Lots of grounds have an end called 'the kop' though. Is this taken from Liverpool's Kop?

As I understand it Spion Kop refers to a hill in South Africa, made famous in the Boer War.
The football terraces were said to be similar in the way they rose, hence calling them spion kop, or Kop for short.
Whether or not Liverpool were the first to do this, so as a result have kept it as their own, I have no idea.
I mean, it’s not as if they harp on about the past, is it.

Ah I see. A look through 'footballgroundguide' old grounds will reveal plenty of Kop's.
 
The Liverpool Echo is as lazy and unimaginative as your joke of a recruiting department.

Seriously, this is beyond embarrassing now. Liverpool should just **** off, for everyone's sake.

The source is L'Equipe

Pool are signing Keita so won't need him thankfully
