Being an oldie I knew about the reference to the Boer war having read many books about those times. Clapton Orient had a large side terrace Kop at Millfields (now long gone) and Charlton Athletic also had a side terrace one.
There was a remote house on the Kintyre Peninsula called Sion Kop. It was so odd that I actually researched it as a teenager in the 1970s. Great video.
Yes there’s quite a few places named after the battle, during researching this I found parks, schools and even a village near Mansfield called Spion Kop.
I remember going on the Kop at Deepdale as a kid and my dad telling me and my brother about how it gained its name from the Battle of Spion Kop.
Very interesting, thank you 😊
Very good unique video
Never knew that! How interesting!
The battle of Spion Kop. Didn’t even have to watch the video
Never knew the name came from that! Learn something new everyday.
I find it staggering that people support Liverpool , and don't know this already !!!!
Liverpool built there stand and couldn't think of a name for the stand. So to remember the men that died in the Spion Kop in South Africa. Which was mainly from Liverpool.
Lol I instantly got it all from when you showed a picture of what I guessed was Africa, though I thought it was more of a tribute than just a reference.
I used to wonder why our KOP was called that when I was younger thinking we'd just copied Liverpool, also wondered why ours ran along the pitch instead of where the Tilton is for example.
KOR !
Most of the people that died on the spion Kip where from Liverpool Lancashire
Interesting you spelt it 'where' was that a typo or an attempt to make it sound Scouse! 😂
Bore not Bower!
Liverpool welcomes refugees 👍
