THE LAST OF THE KOP

(30 years ago) On 1st May 1994.... "The only thing I fear is missing an open goal in front of the Kop!" said Kevin Keegan and he admitted that his eyes were beginning to water....you will remember that he is an emotional character.....do you remember his "I'd LOVE IT!" interview? 

When the Kop starts singing "You'll never walk alone",  Kevin could hardly contain himself! and even when he was playing, he had a tear in his eye. On this day in 1994, the last match was played at Anfield before the "standing" KOP was demolished and then re-built as an all seater stand.

Sadly for thousands of Liverpool fans packed into the ageing stadium, to witness the last match played there. Jeremy Goss, created an away victory for Norwich City. as he scored in front of them. Happy days!!!

The Kop was rebuilt following Lord Justice Taylor’s report into the Hillsborough Disaster.

With little to play for, but pride, the Reds hosted Norwich City, in a traditional 3pm Saturday kick-off. The sun shined on Anfield. About 16,000 supporters were packed onto the Kop to embrace the flow of the stand, one last time. At its peak, about 28,000 fans would regularly watch from that same end of the ground. Tickets for the final day of The Kop cost £4.50.
