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:
“What you don’t understand is that it is possible to be an atheist, it is possible not to know if God exists or why He should, and yet to believe that man does not live in a state of nature but in history, and that history as we know it now began with Christ, it was founded by Him on the Gospels.”
—Boris Pasternak (1890–1960)
“The greatest honor history can bestow is that of peacemaker.”
—Richard M. Nixon (1913–1995)
“History ... is, indeed, little more than the register of the crimes, follies, and misfortunes of mankind.
But what experience and history teach is this—that peoples and governments have never learned anything from history, or acted on principles deduced from it.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
