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 ;-)

[@rayely66]

God bless you sir , from a SCOUSER ,thank you for the kind words

[@itchycooable]

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..'

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.

[@leonsean406]

@Charles Surette I thought it was the front gates that were sealed

[@stevecostello4278]

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.

[@trebletrunk]

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.

The second song is "Anyone Who Had a Heart" written by a genius of pop Burt Bacharach, for Cilla Black (the same of YNWA) and many others....

[@varm8878]

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'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.

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 .
