The Kop: Liverpool's Twelfth Man by Stephen F Kelly
The Spion Kop is one of the famous, emotive and atmospheric vantage points in all of sport. Once the home of more than 25,000 swaying, singing, standing Kopites, it's seated and can hold merely half that number, but its magic remains. This title uses eyewitness testimonies from Kopites, policemen, and cleaners to trace the history of this stand.
Brilliantly compiled..Stephen F Kelly's fascinating tribute to this mass of emotion is jest. -- Henry Winter * Daily Telegraph *
Like many non-Liverpudlians I was always slightly sceptical about the kop. Was it really such a unique terrace? Stephen F Kelly's The Kop has persuaded me it was. -- Simon Inglis * Independent *
