(Video) Liverpool fans make pointed message with chant celebrating Anfield icon

Posted by

Liverpool fans made a pointed message about their feelings towards the establishment while serenading a club legend.

Prior to kick-off at Anfield this evening, the national anthem was met with emphatic booing as the home faithful vented their antipathy towards the royal family on coronation weekend.

During the second half of today’s clash against Brentford, the Kop (and indeed most of the ground) broke into a chant of ‘Kenny is our king’ as they lauded the iconic Kenny Dalglish, while also getting in a dig at King Charles III.

It was one of several powerful messages made by Liverpool supporters, whose disdain for the establishment has been very strongly voiced.

You can see the clip of the King Kenny chant below, as shared on Twitter by @empireofthekop:

    Bit of a shame tonight with Liverpool Supporters jeering the National Anthem at Anfield.

    Even if you don’t agree with something we always say we are a City / Football Club that lets others celebrate their own beliefs and happiness.

    Sorry but let ourselves down Tonight.

    Supposedly justified by the type of quote below from the Independent :

    The pre-match playing of ‘God Save the King’ was roundly jeered by the majority of fans, who have not forgiven the establishment for its attitude to the city in the 1980s and, more recently, the handling of the Hillsborough disaster and the fight for justice.
