1) Hillsborough. Although I never knew the victims personally, it was an overwhelming experience to stand in front of the memorial and see those 96 names.
2) Istanbul, especially the rendition of "You'll Never Walk Alone" at half time. Watched "One Night in May" again.
3) Titi Camara playing, scoring and then dropping to his knees in tears at the Anfield Road End, on the very same morning his father passed away. There's commitment for you
4) The return of God to Anfield
5) Gerrard's awesome goal against Olympiacos to send us through to the knockout stages of the Champions League
6) Beating Chelsea in the semi-finals of the 2005 Champions League, putting us through to the final at Istanbul. The celebrations after the match were amazing as the Kop burst into song. Mourinho still hasn't forgiven us for that
7) Reading stories of Shankly and how he touched the hearts of Liverpool fans
8) When we were on tour in Thailand and greeted by fanatical support, Jamie Redknapp who was then captain whispered to one of the foreign lads, "now you know what it means to play for Liverpool FC".
9) When Robbie Fowler visited Thailand with the team, he was appointed an ex-military captain as a body guard. The bodyguard (can't remember his name) told Robbie that he'd visit Liverpool one day. 2 years later, he saved up enough money and went to Melwood to see the team train. After training he called out to Robbie who recognised him and even remembered his name. Robbie took him out to dinner with the lads and paid for everything during his duration of stay. The fans will always be remembered.


I'm a soppy sap.

I'm curious to hear from posters who have shed tears when 'their' national sides lose; why is it you do so? This is not a challenge, I'm really curious to know where the emotional attachment comes in.

I share your sentiment. When it comes to internationals, I watch teams that play good football.

Been busy of late lah, CNY and all. Will also be away each week until after March the 13th. Then perhaps

Wasn't referring to any one poster in particular. It's just I for one am not emotionally tied to any other nation, not enough to cry tears of joy or victory for them anyway. I'm asking because I want to understand the psyche of those that are, emotionally involved with another nation I mean. I can however see myself being sad or happy for them but then again, there are many more things to be sad or happy about, things that don't directly concern me I mean. I don't gamble on games but I do understand the pains of having to part with your money. God knows I parted with a fair bit of mine over the CNY period

England in Futsal is like Malaysia in football lah

The only sport that gets me going is badminton.
