My first visit to anfield was in a few year back when we played Porto in the Uefa Cup. Owen scored both goals which took us on to play Barca, i remember being in the Kop and singing like a nut-case. I live in Northern Ireland so getting to the matches isn't just a car trip away.

I managed to get to 3 games this year. I attended the Spurs match at the Lane, was good to be paret of the away crowd for a change. I was only one seat away from the Spurs fans and the atmosphere was great, had a good laugh with them.

Later in the season i attended the West Ham and Charlton games both at Anfield. Both of which were very good, altough after traveling all day and night would have liked to see Robbie's goal allowed into the Kop during the second half during the Charlton game.

Really enjoy coming over to Liverpool now have plans to go 4 or 5 times next season, what else would you spend a student loan on, lol.

First trip to Anfield was an incredible experience.
Walking up the steps into the Kop with my uncle and my Da, it was on an Easter break with my family back in '88.
The atmosphere was electric, swaying about in the Kop, shouting and singing along with the crowd around me. I was only nine years of age and I could n't believe it was real.
We were 3-1 up at half time against the 'scumbags', but true to form the 'jammy gets' scored two deflected goals from Bryan Robson.

Unbelievable day, one I'll never forget.

FA Cup Final vs ManUre in "that" Green + White Kit. (OK not anfield but my first LFC game)

Super Lucky to get tickets to that game and got a good seat right behind the goal too.

Don't think ive ever seen so many unhappy people in one place.

My first time in Paradise was a Tuesday night in September '87 against Charlton... We ended up winning 3-2 but were behind twice (Garth Crooks got one of theirs) the scorers were Aldo, Macca and Jocky (yep, I got to see a very rare ocurrence!)
As for memories, they come in all forms but the most recent was in May... I was in Las Vegas with the lads and got up at 6am to go to an English pub (The Crown & Anchor) to watch the Cup Final with a 7am kick-off. It was packed with Scousers and Cockneys with tons of banter going on. Kevin Nolan and Nicky Hunt of Bolton were there and Nolan was going mental and leading the singing (YNWA, Ring of Fire etc) A fantastic atmosphere topped off by Stevie G doing the business (again!) A big shout out to those of you who were there.

Cant remember who we played for my first game, all i can remember is standing against the fence in the boys pen and being awe-struck with what i seen before me, cant remember anything but that, eventually i got into the kop and the rest has been a glorious journey full of more highs than lows
