  Just mention the name and it inspires images of colour, passion and spine-tingling excitement. This book captures forever the moments that made this unique football enclosure a sporting phenomenon. Anfield stars of past and present, managers, some of the great characters of the game and the fans themselves relive their memories and stories. First published in 2004 in celebration of the 10th anniversary of the Spion Kop's last stand, Oh I Am A Liverpudlian and I Come From The Spion Kop sold out as a hardback. This new paperback edition has been revised and updated with twice the amount of material as appeared first time around. It has been published to commemorate the 110th anniversary of the Battle of Spion Kop, which the Kop was named after. Highlights from the past five years such as the two Champions League semi-finals against Arsenal and dramatic successes against Olympiakos, Juventus, Barcelona and Inter Milan are all featured as well as new stories about the passion and humour of the old standing Kop.
