Liverpool fan Graham Agg, who
organises a reciprocal visit from
Liverpool to Gladbach, says: “The
hospitality that's been shown to
me and fellow Reds during our
annual visits to Gladbach has to
be seen to be believed. They are
without doubt the greatest fans in
Germany, from a working-class city
with a love of their team on a par
with our own, and this a friendship
unique in world football.
“This year is special as it's their
25th consecutive visit to support
the Reds. We'll greet them as they
greet us in Germany, with open arms
and lots of Scouse hospitality in The
Albert [pub] where they congregate
before and after the match!”played Borussia in the 1973 UEFA Cup
