‘Three cups in a season, it definitely counts as a treble’
AS PART of a series covering some of the most significant moments in City of Liverpool FC history, James Nalton is joined by Sam Pearson to look back on the day the club secured a treble in their debut season

CITY of Liverpool FC’s inaugural season was a statement of intent. 

Off the pitch, the club set its stall out as one that would embed itself in the community in which it resides. A socialist-oriented, inclusive, supporter-owned club that was founded as a community benefit society.

On the pitch, it’s all about winning. This may seem like an obvious aim for any sports team, but ask the fans of numerous clubs throughout the country and they will tell you that their clubs are now business first while everything else, including winning and the supporters, takes a back seat.
