what it means to be an International RED

Late nights, page after page, story after story, scouring the internet for the slightest piece of news about our beloved LFC. YNWA...These are the daily actions of countless LFC fans across the globe who cannot be there at Anfield each day to support our team. This is how we strive to be apart of something much larger than ourselves, this is how we meet our heros, this is how we support our club, and this is what it means to be an International RED. Those of us who believe in never walking alone, do so from afar and most of us have done so since the early days of the club. Most of us grew up watching sports shows in our own country with highlights of the King, Rushie, Barnes, Grobbelaar or particularly in Australia, Robbie Slater, Craig Johnston and Harry Kewell. We have grown up knowing this is our team and living on the small amounts of information from TV, Radio and Newspapers to fuel our love for the Liverpool Football Club and the heros and legends that inspired us as children to watch and play the game of football. Today we have a lot more access to information and content about our team, with more television coverage of live games, internet coverage and stories and even with the ability to travel some may even get to sit in the hallows of Anfield to see the boys run the park once in their life time. This is all to the betterment of the international RED. We feel more involved, we feel more informed and we feel more apart of the club and its everyday life. BUT... The passion an international RED has for his club and players is no less diminished now because of this information access, we don't take this for granted, we have spent so long being fuelled by so little information in the past, that now it is a chance for us to have a greater say, a greater influence and to be heard form so far away. If anything we take these new capabilities to enjoy LFC to the extremes because our passion has grown and it is the same passion that flows through every RED on the planet. The want for our club to be the best, to win, to be and show what it is to be Liverpool. This is what it means to be an International RED. YNWA.
