Why i fell in love with this team? That's even an enigma to me as why i supported a club that it didn't win the BPL for almost 20 years. I might as well join the typical Malaysian bandwagon supporting Manure Utd, the so called greatest club of the millenium with it's illustrious success and big publicity throughout the Asia region. So, what type of club is Liverpool? For me, it's a club that is rich in history of success with great hardcore fans that even won the hearts of Gunner's legend Thierry 'Mr. Handball' Henry and Andrei 'Russian Torpedo' ARSE-shavin. Even the SCUMS legend and our ex-hard tackling midfield captain Paul Ince said that the LFC faithful never booed their ex players.eg LFC VS Villa a few years back where our former Champions League winner Milan Baros who played for Villa at that time was going to pick up the ball near the kop end and the kop shouted 'Milan, Milan' with Baros acknowledging their voice gave a clap towards the kop end. That really bring tears to my eye. The only boos i've heard the LFC supporters gave so far was our so called 'Serial Killer' turned 'Serial Diver' El Haji Diouf and Lil' MO who turned scum this season.
The other factor was the song 'YNWA made famous by 'Gerry and the Pacemakers'. A song that will lift your hearts up and will give you goosebumps when you sing it together with your Liverpudlian mates before the game starts. No other clubs in BPL i've seen so far have this uplifting song to be played at their homeground before the game starts. The lyrics are so meaningful and could even use it our life especialy when you thought that the world is unfair where everything goes the wrong way for you eg 'Coz at the end of the storm, Is a golden sky' really means a lot as it tells you there is hope after encountering all the bad problems that accured in your life. Some cheeky Manure fans even used the YNWA acronyms and made it 'You'll Never Win Anything' that i have to admit brings a chuckle or two for the reds faithful.
The moment i saw the emergence of Toxeth Terrier aka Robbie 'God' Fowler was another factor why i supported LFC. A bright player with the attitude of a rock star due to his controversial moments such as made gay gestures towards Grame Le Saux and the famous cocaine sniffing celebration againts Everturds. A great natural finisher of the game at his prime with a sweet left foot that will guarantee to score spectacular goals.
Another player that impressed me is towards the end of 1996/97 season where a 17 year old kid who made his debut againts Wimbeldon and scored a goal as well. His name is Michael Owen. A pacy striker who uses his speed to outpace the opposition defenders to score goals. I even saw him playing for England in Singapore during friendly with their national team before the Under 17 World Cup tournament that will be held in Malaysia together with a young Carra and Danny Murphy. Too bad he made his alligence with the Devil to win the heart of Capello in giving him a spot in the England team for the World Cup at South Africa 2010.
Maybe there's more factor such as it's sponsor, Carlsberg is my favourite beer etc, well the 3 main factors above would do for now. At least i've seen them won the League Cup,F.A, EUFA Cup, Champions League Cup and even Supercup during my 13 years of support. There's joy and tears plus a bit of anger sometimes while supporting this club. Hope i can see them lift the BPL someday and that will be the day i plan to go to Anfield to watch them lift the trophy. Well, it's a high hope but as the lyric in the YNWA song it says ' Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart, And you'll never walk alone,You'll never walk alone'....
