"Being a Liverpool fan requires patience."

This short phrase has been used by Thai Liverpool fans to comfort each other for many zodiac cycles. TT

The translation of the provided text is as follows:

Although the team's performance has left many fans with dark circles under their eyes, there is no doubt that every true Liverpool fan wants to visit Anfield, the team's home ground, at least once in their lifetime.

After being a fan of this team for over 20 years, my day has finally arrived! Hooray! \^O^/

^ Thank you to https://fearlessreds.wordpress.com/30-2/ for the image of Anfield before the new stand was built. ^

Anfield, a true footballing arena, has been in operation since 1884, spanning over a century. In 1892, upon the founding of Liverpool Football Club, the stadium became the permanent home of the English football powerhouse.

The Soul of Anfield: A Century of Footballing History

For over a century, Anfield has transcended its role as a mere football stadium. It has become a living testament to the beautiful game, a stage where countless stories have unfolded, etched into the annals of football history. Within its hallowed walls, echoes of laughter, cheers, and the occasional tear from the passionate supporters who fill its stands during every match reverberate through time.

The England national team, once captained by superstars David Beckham and Steven Gerrard, has occasionally used Anfield as its home ground. Notably, during England's hosting of the 1996 UEFA European Championship, Anfield was honored as one of the tournament's venues.

One of the most convenient ways to travel to Anfield is by train and then bus.

If you are traveling by train from other cities in England to Liverpool, you should choose to get off at the final station, Liverpool Lime Street Station. The exterior of this station looks very similar to a train station in the capital city. The interior is very modern and spacious.

Before leaving the station, it is recommended to purchase a Solo Ticket for the Liverpool public transportation system. This ticket is convenient, easy to use, and economical.

After exiting the station, head straight to Queen Square Center, where you can catch a bus. The journey is short, so you won't even break a sweat. Remember to tell the driver, "To Anfield, please, bus number 17 from stand number 6." And that's it, you're on your way!

After boarding the bus, the driver will take us on a thrilling tour of the city, with sharp turns and twists that will leave us feeling excited and a little lost. After no more than 20 minutes, we will arrive at the stadium, where we can disembark and finally admire the magnificent Anfield. Hooray!

Anfield is a UEFA Category 4 Stadium (the highest standard) with a capacity of around 45,000 seats before the expansion of the stands in 2016. Although it is not as large as the stadiums of other major European clubs, it is full of charm, magic, stories, and history that we can admire around the stadium. I will tell you more about it next time. Today, I will take you on a tour of the Liverpool FC Museum, which collects the stories and honors of the club, allowing the Reds to savor the glorious past.

The Liverpool FC Museum is located beneath the Spion Kop stand, the home of the club's most passionate and loyal supporters. The museum is easily accessible, located next to the bus stop where you just got off. Look for the Bill Shankly statue with his arms raised in the air. Walk through the back entrance marked "Museum & Tour Centre," pay the entrance fee, and head up to the second floor to begin your exploration.

The Liverpool FC Museum, while not boasting a grand architectural design, offers a captivating experience for football enthusiasts. The museum's dimly lit interior may be intentional, drawing attention to the historical artifacts and narratives on display rather than the physical space itself. Regardless of the rationale, the museum houses a treasure trove of memorabilia that holds immense historical and sentimental value. The photographs captured here represent only a fraction of the club's rich history and unforgettable moments.

Alright, enough with the introduction, let's dive right in! ^^

The 1974 FA Cup Final - The first of many trophies in the club's two-decade golden era.

The European Cup (now the UEFA Champions League) final in 1978, marking the club's second European title.

The cup beside it is the Milk Cup (or League Cup), which Liverpool dominated, becoming the first and only club in history to win the championship four times in a row from 1981 to 1984.

The 1981 European Cup Final (now known as the UEFA Champions League) marked the club's third European championship title.

The shirt worn by Alan Kennedy when he scored the winning goal for Liverpool against Real Madrid to win the 1981 European Cup (now the UEFA Champions League) - the club's third European title.

The 1986 FA Cup Final - The club's first and only double (league and cup) in its history.

The 1989 FA Cup Final - A late-stage championship in a two-decade reign of dominance.

The Iconic Leaf-Patterned Jersey - Champions of Division 1 (Equivalent to the Modern-Day English Premier League) in the 1989/90 Season, the Club's Last Top-Flight Title.

1992 FA Cup Final shirt and replica FA Cup trophy

Sander Westerveld's goalkeeper jersey from the 2000/01 season, when the club achieved a historic treble, becoming the first English club to do so.

The white shirt is the Jumper of Gerard Houllier, the manager of the team that made history in the same season.

The adjacent trophy is the Milk Cup (or League Cup) that Liverpool won four consecutive times between 1981 and 1984, and a replica of the 2001 UEFA Cup.

I would like to take a picture with the testimonial match shirt of King Kenny Kenny Dalglish, the legendary player and manager who last led Liverpool to the top league title in the 1989/90 season.

Now that we've seen the shirts, let's take a look at the trophies.

This cup is the Milk Cup (or League Cup) that Liverpool dominated, becoming the first and only club in history to win the championship four times in a row from 1981 to 1984.

This cup is the 1995 Coca Cola Cup (or League Cup), marking the club's fifth title in this competition.

Ah! This cup resembles the one above, but it is actually the Coca Cola Cup (or League Cup) from 2001.

The first Treble Winners trophy in history, with Liverpool making history as the first and only club in England to win three cup competitions in the same season.

This cup is the 2001 FA Cup.

The second Treble Winners trophy in the history of the club, the first and only club in the British Isles.

This is the UEFA Cup 2001.

The third trophy of the Treble Winners, a historic first for a club from the British Isles.

The Coca-Cola Cup (or League Cup) 2012 trophy, the club's most recent trophy, is strikingly similar to the one above. This victory marked the club's eighth League Cup championship, solidifying their position as the competition's all-time champion.

This cup is also significant: the Division 1 (now the equivalent of the English Premier League) championship trophy from the 1989/90 season, the club's last top-flight title. (It feels like they just won it recently, haha, laughing through tears.)

During a golden era, Liverpool reigned supreme as the most successful club in Europe, amassing a plethora of trophies that filled their cabinets to overflowing, prompting humorous depictions of overwhelmed cleaning staff struggling to keep pace with the club's relentless trophy haul.

In addition to shirts and trophies, there are also many medals for winning various competitions.

The club's history is also marked by significant events, such as the Heysel Stadium disaster in 1985.

The Heysel Stadium Disaster: A Turning Point for Liverpool and European Football

The tragic events at the Heysel Stadium in 1985, where 39 Juventus fans lost their lives during the European Cup final, marked a turning point for both Liverpool and European football. This incident, widely considered one of the darkest days in the sport's history, shattered the dominance of English clubs and cast a long shadow over the game.

The disaster prompted significant changes in stadium safety regulations and crowd control measures across Europe. It also led to a five-year ban on English clubs from European competitions, effectively ending Liverpool's reign as a European powerhouse.

The Heysel tragedy serves as a stark reminder of the human cost of fan violence and the importance of prioritizing safety in sporting events. It also highlights the need for continuous improvement in crowd management and security protocols to prevent such tragedies from occurring again.

After Liverpool won the European Cup (now the UEFA Champions League) four times in its golden era within eight years, it had to wait another 21 years before club legend Steven Gerrard led his team to a miraculous victory in Istanbul, winning the fifth title in 2005. This is a replica of the five championship trophies.

This display case houses replicas of the European Cup trophies won by the club during its golden era, specifically the 1977, 1978, 1981, and 1984 editions.

The museum's pièce de résistance, located just before the exit, is the authentic 2005 UEFA Champions League trophy.

Real certificate???

The UEFA Champions League trophy is awarded to the club that wins the European Cup three times in a row or five times in total. Liverpool won the trophy in 2005, becoming the permanent owner of the trophy. Previously, the trophy was held by famous footballers such as Raúl González of Real Madrid (1998, 2000, 2002), David Beckham of Manchester United (1999), and Paolo Maldini of AC Milan (2003).

Of course, let's take a picture with this trophy in a popular pose. ^^

For Liverpool fans, the club's current performance may not be as exciting as it once was, but the history of this English powerhouse is truly remarkable.

Beaming with joy, I'm heading home! ^^
