History
The Blues formed in 1993 to play in the British Australian Rules Football League. The club played only one full season, folding shortly after the 1994 home and away series began. The Blues were associated with the local Sefton Rugby Club.
A new club was later formed in 2002 in the nearby town of St Helens, known as the St Helens Miners. The club was renamed as the Northwestern Miners for the 2004 season, before they also folded.
The Liverpool Eagles were formed in late 2008, bringing the sport back to the city.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The history of modern art is also the history of the progressive loss of art’s audience. Art has increasingly become the concern of the artist and the bafflement of the public.”
—Henry Geldzahler (1935–1994)
“the future is simply nothing at all. Nothing has happened to the present by becoming past except that fresh slices of existence have been added to the total history of the world. The past is thus as real as the present.”
—Charlie Dunbar Broad (1887–1971)
“History has neither the venerableness of antiquity, nor the freshness of the modern. It does as if it would go to the beginning of things, which natural history might with reason assume to do; but consider the Universal History, and then tell us,—when did burdock and plantain sprout first?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
