Memories of the Kop

[Pinnerred]

Eddie May's last minute header against Oldham which gave us promotion followed by almost the entire kop spilling onto the pitch.
Less happy, those games in 1977 against Brighton, Palace and Mansfield watched from the kop. In particular, I'll never forget a young Mansfield girl happily spitting down onto Wrexham fans from the Busfield stand.

Readings goalkeeeper, Peter Van der kwaak, failing to trap a back pass and the ball dribbled into the net, the kop responding with “Quack Quack oops”, the place was in hysterics.

Brian Flynn’s 40 yard bullet shot, hitting the back of the net, forget who against.

The crush barrier that was outside the toilets, near the turnstiles at Crispin Lane.

Boston game. The last time it was in its full glory.

April 1982 Wrexham v Leicester. The result a 0 - 0 where Wrexham needed the win desperately. Mark Wallington in goal for Leicester..can’t remember who it was that rattled the bar. Never forget the disappointment though watching that bar rattle, directly behind the goal in the kop. Wallington was superb for Leicester and we got relegated. Being behind the goal when Jim Steel scored against Porto, Kieran Durkans volley against Ipswich and Of course the Arsenal match. Remember when the fences went up.

Blyth Spartans when Dixie scored and the kop weren’t sure if he’d scored.
Hearing ‘get your **** out for the lads’ for the first time!
Watching the 5,000 become 250 when it rained and everyone dived under the Busfield stand
Watching a Graham Whittle thunderbolt hit the net. Thank God the net was there.
Watching Eddie May square up to a guy who was giving him grief. Against Oldham I think!
They are still looking for the bloke!!

OMG happy days. Ran from the kop to the yale when they opened the gates early to get a better view and the corner flag did us a favour (Blyth Spartans). Only 11 at the time. Darracott even though sent off put Blissett to bed for the rest of the game.

The Mike Williams testimonial game v Chester . Couple of Chester fans on the kop and you probably know the rest ….

Being jam packed against West Ham in 1992. Kids being lifted out over the front for safety .

Kop cheering David James , normally the then Liverpool first choice keeper afte saving a penalty against Liverpool !
