    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.

    My ex father-in-law used to tell stories about the 'Ash Bank' at Stoke. The home supporters end consisted of coal slag (or ash) from local mines, heaped into a bank and grassed over.

    Why are we putting up threads about Liverpool players?

    There must be a certain point where even Liverpool would die of embarrassment, surely.

    When all we have left is Stuart Taylor and they need a new GK.... that would be the moment

    I think it's already embarrassing for both clubs.

    I am certainly embarrassed at the actions of the Southampton board in the last 4-5 years.
