January 10, 2021, Rosset Park Stadium, College Road, Crosby. The biggest day in the 127-year history of Marine AFC. To understand why this day mattered so much, let’s take a dive into the past:
The History
In 1894, Marine AFC was founded by a group of local businessmen and college students. The name came from the Marine Hotel on the River Mersey sea front at Waterloo which was the founders’ meeting place, seven miles north of the Liverpool city centre. Nine years after their inception, they moved to their current stadium.
They were never a seriously professional club at any point in their history, but they did win some trophies (which might perhaps be the only category where they can claim to be better than Spurs).
