trophy on 2 August beating Runcorn Linnets 4–1.
The club's first competitive game took place on 9 August, at home to Darwen
