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.!!!
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 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 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 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 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.
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
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:)
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.

Cant believe how good matches used to look, not even arsed if its a liverpool vid!! We need the days back when EVERY club of a decent size had a chance to win a trophy
@@cc69ist I used to live and work in the city centre and in the outlying regions. I can assure you I do get it! Most people in those areas supported Everton.There were scarves in windows. Posters in offices. Various other stuff. It was the same in Manchester with City when I lived and worked there also. I didn't expect to see that. Most season ticket holders in Liverpool and Manchester United come from outside the city. Glory hunters! Where are you from btw?
They were truly great days,when football belonged to The Communities. We would also travel to Ibrox on a service bus leaving at 9.30pm Fri and getting into Glasgow @ 7.30am Sat many a great time in Brigton and The Mermaid.Then onto The Station Bar Dalmarnock that's if Pastor Jack didn't have a Demonstration planned.There are so many memories of Liverpool and Rangers.
i envy those people so much for having experienced such a wonderful era of football. and i find it a bit ironic that most of the people, who nowadays try to take every piece of freedom from the ordinary football fan were teenagers back then and most certainly enjoyed all the freedom they now try to take from us.
Its scenes like that which make Liverpool Special & the greatest club in British History, Man Utd will never have anything like it, NEVER NEVER NEVER. True Scouser
The Gladiators enter in the Arena...Arena Spectacle was a Roman invention,Amphitheater was a Roman invention...the Romans invented the crowds support! S.P.Q.R. Ultras Roma
In Scotland and Northern Ireland all the clubs held their scarves above and sang and swayed.The difference being, the swaying was safe. In Scotland the policy was to keep the passages clear and not allow a dangerous sway leading to a collapse and crushing. In Scotland from the 1950s up to the 1990s had 700 police for an old firm game. At all Scottish grounds it was between 250 and 400 or more when Rangers or Celtic were visiting. At all grounds the pitch was patrolled by an inner and outer ring of police who walked halfway in each direction and then back the whole game. The inner patrol stopped for last 15 mins and faced the crowd. Down in england a game at Wembley in the 50s and 60s only had 30 police in the ground the exception being the biannual England v Scotland game with official allocation of 29,500 tickets . In the 1960s England were outnumbered badly a few times with between 10 and 15,000 home fans. The one time the old firm were united was at Ibrox in the early sixties in the 85,000 crowd (day time limit) (evening limit 80,000.) The police that were in the crowd tried to get a fan to come down from the top of a girder in the Derry,( at Parkhead Celtic's ground the area is called the Jungle) which is strange as they call the ground Paradise)The police forced a circle around the girder: when the man came down the Rangers fans moved in stopping the arrest. Some of the reinforcements who stood in the four corners of the stadium were marching along to the whistling and miming of flutes to the theme of Z - Cars, the supporters of both clubs as one started singing the polis is a hun the polis is the hun awe aye mah daddio the polis is rah hun. originally z cars was to be set and filmed in Glasgow. Our city council said glasgow did not need anymore focus on our violence and slums Glasgow had the worst slums in Europe, Naples had the second worst slums. In scotland about 95% of people rented their houses until maggie the hatchet. There used to be a lot of shops along London rd, Gallowgate and Calton where one wall was covered in rangers and Linfield of Belfast in records( vinyl music, singles, e ps. and l ps.The other wall was celtic Shamrock Rovers of Dublin.+ orange, loyalist, hibernian and republican music. In the early 1960s some English football clubs tried to market the the football songs but were told they had been copyright since 1950s and early 60s. When the empire exhibition and coronation cups were played in glasgow the press ,media and commentators were amazed at the display of banners, flags, scarves. The banners were banned after the 1953 Glasgow Celtic v Hibernian from Edinburgh coronation cup final.p s Edinburgh is forerunner of the skyscraper. From the 1500s they were the tallest city in the world with buildings 11 stories high. They had one very old one of 15 stories it was demolished in the early 1960s. The first modern sky scraper was 10 stories high in Chicago::Greenock Townhall tower was built before theLiver Building and is slightly smaller than the liver tTowers glasgow had and still has old buildings up 12 stories. Meadowside granary demolished in 1970s was 15 stories Green Playhouse at14stories Largest cinema in Europe became the .Apollo, also demolished.Glasgow had the worlds first stadium that was made purely for football. Glasgow had the 3 largest stadiums in the world, hampden, ibrox, parkhead and hampden number 2 cathkin home of defunct Third Lanark (called afte 3rd lanark rifle regiment) a debt for a new stand.spelled the end in 1963. The stadium is a public park,old parts of the terracing and crush barriers can still be seen.There is a photo of 2 policemen.trying to hold the fans back behind gates how nobody was killed is a miracle. It was the 1st game of the season1961/62 with over 50,000 in side and 30,000 outside . Queens Park were the worlds first super club. Rangers ,Celtic and Liinfield were global long before any one else. Rangers followed by celtic had the biggest and best organised supporters clubs in uk. Up until 1964 the ferries from Belfast and Dublin sailed in to the centre of the city full of old firm fans police sailed with them to keep fans apart. The berth was about 500yards from 2 main line rail terminals and 2 bus stations and just under a mile for the other 2 rail terminals and 2 bus stations. The Belfast Telegraph had its' own private telephone at ibrox and parkhead. . At belfast airport there was a dyed in the wool rangers supporter called Bob Moffat who let everyone know about rangers. He had a pub called The 4 Step Inn. In June1962 rangers arrived back at the airport on a tues afternoon around 4.00pm after a Russian tour, to be met by between 10 and 15,000 fans as an Icelandair plane was landing and they swarming all over the runway and in the opposite direction from the nearby docks( this was the old airport long gone same as the docks) The surrounded the plane after team got on the bus, they were lead through the airport and streets byThe Glasgow Rangers Accordion Band . When celtic won the European cup in1967 as the whistle sounded for the end of the game, The late great Kenneth Wolstenholme, shouted! Don't go to the airport as fans vaulted the barrier and mote and on to the pitch. There are photos of rangers fans walking on a main shopping rd singing and waving flags and banners and scarves on a tuesday afternoon in Wolverhampton for a european.cup winners cup semi final 2nd leg 1961? Rangers had 12,000 fans The first leg at ibrox the glasgow rangers accordion band from Govan, Glasgow, Ibrox is part of Govan.the band is male and female of all ages. Just one of the many loyalist and republican accordion and flute bands in Govan alone who play in Northern Ireland and the Irish Republic demonstrations. The band led the 80,000 crowd before the game and at halftime. In 1962 ? Spurs v rangers 1st leg 1/4 final? Rangers asked for 30,000 tickets:spurs obliged with 3,000. The many rangers supporters in the UK, had ticket raids where a lot of members were sent to join and rejoin Qs and get as many as possible + contact as many relatives and friends in England to try and get tickets. Rangers had a following of 15,000 in the 58,000 crowd . There is a photo of the fans walking along Euston Rd.just like they did at Wolverhampton. The 2nd leg at ibrox had 80 000. A super spurs side won 5-2 at White Hart Lane and 3-2 Ibrox 8-4 aggregate . The game at spurs was closer than it appears. The spurs goals came early from corners. Rangers made a lot of chances but were unlucky not have more goals. The Spurs team formed a guard of honour at the end of the game at ibrox and applauded them off the park, rangers had a great team then. Bill Nicholson the spurs' manager called the draw , the match of century, he was right it was. Celtic v liverp.ool1966 80,000 Ken Wolstenholme said the atmosphere at parkhead before k o was incredible like ibrox Celtic fans did the same rangers and boosted the 3,000 alllocation to 10,000.out of 56 , 000 Celtic fans taunted the Kop at Anfield . Ibrox 1968 v Leeds Utd 80.000. 3,000 ticket r Elalnd Rd. 20,000 out of 53,000 + 46,000 at ibrox watching on giant screens Leeds v celtic 3,000 tickets 15,000 fans out of 53,000 celtic v v leeds at hampden 137,000 a record for any european game surpassing the record 1960 real Madrid v eintracht frankfurt final of 127,000 which was 99% scottish.

@@bobbygillespie6555 The original idea for the series arose from a book written by Detective Sergeant Bill Prendergast of the Liverpool City Police. His book described his experiences as a detective working the hard-bitten post-war environment of Liverpool. 'Newtown" was in fact Kirkby, an overspill estate 10 miles east of Liverpool. Some local names such as the East Lancs Road remained whilst others like Seaforth were changed into Seaport, though the majority knew where the series was set. Kirkby was under the jurisdiction of the Lancashire Constabulary**
@@cc69ist Thank you for pointing this out; it must have been, paper talk( fake news) or, i dreamt it. The only Scottish connections, were an actor and a screen writer.
The image of the laughing policeman walking by with the Kop roaring behind him is something that will stay with me for ever. It isn't part of this vid however. YNWA - Celitic & Liverpool FOREVER Justice for the 96.
I was in that crowd as an 11 yr old. LFC paraded a cardboard red and white mock up trophy cause they won the league early and had to wait for the real silver to be awarded.
Even in the early 80s the atmosphere was stunning. Now it's piss-poor and I won't spend 25 quid to be bored. I would encourage others to stop going and stop paying the wages of foreign prima-donnas.
it was shite in the 80s (we were too spoilt) better now when the whole ground goes on big games. I was there in late 60s/70s and they were the special days.

YNWA
Collar and tie sadly missing from football today. How standards have slipped.
We Love you Liverpool till the die we die!!!
I saw my Grandad, dad & uncle in the kop there.
When football belonged to the working class not the corporates
United and city fans outside "theyve got speakers on"
Brilliant ⚽️❤️
Liverpool; where "football culture" begun. Giv' me a bloody time machine
At that time so was Everton.
@@steffanhoffmann8937 no
@@steffanhoffmann8937 No one is really bothered about Everton Steffan, you don't seem to get it do you.
@@cc69ist I used to live and work in the city centre and in the outlying regions. I can assure you I do get it!
Most people in those areas supported Everton.There were scarves in windows. Posters in offices. Various other stuff.
It was the same in Manchester with City when I lived and worked there also. I didn't expect to see that.
Most season ticket holders in Liverpool and Manchester United come from outside the city. Glory hunters!
Where are you from btw?
@@essexginge9167 yes!
They were truly great days,when football belonged to The Communities.
We would also travel to Ibrox on a service bus leaving at 9.30pm Fri and getting into Glasgow @ 7.30am Sat many a great time in Brigton and The Mermaid.Then onto The Station Bar Dalmarnock that's if Pastor Jack didn't have a Demonstration planned.There are so many memories of Liverpool and Rangers.
i envy those people so much for having experienced such a wonderful era of football.
and i find it a bit ironic that most of the people, who nowadays try to take every piece of freedom from the ordinary football fan were teenagers back then and most certainly enjoyed all the freedom they now try to take from us.
Its scenes like that which make Liverpool Special & the greatest club in British History, Man Utd will never have anything like it, NEVER NEVER NEVER. True Scouser
The Gladiators enter in the Arena...Arena Spectacle was a Roman invention,Amphitheater was a Roman invention...the Romans invented the crowds support!
S.P.Q.R.

Sensacional!
3:44 - Me when my team actually manage to put 2 passes together.
Liverpool invented everything :)
Not quite. Evertonians were the same at that time
In Scotland and Northern Ireland all the clubs held their scarves above and sang and swayed.The difference being, the swaying was safe. In Scotland the policy was to keep the passages clear and not allow a dangerous sway leading to a collapse and crushing. In Scotland from the 1950s up to the 1990s had 700 police for an old firm game. At all Scottish grounds it was between 250 and 400 or more when Rangers or Celtic were visiting. At all grounds the pitch was patrolled by an inner and outer ring of police who walked halfway in each direction and then back the whole game. The inner patrol stopped for last 15 mins and faced the crowd. Down in england a game at Wembley in the 50s and 60s only had 30 police in the ground the exception being the biannual England v Scotland game with official allocation of 29,500 tickets
. In the 1960s England were outnumbered badly a few times with between 10 and 15,000 home fans. The one time the old firm were united was at Ibrox in the early sixties in the 85,000 crowd (day time limit) (evening limit 80,000.)
The police that were in the crowd tried to get a fan to come down from the top of a girder in the Derry,( at Parkhead Celtic's ground the area is called the Jungle) which is strange as they call the ground Paradise)The police forced a circle around the girder: when the man came down the Rangers fans moved in stopping the arrest. Some of the reinforcements who stood in the four corners of the stadium were marching along to the whistling and miming of flutes to the theme of Z - Cars, the supporters of both clubs as one started singing the polis is a hun the polis is the hun awe aye mah daddio the polis is rah hun. originally z cars was to be set and filmed in Glasgow. Our city council said glasgow did not need anymore focus on our violence and slums Glasgow had the worst slums in Europe, Naples had the second worst slums. In scotland about 95% of people rented their houses until maggie the hatchet. There used to be a lot of shops along London rd, Gallowgate and Calton where one wall was covered in rangers and Linfield of Belfast in records( vinyl music, singles, e ps. and l ps.The other wall was celtic Shamrock Rovers of Dublin.+ orange, loyalist, hibernian and republican music.
In the early 1960s some English football clubs tried to market the the football songs but were told they had been copyright since 1950s and early 60s. When the empire exhibition and coronation cups were played in glasgow the press ,media and commentators were amazed at the display of banners, flags, scarves. The banners were banned after the 1953 Glasgow Celtic v Hibernian from Edinburgh coronation cup final.p s Edinburgh is forerunner of the skyscraper. From the 1500s they were the tallest city in the world with buildings 11 stories high. They had one very old one of 15 stories it was demolished in the early 1960s. The first modern sky scraper was 10 stories high in Chicago::Greenock Townhall tower was built before theLiver Building and is slightly smaller than the liver tTowers glasgow had and still has old buildings up 12 stories. Meadowside granary demolished in 1970s was 15 stories Green Playhouse at14stories Largest cinema in Europe became the .Apollo, also demolished.Glasgow had the worlds first stadium that was made purely for football. Glasgow had the 3 largest stadiums in the world, hampden, ibrox, parkhead and hampden number 2 cathkin home of defunct Third Lanark (called afte 3rd lanark rifle regiment) a debt for a new stand.spelled the end in 1963. The stadium is a public park,old parts of the terracing and crush barriers can still be seen.There is a photo of 2 policemen.trying to hold the fans back behind gates how nobody was killed is a miracle. It was the 1st game of the season1961/62 with over 50,000 in side and 30,000 outside . Queens Park were the worlds first super club.
Rangers ,Celtic and Liinfield were global long before any one else. Rangers followed by celtic had the biggest and best organised supporters clubs in uk.
Up until 1964 the ferries from Belfast and Dublin sailed in to the centre of the city full of old firm fans police sailed with them to keep fans apart. The berth was about 500yards from 2 main line rail terminals and 2 bus stations and just under a mile for the other 2 rail terminals and 2 bus stations. The Belfast Telegraph had its' own private telephone at ibrox and parkhead. .
At belfast airport there was a dyed in the wool rangers supporter called Bob Moffat who let everyone know about rangers. He had a pub called The 4 Step Inn. In June1962 rangers arrived back at the airport on a tues afternoon around 4.00pm after a Russian tour, to be met by between 10 and 15,000 fans as an Icelandair plane was landing and they swarming all over the runway and in the opposite direction from the nearby docks( this was the old airport long gone same as the docks)
The surrounded the plane after team got on the bus, they were lead through the airport and streets byThe Glasgow Rangers Accordion Band .
When celtic won the European cup in1967 as the whistle sounded for the end of the game, The late great Kenneth Wolstenholme, shouted! Don't go to the airport as fans vaulted the barrier and mote and on to the pitch. There are photos of rangers fans walking on a main shopping rd singing and waving flags and banners and scarves on a tuesday afternoon in Wolverhampton for a european.cup winners cup semi final 2nd leg 1961? Rangers had 12,000 fans
The first leg at ibrox the glasgow rangers accordion band from Govan, Glasgow, Ibrox is part of Govan.the band is male and female of all ages. Just one of the many loyalist and republican accordion and flute bands in Govan alone who play in Northern Ireland and the Irish Republic demonstrations. The band led the 80,000 crowd before the game and at halftime. In 1962 ? Spurs v rangers 1st leg 1/4 final? Rangers asked for 30,000 tickets:spurs obliged with 3,000. The many rangers supporters in the UK, had ticket raids where a lot of members were sent to join and rejoin Qs and get as many as possible + contact as many relatives and friends in England to try and get tickets. Rangers had a following of 15,000 in the 58,000 crowd . There is a photo of the fans walking along Euston Rd.just like they did at Wolverhampton.
The 2nd leg at ibrox had 80 000. A super spurs side won 5-2 at White Hart Lane and 3-2 Ibrox 8-4 aggregate . The game at spurs was closer than it appears. The spurs goals came early from corners. Rangers made a lot of chances but were unlucky not have more goals. The Spurs team formed a guard of honour at the end of the game at ibrox and applauded them off the park, rangers had a great team then. Bill Nicholson the spurs' manager called the draw , the match of century, he was right it was.
Celtic v liverp.ool1966 80,000 Ken Wolstenholme said the atmosphere at parkhead before k o was incredible like ibrox
Celtic fans did the same rangers and boosted the 3,000 alllocation to 10,000.out of 56 , 000 Celtic fans taunted the Kop at Anfield . Ibrox 1968 v Leeds Utd 80.000. 3,000 ticket r Elalnd Rd. 20,000

Funny how ye watching this video am commenting about people from Liverpool being thieves
@@bobbygillespie6555 The original idea for the series arose from a book written by Detective Sergeant Bill Prendergast of the Liverpool City Police. His book described his experiences as a detective working the hard-bitten post-war environment of Liverpool. 'Newtown" was in fact Kirkby, an overspill estate 10 miles east of Liverpool. Some local names such as the East Lancs Road remained whilst others like Seaforth were changed into Seaport, though the majority knew where the series was set. Kirkby was under the jurisdiction of the Lancashire Constabulary**
@@cc69ist Thank you for pointing this out; it must have been, paper talk( fake news) or, i dreamt it. The only Scottish connections, were an actor and a screen writer.
The image of the laughing policeman walking by with the Kop roaring behind him is something that will stay with me for ever. It isn't part of this vid however.
YNWA - Celitic & Liverpool FOREVER
Justice for the 96.
The road end , united , will never be defeated !
Awesome!!!
Awe-Inspiring!
wish the kop was like that now :(
some bad fuckin nhs bins in there la, a good few mop tops tho, is right kidders
I was in that crowd as an 11 yr old.
LFC paraded a cardboard red and white mock up trophy cause they won the league early and had to wait for the real silver to be awarded.
lol at the old man at 0.45 - "Oh f**k off" and Michael McIntyre in the top right at 1:16
Even in the early 80s the atmosphere was stunning. Now it's piss-poor and I won't spend 25 quid to be bored. I would encourage others to stop going and stop paying the wages of foreign prima-donnas.
it was shite in the 80s (we were too spoilt) better now when the whole ground goes on big games. I was there in late 60s/70s and they were the special days.
Amazing! We are the real fans the frans that began singing and the fans that have the mancs rob our songs!
we are Liverpool FC...
only the best...
this is a great vid, cheers mate.
