Brian Reade
It is told through the eyes of Brian Reade, an award-winning journalist, Sunday Times best-selling author and Anfield regular for 60 years, the majority spent on the Kop where he is still a season-ticket holder. In that time he has witnessed, and written about, all the highs and lows of Britain's most successful football club.
Reade traces the Kop's history back to the South African hill it was named after and unearths astonishing parallels between that 'acre of massacre' in which Merseyside soldiers were killed and the Hillsborough Disaster almost a century later.
He explores how the Kop invented mass terrace singing in the 1960s, elevated a Broadway number into a global anthem of solidarity, inspired some of European football's greatest-ever comebacks and was at the forefront of supporter protest against exploitation.
Featuring exclusive testimonials from key players, managers and fans from the past 60 years, The Kop is the definitive celebration of one of the most revered, and feared, spectator stands in world sport.©2026 Brian Reade (P)2026 Hodder & Stoughton Limited
