Liverpool fans traditionally applaud opposing goalkeepers when they defend the Kop end at Anfield, but Jordan Pickford received a different reception in Saturday's Merseyside derby
Jordan Pickford isn’t the first opposing goalkeeper to be booed by Liverpool fans and he won’t be the last.
"This is a field that respects the players and I am grateful that the fans applaud the players, when I came here with Real it was the same." Then 36 years old, the Real Madrid legend had kept a clean sheet for Porto in a 0-0 draw, and received a loud, prolonged reception from the Kop ahead of the second half as Liverpool earned a 5-0 aggregate win in the Champions League round-of-16.“Liverpool fans are good.
“Gordon Banks was in the Leicester goal, and I think Shankly had sent him out early doors to take the cheers from the Kop and everything. But when he came out to face Liverpool, the Kop went absolutely ballistic. That was the first time I had ever seen the Kop react the way they did. “I always looked out for it, every game, because I would always be on the Kop and I would applaud the goalkeeper,” Ged Rea told This is Anfield.
“Obviously the great ones, the great European goalkeepers, Sepp Maier, Buffon, goalkeepers like that did because they understood it, they got the history of Liverpool Football Club.”
