John Houlding tribute officially unveiled at Anfield
The Lord Mayor of Liverpool, councillor Christine Banks, and LFC chief executive officer Peter Moore unveiled the tribute ahead of this weekend’s Merseyside derby.
“John Houlding is arguably responsible for the footballing legacy of this city – he was the first president of Everton FC and the founder of Liverpool FC, as well as being the Lord Mayor of Liverpool,” said the Lord Mayor.
“He was an important character in our city’s history and this stunning tribute is a fitting reminder of what he started over 120 years ago.”
Pupils from Anfield’s Four Oaks Primary School, which is situated in the shadow of the stadium, were also in attendance to lend a helping hand to the Lord Mayor and Moore.
