THE 6-2 thrashing of Spurs in May 1993 was memorable for more than being the day we thought Graeme Souness was being sacked, it was also the first of The Kop flag days. And The Kop were celebrating both events.For the first time in my life a Liverpool manager had lost the support of the fans on the terraces. It was nothing to do with results. A little over a year previously Souness had been paid by The Sun for an exclusive feature. They splashed a photo of the manager – who was recuperating after heart surgery – embracing his girlfriend. ‘LOVERPOOL’ screamed the headline. It was unforgivable and all vestiges of sympathy and support for a poorly performing manager disappeared.

As rumours of Souness’s sacking rippled around the city – he’d said he wouldn’t attend the game as he was ‘scouting’ – the stage was set for an end of season party.The Kop flag days were an attempt to galvanise traditional terrace support before Anfield became all-seater. The impending Taylor Report-driven abolishment of terraces had seen supporters up and down the land meekly resigning themselves to becoming merely spectators.The Kop – buoyed by the prospect of Mr Loverpool getting the boot – worked themselves up into a frenzy. It was party time. The grand old terrace was buzzing and covered in banners.The Kop bounced, Ian Rush scored his 300th goal for the club, Tottenham were walloped and Bruce Grobbelaar saved a last-minute penalty. With a new manager and support like this, we thought, it wouldn’t be long before number 19 came along.
“I tell you what”, one beaming Kopite said as we piled into The Albert for celebratory beers, “It won’t be 26 fucking years before we win the league again!”
