The Spion Kop Anfield

"I'll meet you in the middle level with the red post at 2"  :) Memories. Thanks.

I stood on the Kop with my Dad on the last game against Norwich. Shame we lost 1-0 but ah well. This is boss, thanks for uploading it.

I miss the old Kop. Climbing those steps, getting the smell of freshly cut grass and ten when you reach the top, the stand comes into view and then the pitch. Great feelinh.

Great video. It's a historical document, thanks for sharing.

Meet up by the flagpole. Over to The Park, or The Albert for a few bevvies, then inside for the game. 3/4 way down, just to the left of the right hand column. Used to love getting to the top of the steps & the first view of the pitch, always set my heart racing. Happy days. Nice vid mate.

80,81,82 I stood on the kop every home game...I'm proud to be a part of Anfield at that great time and I'm proud to meet lots of kopites who was the most decent football fans I have ever met, I'm still trying years on to educate people in my home town of Nottingham about the wonderful loyal fans and how football in Liverpool matters.. they don't get it still..... thanks for the upload.. god bless 96 never forgotten here.

brought a little tear to me eye that. superb video mate. stood on there from 84 - 94 aged 7 to 17. has its moments now an again but its never been the same since.

I miss the old Kop but, things move on, we have a great stadium now. How prophetic to go to the Centenary Stand (now Sir KD) and say “this is how it’s going to look, not a patch on the old Kop” how true. Thanks for the upload 👍

my dad worked on the turnstiles from 1992 to 1994, I never got to see a match in the kop, my only time standing in it was when I was 8 after hilsborough to lay flowers for some lady who was too upset to enter the ground, so me and my dad took them in. This is a cherished piece of footage.

Fantastic, don't you just love it that you got in like that...not a hope in hell of that happening now. Thanks for posting.

Thanks for sharing this video, I was lucky my older bro took me to game on the kop in the late 80's and early 90's and I will always be great full for him for that. When they destroyed the standing KOP to make it all seater Anfield lost its soul forever and has only reared its head on the odd occasion since. When football was privatised with the invention of the premiership we sold our soul to modern football and the local working class who once made the kop intimidating is now replaced with clueless middle class half n half tourists with bags of club shop merchandise who wouldn't say boo to a ghost. Anfield has not been the same since or ever will be with modern football.

First time on the Kop - Jan 1981. Liverpool's long unbeaten record ended by..... Leicester City! They got the 'double' over Liverpool that season and still got relegated! Saw the second leg Lg cup semi 1981 against Man City - that was tense. Last(ish?) home game against Sunderland that season. Loads of mackems. Think little Stan Cummins got the winner. Loads of trouble after the game in and around Stanley park. Only European night I went to was against Oulu Palosouro - a day or two after Shankly had passed away. A very sombre occasion on the Kop that evening. I was 15 and basically ran away from home (West Mids) to go to that match. The supporters club I was a member with ran just a minibus for that game. Old man was not happy when I got home past midnight. I was grounded for a month but even then I knew it was a game I had to be at. A few weeks later the visit of Man U. I remember me and my mate getting on to the Kop early (as we always did after a bag of chips - 15 yrs old, weren't ready for the pub yet!) We noticed a crowd of about 40 or 50 skulking around just inside (we always used the Kemlyn Rd corner entrance) - it was pretty obvious they were manc but weren't ready to make it known. Some kids at the top of the stairs were waiting their moment and when the mancs started chanting and came up they grabbed a tea urn from the tea bar and lobbed it down! It briefly halted them but they still came up. They didn't really know what to do when they emerged and got fairly scattered and slapped before seeking 'refuge' tightly huddled on the 'balcony' where they stayed (very quietly) for the whole game, Saw Glenn Hoddles glorious volley to put Spurs 1-0 up in May 1982 before the reds turned it around to claim the title. Witnessed Kevin Keegan's return to English football around that time with Southampton. Saw Graeme Sharp's volley into the Anfield Rd end goal in 1984. Saw a few more games up until around 1986 - All from the Kop. And altho I don't follow Liverpool anymore (I now properly support my home town club) I'll (hopefully) never forget those experiences. It goes without saying they will be amongst the greatest footballing memories I treasure (along with the Wembley visits, that 1981 Lg cup final replay at Villa Park, away at OT 1983, 1985, Stamford Bridge 1986) It really was a privilege to have stood on the Kop back in the '80's.

Brilliant video, thanks for posting!

I was hoping to see myself on that footage i worked at anfield for about 10 years on the lower centenary stand but that day i got in early with my mate and was put on the kop tp work there for the day so like you we had a little walk around for about 2 hours before they opened the gates thankfully we photographed all around the place

Me and about 6 mates didn't want to take the chance on not getting a ticket for the Darby one year, I know it was only about 80p to get in but we were only about 10/11, we walked up to anfield about 4 in the morning and bunked over the right hand side wall, knocking the glass in cement off, we hid under the corrugated thing in the middle and sat on all the rubble, just before kick off we jumped down the little alleyways and scattered, I got caught by the steward by the scruff of the neck, as he's leading me to the exit gate he asked me how we all got in, so I told him and what time we hid there, he let me go back in and told me not to do it a gain, happy times

those were the days my friend we took the stretford end we took the shed the north bank Highbury etc etc now we have a kop full of wools ,,pissed up paddys & our norwegion following all getting off on singing that cursed song the fields of a Anfield rd,,,,,well in my opinion as i said to patto & Tuddy and the rest of the old crew in the Albert we wont win the title as long as we sing the cursed song getn back to your vid Billy thanks for sharing,,,,as a now 60+ annie rd ender,,those were the days my friend

That makes me very sad, I loved standing on the kop.

brilliant video... ynwa

Went in to the boy's pen in 1970 then to the kop in 1972 great days
