129 years of Liverpool Football Club has brought fans from all around the world to the Merseyside club.
It is the joint most successful club in English football, and has won more European Cups than any other side in the English leagues.
It was during the 1970s that Liverpool really began to establish themselves as a major force in English and European football, thanks to the efforts of the likes of Bill Shankly, Bob Paisley, Joe Faggan and Kenny Dalglish.
Iconic manager Jurgen Klopp has been keeping that magic alive in recent years, and the success the club has enjoyed has seen its fan base spreads far wider than the city itself.
International actors, singers, politicians and more have all spoken out of their love for the Reds in the past.
Here is a look at some of those famous faces who support Liverpool…
