Well,
the title rather suggests football. A bit of searching for "28 december" + "1893" + "football" turns up a match between Crewe Alexandra and Liverpool, and the team name lengths check out. Further searching strongly suggests that all the @-teams are Liverpool, and this makes it not too difficult to complete the table (the only brief obstacle being that one of the games, I think unlike all the others, was played in the FA Cup rather than in the leagues).
So we complete the table to get
4 $ Crewe Alexandra 0-5 Liverpool (28-Dec-1893)
6 ^ Everton 0-5 Liverpool (06-Nov-1982)
3 £ Coventry City 1-6 Liverpool (05-May-1990)
5 % Crystal Palace 1-6 Liverpool (20-Aug-1994)
9 ( Manchester City 0-1 Liverpool (26-Nov-2005).
1 ! Birmingham City 0-7 Liverpool (21-Mar-2006).
- - Sheffield United 1-1 Liverpool (19-Aug-2006).
7 & Fulham 0-2 Liverpool (19-Apr-2008).
0 ) Manchester United 1-4 Liverpool (14-Mar-2009).
2 " Chelsea 1-1 Liverpool (11-Nov-2012)
8 * Leicester City 1-2 Liverpool (01-Sep-2018)
where
the prefixes indicate the number-key on a UK computer keyboard (the appropriate type of computer keyboard, given the theme) where the symbol used to represent the opposing team name may be found. (Except for "-" which is found to the right of 0 and isn't a number-key.) And the numbers between the team names indicate their scores.
Now
it's natural to arrange these in order of key position, which also turns out to be in alphabetical order by non-Liverpool team name
thus:
1 ! Birmingham City 0-7 Liverpool (21-Mar-2006).
2 " Chelsea 1-1 Liverpool (11-Nov-2012)
3 £ Coventry City 1-6 Liverpool (05-May-1990)
4 $ Crewe Alexandra 0-5 Liverpool (28-Dec-1893)
5 % Crystal Palace 1-6 Liverpool (20-Aug-1994)
6 ^ Everton 0-5 Liverpool (06-Nov-1982)
7 & Fulham 0-2 Liverpool (19-Apr-2008).
8 * Leicester City 1-2 Liverpool (01-Sep-2018)
9 ( Manchester City 0-1 Liverpool (26-Nov-2005).
0 ) Manchester United 1-4 Liverpool (14-Mar-2009).
- Sheffield United 1-1 Liverpool (19-Aug-2006).
Well, now, what about
those scores? Are they maybe indexes into the names? Doesn't look like it. All the left-hand digits are 0 or 1, so maybe these are 2-digit decimal numbers. Are those indexes into the names? Nope. A1Z26 perhaps? That gives GKPEPEBLANK and, aha, there is a footballer (who, yes, has played for Liverpool FC) called Pepe Reina. (Why GK? Because he is a goalkeeper.)
So our final answer is
REINA.
One thing I was puzzled by but forgot about when writing up the answer:
why do some but not all of the lines end with "."? Daniel S, in comments, says that those are the games in which Reina played; I haven't checked this but it seems plausible enough. I remain puzzled by one thing: Stiv says in comments that the explanation of the "."s clarifies why the title is "Life Goals" but if this is the correct explanation I don't really see how it does so.
