About the Liverpool quiz
Few clubs carry as much myth as Liverpool: six European Cups, twenty league titles, an anthem sung by the whole ground and a sign in the tunnel that players touch on the way out. This free Liverpool quiz spans the club's entire story, from the 1892 founding and Bill Shankly's rebuild out of the Second Division to the 2024-25 Premier League title that drew Liverpool level with Manchester United's English record of twenty. It covers the Boot Room dynasty, the great European nights, the 30-year league drought and the ending of it. If 'You'll Never Walk Alone' means something to you, this is your quiz.
The defining nights are all in here. Rome 1977, where Bob Paisley's side beat Borussia Monchengladbach 3-1 for the club's first European Cup — Paisley would win three of them in five seasons. Istanbul 2005, where Steven Gerrard hauled Liverpool back from 3-0 down against AC Milan before Jerzy Dudek's shoot-out heroics. Anfield 2019 — corner taken quickly, Divock Origi — and a 4-0 comeback against Barcelona on the way to a sixth European crown in Madrid. And the two ends of a 30-year wait for the league: Kenny Dalglish's champions of 1990 and Jurgen Klopp's of 2020.
Expect the full spread — transfers, records, managers and the cult heroes, David 'Supersub' Fairclough included. Transfers run from Kenny Dalglish arriving from Celtic in 1977 to replace Kevin Keegan, to the British-record £125m that took Alexander Isak from Newcastle to Anfield in 2025. Records mean Ian Rush's 346 club goals and Mohamed Salah's 257 — nine years that brought two league titles and a Champions League before his farewell this summer. Managers span Shankly, Paisley, Rafa Benitez, Klopp and the 2026 handover from Arne Slot to Andoni Iraola. Difficulty is graded easy to hard, so you can warm up on which club Salah joined from before the quiz starts asking who scored the winner in the 1981 final in Paris.
Every question comes with a short explained answer, so a miss still teaches you something — why the 1984 final was won on penalties in Roma's own stadium, or how three goals in six second-half minutes turned Istanbul. Play the sample set below for free, straight in your browser, no sign-up. When you want more, the full Liverpool quiz lives in the Ball IQ app, alongside the daily challenge and multiplayer.
