We were the greatest Liverpool
team to ever grace the pitch,
We really were the kings of the
Kop - and all without a glitch.
We wore the red shirt of pride -
a very proud honour -
We always played majestically,
complimenting each other.

The Anfield team really were
supreme - we were feared by
all the rest.
Every match day on the Kop -
the fans - they were the best.
The cheers from the kop - was
unlike any other,
All the family’s all did come -
and they all…’watched with
mother!’

The players too - they were
supreme - and they knew how
to pass the ball.
Tackling as they went along -
listening for the call?
Those awesome defenders -
protecting their goalkeeper,
Brilliant in their role - possibly
the saviour!

Kevin Keegan he was great,
he also played for England,
Emlyn Hughes had the blues,
they really are now legend.
Steve Heighway, he was there -
gliding down the wing,
Terry McDermott and Graham
Sounes - also did their thing.

They even had a ‘super-sub’
who liked to call their bluff,
He always came on as a sub -
their saviour…David Fairclough.
Their goalkeeper was a gem -
he would always save them,
The ever reliable’ Ray Clemence,
he jumped and dived in mayhem!!

One thing they had in common -
was their title’ heir,
Also in the 70s - they all had curly
permed hair!
They played in all types of weather,
even in the snow.
They didn’t wear woolen gloves -
real men you have to know!!

They really were the champions -
of Europe and the UK -
But unlike the boys today - they
didn’t get very good pay!
They played for the love of the
game - that is very true,
And every Saturday at Anfield -
they played a game for you.

Kenny Dalglish was a player -
also a manager,
He came from Bonny Scotland -
he really was their saviour.
Joe Fagan was a sensation - a
manager, precisely.
Also in the same class - was
the brilliant Bob Paisley.

The managers of bygone years,
were all stars to know,
They all graced the Liverpool
shirt - their skills were all on
show.
But the legend of them all - a
brilliant man, honestly,
He commanded all respect -
the one and only…BILL SHANKLY.

The Liverpool team of the past -
like others - were a super team
to watch,
And every match-day in the bathtub -
they liked a drop of Scotch!!
The true greats of Liverpool - are
in our memory, far afield.
Welcome to the home of the
Liverpool…the brilliant ANFIELD.
