Football fans are set to cheer with delight as YNWA – The Official History Of Liverpool Football Club makes its return after two years.

A smash hit two years ago, the production tells stories of glories on the fields of Anfield Road, including Elisha Scott, Albert Stubbins, Billy Liddell, Kenny Dalglish, John Barnes and Steven Gerrard.

With complete access to the LFC archive and the full backing of Liverpool Football Club, writer Nicky Allt has brought together every major incident in the club's 119 year history.

Allt, who has previously seen success with stage play One Night In Istanbul, said: "The last time we did the History of The Club Show we met with brilliant reviews. Now the Club have endorsed and backed the show we are aiming to make it even better!"

The production will be staged at Liverpool's Royal Court between 7 and 27 March, before making its way to Dublin.

It is being directed by Bob Eaton, and the full cast list is yet to be confirmed.
