Paul Doyle, 54, was jailed for 21 years and six months.
He was travelling into the city centre to collect friends on May 26 when he "lost his temper" and drove his Ford Galaxy directly into supporters making their way home from the Premier League title celebrations.
Dashcam footage from the vehicle, played in court, showed the shocking moments when fans were thrown onto the bonnet of the car or fell underneath as he accelerated down Water Street, which had been closed to traffic, at about 6pm.
Paul Doyle, 54, had convictions for offences of "serious violence" between the ages of 18 and 22 but had stayed out of trouble for 30 years leading up to May 26, when he drove his Ford Galaxy into crowds in Liverpool city centre, investigators said.
They were not the first violent offences committed by Doyle, who was asked to leave the Royal Marines after convictions.
Details of his previous offences were outlined at his sentencing hearing at Liverpool Crown Court on Tuesday.
In October 1991, at the end of Doyle's 32-week training period at the Commando Training Centre in Lympstone, Devon, he had what he later described as a "scuffle" with men in a nightclub and, after he was thrown out, punched another person in the face several times.
He was convicted of a section 20 assault and fined by Exeter Magistrates' Court.
In February 1992, he was convicted of two military offences - one of using violence to a superior officer and one of conduct to the prejudice of good order and military discipline - and in July that year he was convicted of a military offence equivalent to criminal damage.
Doyle served in the military for four years, starting with the Royal Engineers before enlisting in the Marines in 1991, but did not see active service, the court heard.
He was "discharged with services no longer required" in 1993, 22 months after enlisting, Liverpool Crown Court heard.
He was said to have unsuccessfully challenged the discharge.
In November 1994 while serving with the Royal Marine Reserve, Doyle was jailed for 12 months for causing grievous bodily harm after biting off the ear of another man.
When interviewed earlier this year, Doyle said he had become involved in a drunken fight with sailors.
Following his release from prison in 1995, Doyle was said to have "taken steps to live a positive and productive life", going to university, working in positions of responsibility and having a family.
