Im not a Liverpool fan but that is fantatstic footage, the age when the game belonged to the ordinary fan. How I wish I could go back to that era. good upload ;-)
i was there in the stands , because it was the league decider the gates had been closed for hours and the crowd needed to entertain themselves . The guy in charge of the sounds was playing mainly liverpool artists ,cilla, gerry and the beatles.They were all at the top of the charts anyway . Because the kop was happy go lucky (gonna win the league..and they won 5-0), they would take on any song and the 'sound' guy played cilla black 'cos her songs were with lots of high notes, which can be funny if listening to a crowd of working class , tipsy supporters trying to sing high notes. i think it was around about this time that they adopted 'You ll never walk alone..'
4:24-4:35 56 years ago Liverpool beat a London club with five goals and celebrated the league championship trophy in the Kop, 56 years later, Liverpool beat a London club with five goals and celebrated the league championship trophy in the Kop.....
I'm from Germany were we still have Stands, i was in Belgrade against red Star were the whole Stadium was seated but not a single person was sitting and it's pretty allright, as long as you're not really tightly fitted in or chaos breaks up i guess. But i can tell you i remember a season opener 2 years ago, it was summer, 38 degrees fahrenheit, a storm came up midgame, so we just had to stand on the stands for 20 minutes without the slightest wind or anything cooling us down, i must have sweated enough for 5 jerseys that day. But being in the stands really is smth different.
leon sean Leppings Lane was essentially a pen, closed on 3 sides with access only from the rear. When the crowd reached a critical mass (due to criminal police negligence) movement in any direction was impossible as the pressure grew from the rear. If Leppings Lane had been an open stand there would have been much more leeway for sideways movement to escape the crush from the rear.
Support Man United love the Old days great footage of the Kop end the Stretford end used to give them a good run for their money.Bring back the terraces more atmosphere.!!!
I get your point, but the frightening aspect wasn't the words to the song, it was the sheer sound of people singing in complete unison, the swaying that you could see in the Kop, etc. If you're playing against Liverpool, and you were to walk out onto the pitch.... to see and hear that going on would make the nerves come on, no doubt.
I was there later in 1973 as an 18 year old when Mr. Shankly walked towards The Kop with a scarf wrapped around his neck a young lad had given him. I stood in amongst 23,500 Scouse fanatics and it was a day I shall never forget. Bill was special, so special and a gentleman too. This video footage is great but where did they get that twat of a BBC presenter from? A rugby fan if ever there was one? God Bless The Kop and the city of Liverpool that was back then.
@Stephen Burn Stephen, all BBC presenters were the same in those days (as in same accent, they didn't employ any other type). Give him his due though he didn't make any derogatory remarks about us; unlike the biased, "entitled" presenters of today, who bring their personal biased "digs" into the conversation.
I would’ve loved to go a game in this era it must’ve been amazing. I still feel lucky enough that I was at the last ever standing game on the Kop even though I was only 8.
MrZenigata73 Sorry to be pedantic but Burt Bacharach wrote it for Dionne Warwick, then it was re-recorded by Cilla Black later. Rogers and Hammerstein wrote YNWA for the musical Carousel in the 1940’s. Gerry & The Pacemakers recorded their version of the song in the ‘60’s which The Kop then adopted as our anthem.
I remember first seeing this when I was a kid many years ago, and even then I thought "is that Stan Boardman?" In the centre of the Kop shot when they're singing "She loves you". I'm nearly 51 and I STILL don't know!!!
I've stood on terraces all over the country, including an incognito appearance on The Kop (I'm a Newcastle supporter) The Kop was brilliant but so were loads of others. South Bank at Wolves, Villa's Holte End to name only two. Different times. It could be very dangerous even without the hooligan aspect. I stood on Spurs' away terrace with thousands of Newcastle fans for a cup tie. Way too many people in there. How somebody didn't die was just down to sheer good luck and a bit of quick thinking from a copper who opened the side gate when our lot started climbing over into the empty zone. Some of the best times of my life were spent on the terraces, but it wasn't all good. Brilliant footage.
This is so cool! I wish it was the same atmosphare today, like it was then. But lucky that Liverpool is the only fans as stil can sing today in England.
Nothing like that now. Similar to most of the bigger clubs with the crowd majority now corporate and tourists. Flat atmosphere. Many a local lad is priced out of the game. Real shame
Well said... the Kop is boring today always same 3 or4 songs but better away. Jamie webster needs to get involved whip up the crowd with a his repertoire
Thanks for posting this up - some great footage there. To answer norule1892: generally people dressed smarter in the sixties before flares and jeans if people were going out they put a suit and tie on (and a flat hat if you were over 40) plus the last game of the season is usually on a Sunday - so more people will have their sunday best on.
I wish I was 24 NOT "54" but...it WAS wonderful on The Terraces.Fantastic scenes. Midweek at West Ham and particularly a bigger game at Millwall with the crowd on top of the players and the pitch...Magical days,always remembered. NOW?..Sanitised shit! Though the toilets are nice:)
@@Isleofskye oh - by the way....that's not him the camera stays on 1:07 onwards, that's his brother. At 1:06 he's 3 people to the left from his brother.
My disappointment in myself is immeasurable and no words can adequately express my remorse regarding my inexcusable faux pas. I am mortified that I got to make such a Schoolboy error and I only try to crave your forgiveness for my brief moment of total complete and utter insanity in making this mistake. I have no excuses and I can only apologize, profusely, for my stupidity, once again. You are a good man for pointing this out to me. I'm inconsolable at the moment.....:(

LIVERPOOL! LIVERPOOL! SHE LOVES YOU YEAH-YEA-YEAH!
Amazing kop end nothing like that today always sing the same 3 or 4 songs boring really. What was the capacity then must be 25000 or more
Times it was 28,000 officially though I suspect there were many more on occasions like this It was still pretty much the same until the early 80’s
thrilling to see a beatles song being singed by so many liverpool fans. Great footage
"I don't know what they do to the enemy, but by God, they frighten me"

What I'd give to have been on the Kop back in those days. Looks amazing.
You're right there
it was....astonishing!
the days when you'd go the match with a tie on!
james wilson lol
How legendary the KOP was. I'm just amazed no one has been killed with all the swaying that took place.
28,000 behind that goal !
I'm from Germany were we still have Stands, i was in Belgrade against red Star were the whole Stadium was seated but not a single person was sitting and it's pretty allright, as long as you're not really tightly fitted in or chaos breaks up i guess.

@Charles Surette I thought it was the front gates that were sealed
leon sean Leppings Lane was essentially a pen, closed on 3 sides with access only from the rear. When the crowd reached a critical mass (due to criminal police negligence) movement in any direction was impossible as the pressure grew from the rear. If Leppings Lane had been an open stand there would have been much more leeway for sideways movement to escape the crush from the rear.
Standing terraces were a disaster waiting to happen but the atmosphere was unlike anything we have now
No internet booking, no vouchers, just turn up and walk through the turnstile. Simples.
dirkbogarde44 yes
Exactly how it should be. Normal man in the street should be able to walk up, pay and go in
@@SamanthaGuttesen totally agree mate. get there early, get in and have a great time. nowadays people only get there ten minutes before kickoff.
Those were the days...
Then locked out 2 hours before kick off.
amazing great video what a crowd what a city most frendly city around love from glasgow
One of my favorite videos of all time. This one always sends chills down my spine. YNWA!!!!
1st crowd to sing at football matches, thats why were special! YNWA
The heart of the players.
And the soul of the fans.
That's why I cheer for Liverpool.
amazing fans. quite iconic of when football was football. Glorious film.

Wow, 28,000 on one terrace.
That is back in the days when it was real rootball with real fans!
i'm brazilian, and i believe that liverpool fans are the best in europe.
Not one smack head the best times all good men
I would’ve loved to go a game in this era it must’ve been amazing. I still feel lucky enough that I was at the last ever standing game on the Kop even though I was only 8.
The second song is "Anyone Who Had a Heart" written by a genius of pop Burt Bacharach, for Cilla Black (the same of YNWA) and many others....
MrZenigata73 Sorry to be pedantic but Burt Bacharach wrote it for Dionne Warwick, then it was re-recorded by Cilla Black later.

Truly Iconic!!! Wow!
So proud to be a liverpool fan :)
This is the only footage of the old days that makes me which I was older ... 0:54 onwards, I'd have loved to be there for that!
I remember first seeing this when I was a kid many years ago, and even then I thought "is that Stan Boardman?" In the centre of the Kop shot when they're singing "She loves you".
I'm nearly 51 and I STILL don't know!!!
1:05 - 1:08
Yes it is him. 100% it has been mentioned many times.
you see his brother first (who is very like him) - but Stan is a couple of people to his left...

hell i remember showing this to a co-worker like 15 years ago on metacafe
The times in the kop with my cousin are some of my best memories.
And not a steward in sight
what a mint piece of football fan history. soon after this all the fans in britain were behaving in this way on the home ends of there grounds...
One of the cutest things ever. I wish when i sang a Beatles song someone could join me XD
This is so cool! I wish it was the same atmosphare today, like it was then. But lucky that Liverpool is the only fans as stil can sing today in England.
Long live the kopites! YNWA 🇦🇺🤙🙏
They should try to re introduce standing areas again I reckon in a few years.
Never get that back. The spirit you can but never be the same.
LOVE this clip! Wonderful!!
They have a surprisingly good pitch for a crowd of football fans.
Rich people sitting around in overpriced seats, chatting on their cell phones during the game, and leaving their seats to get some caffe latte
Fancy those guys are now at 70+ !!!
Liverpool celebrating its rich and diverse heritage back in the 60s.
When really big money comes to sport it will always destroy atmosphere. You all should know that truth.
love the way he says "arsenal,southners"
