What does this club mean for u? For me it stands for loyalty,dedication and acheiving our goals and purpose in life through determination, perseverence and hard work.

It stands as an figure of inspiration, and those awesome european nights at Anfield (like last season) send a gush of passion through my body and its the same case everytime i hear YNWA.What do we stand for? Is it just for football or is there a greater meaning to liverpool football club ?

does anyone else feel the same?

For me Liverpool football club and Anfield in particular is a piece of English Heritage! If I was tourist visiting England for the first time, I know what castle I'd go and look at, I know what fortress I'd look at first and no it's not Tower Bridge, Buckingham Palace or Windsor Castle....It'd be Anfield on a match day!

I guess the club also stands for bringing ppl together when there is so much woory and hate in the world.Which other sets of fans have unselfish ,unquestioned devotion like ours?

by **redsince2001** » Thu Apr 06, 2006 9:14 pm

i cant imagine any other bunch of fans singing in support(like ours did) just after your team got knocked out of a major competition.........4 me thats the diff. between us and other footballing clubs... i mean look at wat juve did last nite...booing their own players while we did the opposite.

I think our club and its fans hav a greater role to play in the world .

I was just thinking about posting a topic like before i logged on....spooky!

For me, Liverpool represents a legendary team that is known all over the world. We have the greatest fans and one of the worlds greatest players. Winning the Champions league was one of the proudest moments of my life and, as the song goes, you have to experience the lows before you can appreciate the highs. i'm in my mid 20's and i only just remember us winning the league....seeing my team win the greatest comp in Europe (after watching some LOW moments during the 90's) was superb and made me realise just how much LFC meant to me.

Liverpool FC is a big part of my life.

There was a study recently which said that if men loved their wives like their team, then there would be very few divorces. I agree with that.

It isn't the biggest part (family, friends), but it is massive all the same. I (rightly or wrongly) see the players as an extended family, and I will never turn my back on any of them, even if his name is Traore! I will always support Liverpool, even if we are relegated to the Conference and beyond.

To me, Liverpool FC isn't all about the trophies. It is about the way the club is respected, how it has dealt with things in the past, and what it represents now - in 2006.
We have not sold out to earn a quick fortune for some soulless fat-cat Chairman. We do not accept any cheating from our players.

We do not play under-hand tricks on the opposition. We are honest and fair in the transfer market, and despite constant abuse/digs from certain quaters, we remain dignified.

Mainly, though, I love this club because of the unity among the fans, particularly at times like Hillsborough and Heysel.
Although tragedies of such magnitude should never have been allowed to happen, the bond we share now, partly due to these events, cannot be found at any other club in the World.
We share the bad times, and we share the good. We all hope the 96 were watching on that fantastic night in May, and I dare say we all shed a tear that they could not be there humously.

What other club has such a deep connection? What other set of players are as loved, even if it is like a bog-eyed cousin with some?

Rafael Benitez - in his first season with Liverpool - went and sat in a bar full of the fans and had a drink with them. Nowhere - NOWHERE else would this have happened.

Through all the trials and tribulations, the entire essence of this club can be summed up by that simple action.
A foreign manager, who's only previous time in England on a footballing basis had been spent
a.) studying under our arch-enemy's manager, and
b.) battering our team at Anfield with his superb Valencia side, loved the fans enough to share a drink with them and have a laugh.
He has even turned-down his dream club to stay with us, because he knows it too. He knows We are Liverpool Football Club.

And we're f*cking PROUD. :bowdown

For me Liverpool is the greatest club team in the world and I have thought this since I was 4 and I am now 26, and nothing's changed I am honestly not just being byist I honestly do beleove that and also beleive Rafa beleives that as well as stated above he has chosen to stay with Liverpool as he realises they are the greatest club team and not Real Madrid.

The fans are also the greatest fans in the world - the CL Final at Half Time when the fans were singing "You'll Never Walk Alone" while their team is 3-0 down proves this, and also this years CL KO proved that.

And I have stated all the above without my family being Liverpool fans or having any influence in my footballing descisions, as I was born and bred in Scotland I do also support Dundee UTD - When I was younger and only supported my Scottish Team by this point I remember watching a Liverpool game with my Dad and feeling somehting special about them and the atmosphere they made at Anfield and thats when I knew that "Anfield truly was the Heart of Football"

For me LFC represents accomplishing seemingly impossible goals by standing together. It stands for one colour (Red, of course) uniting all people whether they are black, white, or brown, being honourable, never giving up, and people working together under the Liverbird symbol, regardless of religious, national or cultural differences.

Yeah I know, it sounds cheesy, but LFC is inspirational to me.

Hard to sum it up in words really

all of the above but most of all the unique sportsmanship of the fans-I still get goosebumps thinking about the reception we gave the Leeds team in 1969 when they won the league with a nil nil draw. That has carried on-Arsenal in 89,and the wonderful receptions given to players-notably goalkeepers of other clubs-Banks,Clemence on his return etc. Underlying the passion we have for our team is a love of the game and a respect for other teams who deserve it. Sadly the national media are not interested in these matters,only the negative which is invariably misreported anyway.

To me sport is an outlet, a pleasure, recreation, a joy. I work like a mule all week then at the weekend I want something different, something to enjoy.

Why Liverpool? For many of the reasons already stated. They try to act ethically although they're a business, they try to act like a local club despite being a worldwide brand, they aim for the sky despite representing one of the less well off areas of the country, they never give up despite constantly being put down. The fans are the icing on the cake. Even if, in a giddy mood, I sing "You'll Never Walk Alone" in my own living room, like all other Liverpool fans, I get goosebumps.

I hope Liverpool FC never changes.
