What do Liverpool fans often say about KOP? Pray for the great gods.
Kop: In order to commemorate the 1900 Battle of Spion Kop, a stand named Kop was set up at Anfield. The most fanatical and loyal Red Army fans watched the ball from this stand, so Kop gradually developed into a modern Liverpool fan. KOP used to be the most famous stand in Europe and even in the world. Later, due to two tragedies, the Football Association implemented a full stand in 1994 for the safety of the stadium, and the Kop stand was overthrown that year. Usually from the TV screen, the Kop stands on the left are loyal fans with season tickets. Therefore, players often find it particularly meaningful to score goals on Kopen side (on the other side is the away stand, where visiting fans sit). The loudest song of "KOP: The King of Players" comes from the stand named KOP on the left side of the main stand, where the essence of the Liverpool team founded in 1892 is concentrated. When the stands were built at the beginning of last century, it happened that British soldiers from Liverpool and South Africa fought bloody battles and occupied a hill called KOP, so this stand was named KOP. These three letters soon became another name for Liverpool. In the museum of the club, the craziest moments in KOP decades ago were repeatedly played. At that time, there were no seats, and more than 30 thousand fans stood on it in every game. Due to overcrowding, late fans can only be lifted to the top of their heads by people who arrive early in the outer layer and "transported" to the center of the crowd. In winter, due to too much hot air exhaled, the whole stand is shrouded in a white fog. Of course, the most touching thing is the passionate singing of 30 thousand fans from beginning to end, as well as the flying flags and scarves. This scene no longer exists in today's England and even the whole world football. 1989 after the Hillsborough tragedy, the English Football Association ordered the demolition of all the stands without seats. Kop was forced to rebuild, and now it can only accommodate more than 10 thousand spectators. The passion is still there, but the spectacular scene of that year has disappeared forever. Now KOP is more of a fan of the Red Army and Liverpool. KOP slogan: You will never walk alone.
