Are they? We're family and that what makes us unique. I'm a foreigner but I love Liverpool with all my heart. I started watching (exactly listening on the british radio) Liverpool in late 90s so I did not choose Liverpool for their present success but because my father always told what a great support and family, we are!!!
My dad was a foreigner and he said the same as me, globally Liverpool fans are there to make an occasion and live in the moment, even in drought/tough times away fans are there trying their best to raise spirits, you chose the right football family, wherever you are on Earth you'll meet a Liverpool fan. Look at the way the Aussies sang YNWA for one example.
We have the luxury that we have success to build on, some great fan bases of other teams haven't got this set of memories. We hardly ever disappoint the neutral football fan so maybe that's how many became fond of us during lean spells.
The 90's! I loved them teams.
