Kop Quote

A tribute from Billy's grandson, Andy Liddell

"It's great to hear so much support for a true gentleman. From my point of view he was not only a football legend, but a caring grandfather. All of your wonderful stories really do paint the picture of the selfless man my grandfather was. We would travel to Liverpool every new year to see my grandparents and Billy would always take us out to Aigburth vale or Sefton park for a kick around with the ball. When I think back i realise that he always let me and my brother win, and we weren't as good as we thought we were!!

Sadly I was far to young to see him play, but have marvelled at his skill and presence on video, and heard many stories from the man himself. I was deeply touched by the number of fans who came to show their love of this great man at his funeral, and thank you all for keeping his legend alive."

What Could Slot Deliver With Another Season on Merseyside?

14 May 2026

The shadow cast by a predecessor can often be the most difficult obstacle for a new manager to overcome, especially when that predecessor happens to be the person who rebuilt the club’s modern identity. For Slot, the first year at Anfield was always going to be a case of balancing the existing tactical DNA with his own more measured, possession-heavy philosophy. 

Liverpool's World Cup Legacy: How Anfield's Finest Have Shaped the Summer Tournament

12 May 2026

From Owen to Salah, Liverpool's contributions to the World Cup have been as dramatic as the club's own storied history, and the 2026 tournament promises more of the same.

A Statistical Look at Liverpool’s Premier League Performance This Season

23 April 2026

Liverpool’s current Premier League campaign has been one of contrast, strong attacking output on one hand, and periods of inconsistency on the other. A statistical breakdown of their season reveals a team still competing at a high level, but one that has not fully matched the dominance of their strongest recent campaigns.

When Liverpool's Big Bets Paid Off (and When They Didn't)

23 April 2026

There's a reason Liverpool supporters have developed a habit of holding their breath when big news breaks. The club operates at extremes. Decisions that look questionable on announcement day end up defining trophy-winning eras, while others that seemed perfectly sensible at the time dragged the club backwards for the better part of three or four years.
