Liverpool launched its official Facebook fan page on 18 May and has since gained over one million fans. The Merseyside club was quick to get its official page up and running while others were late to the party and two have still to join in the fun.
And while other clubs may have more fans on unofficial pages and groups, this is what the Premier League would look like based on Facebook fans (correct as of 27 October 2009, source: Revolution):
