    Liverpool were the more Protestant club initially anyway but its called the Spion Kop after a Boer War Battle here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Spion_Kop

    Everton on the other hand didn't sign a black player until the 80's or early 90's.

    Just noticed that Linfield have one at Windsor Park as well so there might be something in it.

    By google, I meant that this has been analysed to death.

    Personally I think it's the stock ticker for Koppers Holdings Inc.
    My suspicion is due to the fact that the stock graph shown here matched liverpool's season remarkably accurately.
