Happy St Patrick's Day from Irish Kop - Official LFC Book

Mar 17 2010

In Ireland there have always been dreams and songs to sing of the glory ’round the fields of Anfield Road. A love for Liverpool FC has existed almost since the famous team first kicked a ball way back in 1892.

Over the years, great players such as Elisha Scott, Steve Heighway, Mark Lawrenson, Ronnie Whelan, Jim Beglin, John Aldridge, Ray Houghton, Steve Staunton and Steve Finnan have proudly donned the red shirt, helping to bring success to the most decorated team in English football.

Every season, thousands of loyal supporters make the pilgrimage across the Irish Sea on a regular basis to be part of the Red army at Anfield and indeed, all over Europe. From the pitch to the terraces, The Irish Kop is the story of that special relationship.

It features fresh and revealing interviews with all the biggest names who’ve worn red and green, from Heighway through to Aldridge and Whelan, right up to Champions League winner Finnan and Robbie Keane.
