Today is the 100th year since the Kop have been formed. The Kop is the MOST famous group of fans in the whole world. Thats why Liverpool's Anfield is always a noisy place whenever there's a match. As i have read from the Sunday Times a few weeks ago, Liverpool has an average attendence of 40k plus plus. And is ranked in the top 5. However, Anfield can only hold 40k plus plus, therefore our stadium is always full thanks to these reds.



Here are some stories about the Kop.

My favourite was the Auxerre game in the 1991/2 season. The team was in the doldrums, we'd lost the first leg 2-0, and the ground (apart from the Kop) was half empty. What followed was one of those nights that you could never forget. Glorious comeback and the Kop roof being almost lifted off by the roars of the crowd. I went with a mate who'd never stood on the Kop before. He came out with tears in his eyes and said he couldn't believe the noise, passion and support from our fans… and he's a Chelsea fan.

Myself and 3 friends only ever stood on the Kop once and that was for the opening game of the season in 1993 when Nigel Clough scored twice on his debut against Sheffield Wednesday. Nothing special about the match, but we were just pleased that we'd had the unique experience before the seats came in. The attendance that day was particularly poignant - 44,004, and as it was our first (and last) time standing at Anfield - we considered ourselves to be the '4'!

My favorite Kop memory was when I bought tickets for my dad, brother and myself to the Olympiakos CL group stage in the 04/05 season. Liverpool had to win 3-1 in order to get though to the knockout stage after the visitors had grabbed the first goal. It was in the dying minutes of the game and Gerrard smashed in a thunder bolt. The Kop erupted and Gerrard ran to the corner where we were standing. I get cold shivers every time I hear Andy Gray commentating that vital goal… OH YOU BEAUTY!!!
