One for the soccer fans! Many football grounds in England within the English Premier League
and Soccer League have one terrace or stand of their stadia named Kop” or Spion
Kop” because of the steep nature of the terracing, essentially the most well-known after

The membership's supporters have been involved in two main tragedies: the Heysel Stadium
catastrophe , where escaping followers had been pressed in opposition to a collapsing wall at
the 1985 European Cup Ultimate in Brussels, with 39 individuals - mostly Italians and
Juventus fans - dying, after which English golf equipment were given a five-year ban from
European competitors, and the Hillsborough catastrophe in 1989, the place 96 Liverpool
supporters died in a crush in opposition to perimeter fencing.
Liverpool, too, were entitled to 15 per cent of the takings, while Everton stood to profit if their

the Kop and laid a Liverpool scarf which was my delight and joy since I used to be six years
previous, down at the grave and lit a candle….that was my tribute to the 96 fellow fans who
never returned home.
The Boer piquet retreated down the hill to their camp waking up their fellow Boers by
screaming Die Engelse is op die kop.” (The English are on the hill.). At that time a half-firm of
British sappers began to entrench their place on the hill with a mere 20 picks and 20 shovels
(oddly - whereas almost 1,000 soldiers stood around idle).
