European inventor, Tim Berners-Lee launched the first webpage ever, giving birth to the World Wide Web, a forum we now take for granted.

The Global Positioning system and Hubble Space Telescope were launched

The Hubble Space Telescope has given us glorious pictures of the universe, as Liverpool have gone on to become picture-perfect representations of the slip-up.

J.K. Rowling started writing the Harry Potter series
British author J.K. Rowling started writing the Harry Potter series in 1990. The first book was published in 1995 and the series ended with the Deathly Hallows in 2007. An entire generation born in the nineties grew up on the series, evolving as the books and characters evolved.
A generation on Merseyside has grown up in a different way, on stories of past successes without watching their club triumph in England and will be hoping for some wizardry or dark arts for their club to finally win the top flight.
