Reds shine in Germany

20th Mar 2011 - Latest News

A party of Liverpool supporters have been in Germany this weekend for their fifth 'friendship visit' to Moenchengladbach to once again consolidate and enhance a very special friendship that goes back over 30 years.

Fans of the Reds and Bundesliga club Borussia Moenchengladbach established strong links following the teams' meetings in European competition during the 1970s.

Since 1992, a group of Borussia fans have travelled to Anfield every winter to support Liverpool, meanwhile Kopites, led by organiser Graham Agg, have journeyed to Moenchengladbach annually since 2007.

In 1991 a delegation of Borussia supporters flew to Liverpool to present a cheque for 21,000 Deutsch Marks for the Hillsborough families, a gesture that has never been forgotten on Merseyside.

It is a friendship that has stood the test of time, and is absolutely unique in world football.
