Well put, a comprehensive list.. Their bad behaviour goes back even further. I remember the early 60s when away travel became more and more commonplace for football fans. Both Everton (on their way to winning the title) and Liverpool (newly promoted) were followed by thugs who created the template for train-wrecking of 'football specials' in the 62-63 season. They also delighted in mobbing match day programme sellers at the grounds they visited, beating them up and stealing programmes. And they began the then new trend of climbing perimeter walls en masse to get in free. Of course, copycat actions soon followed by other clubs' fans (including our own) as the 60s progressed and modern, post-war hooliganism was born and developed. But make no mistake, it was the Scousers of both tribes that kick started it all. Not, as you say, that any of it was ever their fault, of course..

In the 1955-56 season, Liverpool and Everton fans were involved in several train-wrecking incidents and by the 1960s an average of 25 hooligan incidents a year were being reported - and hooliganism as we know it had been born.
