Kop End...
The Spion Kop, apparently in the early history of Anfield there
was just a steep hill which reminded Boar War veterans of the Spion
Kop in South Africa, the scene of a famous battle. Christened by
the locals, the name stuck.
Liverpool is not the only British football club to have a Spion
Kop or Kop but it's certainly the most famous and probably the
first, all Liverpool Football Club supporters are known as
Kopites.
