Basically any young, promising player
Of course the Wayne Rooney's Plymouth or whoever, Frank Lampard's Derby ...those ones

I believe Bradford City was the first home end to be called Spion Kop. Thank you for the education and I stand corrected! (I actually like it when I get caught talking bollocks and someone puts me right...it means I have furthered my knowledge, and I won't repeat that bollocks again in the future! I'll doubtless still talk bollocks sometimes though, just not that particular bollocks  ) Yeah I looked it up and found that historically lots of teams had/have a Kop end or a Spion Kop. It says the first one was Woolwich Arsenal but that ground was demolished in 1915, so I'm guessing the Valley Parade one must be the oldest one still in existence today. They are named following the battle of Spion Kop, which was a horrible defeat for the British army during the Boer War. I believe it was the biggest loss of life in a single day for the British army before WW1. It left a stain on the national consciousness and many football grounds named their sloping terraces after the event. |

Schumacher is a coward
Kane is a liability
Guardiola hasn't managed Foden well
I'm right though

'They're A Breath Of Fresh Air' -
Proper winds me up when that gets used..
Usually directed in a patronising/condescending way towards 'poor' little clubs who feature once in the Prem like Blackpool or Luton!
Something someone like Carragher would come out with during Comms, or Lineker, Shearer or Murphy would use in match summarising!

I don't imagine there are any home ends in Argentina named after Goose Green. |

Anyone calling any home end the kop. It's a bit weird. It's just copying Liverpool's name for their home end, which in full is Spion Kop, which is a mountain in South Africa that it was named after. It was to commemorate a battle which took place on the Spion Kop during the Boer War and lots of teams named their end after it. Nothing to do with copying Liverpool! I know now! I researched it after someone put me straight 😅 ...well actually, I already knew the bit about the battle, but thought it was just Liverpool, cos where I read about it ages ago it was saying that's why Liverpool named their home end Spion Kop ..... they'd just failed to mention all the other clubs that did the same! Hey but now I know! |
