1964: LIVERPOOL FANS bring POP to the KOP | Panorama | Classic BBC Sport | BBC Archive

"It used to be thought that Welsh international rugby crowds were the most musical and passionate in the world, but I've never seen anything like this Liverpool crowd." - John Morgan.

Panorama's John Morgan reports from Anfield, where fans of Liverpool Football Club have taken to belting out not just traditional football songs, but the latest pop hits from Merseyside. On this occasion - during a 5-0 thrashing of Arsenal that won Liverpool the league championship - the Kopites deliver stirring renditions of The Beatle's hit She Loves You, and Cilla Black's version of Anyone Who Had a Heart.

What is it about Liverpool that stirs such football fervour?
