Brilliant thread i'm sort of dreading the day the gates close at Anfield for the last time, there will be plenty of tears shed that day and i'll be one the snifflers for sure, My story goes back to 1976 when as i watched football on the tv in Scotland, back in those days we had sportscene on a saturday and Scotsport on a sunday, sportscene was a bbc production and used to concentrate mainly on the English Div 1 as it was then followed by a couple of highlighted scottish matches of that day, anyway it was when the cameras were at Anfield that i first noticed the famous Kop one Saturday night, I loved the way the crowd would sway back and forth and often wondered what happened to poor sods at the front.
As luck would have it 7yrs later i found myself on the very same wave as what i witnessed on tv when i was a 16yr old kid, of course the glamour slightly wore off when i could later smell the piss on my clothes, but did that deter me, well, no f***in way i loved it and the more i got the more i wanted, i dont get to go to Anfield these days sadly but i will carry those memories till the day i go frog up, I know its different now stadia are mostly all seater, but i would love the new Anfield to have a all standing terrace just like the old days, now would'nt that be something, after all, the Liverpool way is onits way back, the bootroom is on its way back, so why not the proper kop?
Ahh the days, a skinful in the Albert, sausage chips n gravy for lunch, a few more in the salisbury then to the kop to piss all over some buggers clothes.....if you did'nt have a paper to roll up i'm welling, i'm going.
