It doesn't matter whether you are a season ticket holder of 50 years or only just started going to your first games, once the magic of Anfield takes a hold of you, there's no going back.
Every supporter has their own different story. It could be fixation with the swaying Spion Kop of the 1980s for the first time, or witnessing a remarkable Liverpool comeback on a European night that kicked off at dusk. Maybe it is being in a happy place with friends and family, where nothing else matters. Whatever it is, to this day, Anfield remains one of the most iconic football grounds in world football and surely the most feared in the English game.
Few can boast a record of such unforgettable drama and glory in equal measure, played out in atmospheres that make your spine tingle, over so many generations. The Kop choir came to prominence in the 1960s as Bill Shankly helped turn "the biggest toilet in Liverpool" into the only place to be. But as the years have gone by, Anfield, which has always resisted the adaptation of a bowl stadium to maintain its beauty as a four-stand theatre, has come into its own on European nights under the lights. And the list of victims is endless.
