is the cavern club in liverpool the original
The Cavern Club Soon after the Cavern club closed in 1973, a new Cavern club re-opened at 7 Mathew Street, later re-named the Revolution Club. In 1984, this club was taken over by Liverpool F.C. player Tommy Smith and rebuilt with bricks from the original Cavern club.[1] The new design was to resemble the original as closely as possible. This was a period of massive economic and political change in and around Liverpool and the club only survived until 1989, when it came under financial pressures and closed for 18 months.[citation needed] In 1991,[7] two friends—schoolteacher Bill Heckle and taxi driver Dave Jones—reopened it.[citation needed] They still run the club today and are now the longest-running owners in its history. The club continues to function primarily as a live music venue. The music policy varies from 1960s, 1970s, 1980s and 1990s classic pop music to indie, rock and modern chart music.[citation needed]
Liverpool F.C.–Manchester United F.C. rivalry Each club can claim historical supremacy over the other: United for their 20 league titles to Liverpool's 18 and Liverpool for being European champions five times to United's three. Manchester United have won more total trophies than Liverpool,[21][18][22][23] and they also lead the Merseysiders in so-called "major" honours as well.[24][25][26][27]
