Four reasons Liverpool has some of the best fans in the world

Liverpool has some of the finest fan support of any European club team. More than 200 different fan associations exist in at least 50 different countries, according to the club. Spirit of Shankly and Reclaim the Kop are two notable organisations. The club makes the most of this backing on its summer international travels.

The Atmosphere at Anfield

It’s unusual for the opposing side to come away victorious at Anfield. This isn’t uncommon in Premier League games, but it’s especially true when Liverpool is the home team in European play. Even the most storied teams in European football may be overwhelmed by the atmosphere produced by the supporters.

Recent history is littered with favoured visitors who were sent home empty-handed, including Juventus, Chelsea, Arsenal and Real Madrid. Even while each league match has its unique atmosphere, nothing compares to the excitement and atmosphere of a European night at Anfield.

The Creativity of Their Chants

When we’re talking about the fans of Liverpool, we can say a lot of things but being boring for sure isn’t one of them.

That’s quite a compliment, albeit it doesn’t imply that the songs Liverpool supporters rewrite have the language of a Rhodes professor in the lyrics.

The Kop has been known to write songs in support of their players, such as “Fernando Torres: Liverpool’s Number Nine” and “John Arne Riise’s barnstormer.”

A few days ago, they celebrated their manager’s birthday by singing “Happy Birthday” to them.

The Celebrations

When a Liverpool player shoots, and it goes in, the crowd puts out a tremendous shout that can only be heard at Anfield. It’s not the dialect or accents (though Scouse is worth mentioning) that make the festivities so enjoyable. Instead, it’s the zeal and enthusiasm that permeate every aspect of the event.

Fans at the stadium could question the integrity of the building if a late winner (Gerrard vs Olympiacos, for example) is celebrated by the Kop end of the stadium. Age may not be on Anfield’s side because of its rich past.

You’ll Never Walk Alone

The film was seen by Gerry Marsden, who liked the song. The Liverpool native who went on to create the band Gerry and the Pacemakers released a rendition of the song in 1963. Initially used as a sports anthem at Anfield, the song has been performed worldwide.

This Rodgers and Hammerstein classic is performed before each home game and is also played intermittently throughout the games. It’s so iconic for football fans that hearing it sung by the other team’s fans gives them the chills. The song also represents the unity and passion of Liverpool’s rabid fan base.

Conclusion

Watching a clip of Liverpool supporters singing “You’ll Never Walk Alone” live from Anfield should dispel any lingering questions you may have about the validity of this allegation. The passion and excitement felt through the fans’ chants might give you the same thrills you get from playing at a UK Live Casino. Needless to say, the Kopites, as many Liverpool fans refer themselves, will keep on demonstrating their absolute loyalty to their club for the years and football competitions to come.
