'When The Kop is roaring it really is like having a twelfth man out there on the pitch. They're the best fans in the country - by miles.' Jamie Carragher

Reviews for Kop
Brilliantly compiled ...Stephen F Kelly's fascinating tribute to this mass of emotion is jest.

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.
