There are few more stirring sights in football than the  Kop in full cry. This photograph was taken before Liverpool's Division One fixture with Leeds United at Anfield in April 1969. The stand was built in 1906, after Liverpool had won their second League championship, and was christened the Spion Kop by local journalist Ernest Edwards shortly afterwards. The Spion Kop is a hill in South Africa where a Liverpool regiment had suffered losses of 300 men during a battle in the Boer War in 1900. It was extended to hold 30,000 fans in 1928, with a roof also added.
