The Brighton Kop: 270 miles from Anfield but no less Liverpool – video

There is a pub in the middle of Brighton, 270 miles from Anfield, that is home to a community of Liverpool fans, they call it the Brighton Kop. When Benny started the supporters' club, he was worried about how he would be perceived as a gay man walking into a pub and asking football fans to join his club. But four years on the Brighton Kop is a successful community project raising money for charities and is now an official supporters' club, meaning a first visit to Anfield for some members. The pub is expecting 3,000 fans when Liverpool visit Brighton on 2 December
