The Truth

Here is a picture from dontbuythesun.co.uk which I have slightly changed to make it 15th April 2010 and 21 years since Hillsborough.

I think we should spread this round the internet for example I have made it my profile picture on facebook. We have already got a worldwide trending topic on twitter which shows how much people care about the 96 brothers and sisters lost on 15th April 1989. They never did and never will Walk Alone, we will always remember them.

R.I.P 96 brothers and sisters.

FOOTBALL LEGENDS LEAD INTERNATIONAL LINE-UP

Football legends including Terry Venables and Ian Rush will lead out some of Europe’s finest players at a star-studded 6-a-side tournament.

Former England manager Venables will lead the England team, Rush will manage Ireland/ Wales, former Scotland international Ally McCoist will head up Scotland and former Italy player Alberto Cabrini will take the reins for Europe.

The inaugural European Former Football Players Association (EFPA) Champions Cup, which takes place at the Echo Arena, is part of a two day annual football Congress on April 15 and 16 which is coming to Liverpool for the first time.

A host of legendary players will be jetting in from all over Europe to show off their soccer skills at the contest, which will signal the culmination of the two-day Congress and will take place on April 16 at 6.45pm.

These include former Danish midfielder Michael Laudrup, Gheorghe Hagi, Anders Limpar and Vladimir Smicer.

Serbian centre back Miroslav Đukić and ex Danish star John Lauridsen also form a strong European side.

Pulling on their football boots for England are ex Liverpool hero Robbie Fowler who will be joined by his former team mate, winger Steve McManaman, and former Everton favourites Peter Reid and Dave Watson.

Ramon Alfonseda, a former Barcelona player and President of EFPA, said:  “We promised world-class players and managers and it is fantastic to see this taking shape with a very strong line-up. These sports stars are of the highest calibre and we are honoured that they are able to take part in our event.  We expect to announce the participation of more quality players very soon.”

Teams of former internationals will contest a four-team round robin completion with the two best contesting the first ever EFPA Champions Cup final.



The time has come

I’ve decided to quit blogging and my website, until I’m a bit older. It was around a year ago I first joined Empire Of The Kop. Since then I’ve seen it grow into a larger and larger community, day  by day.

I’d also like to thank Antoine, for helping me through my year at Empire Of The Kop, he’s a really kind person who will always listen to what you have to say.

Good luck Empire Of The Kop in the future of the blog, I’m sure the popularity will increase even more.

I may come back in a couple of years, but for now, my time is over.
