Anfield Road
Anfield was built in 1884 on land adjacent to Stanley Park. It was originally used by
Everton before the club moved to Goodison Park after a dispute over rent with
Anfield owner John Houlding. Left with an empty ground, Houlding founded
Liverpool in 1892 and the club has played at Anfield ever since.
Famous Kop- The Kop was built in 1906 due to the high turnout for matches and
was called the Oakfield Road Embankment initially. Its first game was on the 1st of
September 1906 when the home side beat Stoke City 1–0. In 1906 the banked
stand at one end of the ground was formally renamed the Spion Kop after a hill in
KwaZulu- Natal. The hill was the site of the Battle of Spion Kop in the Second Boer
War, where over 300 men of the Lancashire Regiment died, many of them from
Liverpool and today this stand has taught the others to sing.
