Liverpool's rivals Everton were formed in 1878 by John Houlding, a local businessman and future mayor of Liverpool.
They began playing at Anfield Road, a field rented from a brewer named John Orrell. As Everton became more established Houlding began to build football stands at Anfield Road. However, after a dispute in 1892 the club split into two groups. One group decided to move over to Goodison Park, while Houlding and a few others remained at Anfield Road, and adopted the name Liverpool Football Club. His friend John McKenna was appointed manager, and he went to Scotland to recruit players. After their first year McKenna decided it was time to apply for entrance into the Football League.
