Original 'This Is Anfield' Sign from Liverpool FC to be Auctioned

The original 'This Is Anfield' sign from Liverpool FC's stadium tunnel is scheduled for auction, with an estimated value of £10,000 to £15,000. The auction will take place over two days on September 8 and 9.

This sign, which has significant historical value, was created under the direction of legendary manager Bill Shankly in 1972. It was intended to remind players of their responsibilities and intimidate visiting teams. The sign was removed in the 1970s and has been in private display since then.

Notable players such as Alan Hansen and Kenny Dalglish were photographed with the sign during their time at the club. The sign's journey includes being displayed in a hotel in the Isle of Man for over 20 years before returning to auction.
