When the Kop was originally opened in 1906, it was 100 concrete steps, measuring 394 feet long, 135 feet wide and 50 feet in height. In 1928, a significant expansion took place to allow for a roof and 30,000 fans to stand and watch the Reds.
The year 1959 saw the appointment of the great Bill Shankly, a few years before Anfield would undergo another makeover. Between 1963 and 1973, the Kemlyn Road Stand, now known as the Sir Kenny DalglishStand, and the Main Stand both underwent redevelopment.
The departure of Shankly saw Bob Paisleyassume the top job in 1974, where a new era of illustrious success was to follow. From the 1960s to 1990s, the Boot Room was a meeting place where the Liverpool coaching staff would meet to discuss the team, tactics and ways of defeating their next opponent.
The famous This Is Anfield sign in the stadium’s tunnel holds a special place in the club’s history. The one seen here behind Paisley was the second version to take its place and remained in place until 1998. It would not be seen until 2012 after a third version took its place, but it’s now back where it belongs – although the tunnel has certainly ...
Flagpole Corner has been an Anfield meeting point for generations of Liverpool supporters. Situated at the Walton Breck Road/Kemlyn Road junction (now the corner of the Kop and Kenny Dalglishstands), the flagpole usually sees a Liver Bird flag flying high in the sky.
In 1982, the Shankly Gates came to be. They were formally unlocked by his widow, Ness, 11 months after he passed away. They did move location following on from the Main Stand construction in 2016, moving further down Anfield Road to the entrance to the Sir Kenny DalglishStand car park.
You may notice the coloured block of seats at the Anfield Road End, this was Paisley’s doing. He watched the reserves at the ground and found the red shirts would get lost in the red seats around the stadium and felt having an array of colours would help see the players better!
In the 1991/92 season, it was time to add a second-tier onto the Kemlyn Road Stand, later known as the Centenary Stand – it officially opened in September 1992. It would later become the Sir Kenny DalglishStand. A tribute to the king.
The Kop, of course, underwent a significant change after the Taylor Report called for football stadiums’ standing terraces to be replaced with all-seater stadiums following the tragic events at Hillsborough. The 1993/94 campaign would be its last and the occasion was marked with an emotional send-off. As you can see, above, in 1996, the Kop would n...
In 1997, an upper tier would be added to the Anfield Road End in a boost to capacity. It has remained in place for over 20 years and will be expanded as part of the ongoing Anfield Road End redevelopment.
Following Liverpool FC's long-awaited return to the top-flight, the Club's directors gave the green light to an upgrade to facilities with the ground having barely changed in 35 years, aside from the introduction of floodlights in 1957.
