In April 1964, something important happened in the world of football fans. Liverpool was about to win a big championship, and the BBC’s Panorama show visited Anfield to film a game against Arsenal. The cameras were there to capture something special that most people in Britain hadn’t seen before.
John Morgan, a reporter, was in attendance and talked mainly about the fans.
“I’ve never seen anything like this Liverpool crowd,” he said.

“An anthropologist studying this Kop crowd would be introduced into as rich and mystifying a popular culture as in any South Sea island. Their rhythmic swaying is an elaborate and organized ritual,” he added.
“The 28,000 people on the Kop itself begin singing together. They seem to know intuitively when to begin. Throughout the match, they invent new words, usually within the framework of old Liverpool songs to express adulatory, cruel, or bawdy comments about the players or the police. But even then they begin singing these new words with one immediate, huge voice. They seem mysteriously to be in touch with one another, with Whacker, the spirit of Scouse,” he further added.
