December 13, 2008 (Newpaper report)

The Reds are on the verge of usurping Manchester United as the fans' favourites.
It is not just on the pitch that Liverpool are closing the gap on Manchester United: the English Premier League leaders are also winning the battle for new fans around the world.
The biggest survey of EPL fans across the globe has revealed Liverpool are on the verge of toppling United from their perch as the best-supported club in the world's favourite league.
The survey, organised by the EPL's principal sponsors, Barclays, polled 32,000 fans in 185 countries and territories. United remain the most popular club but only by the tiniest of margins, with both teams attracting the backing of 26 per cent of the supporters who took part in the voluntary survey.
For Liverpool, that represents a significant advance on the 18 per cent figure they registered in a similar but smaller survey three years ago. The popularity of Liverpool's biggest stars also suggests United's status as the most valuable brand in English football is under siege.
Cristiano Ronaldo might have been a near unanimous choice for this year's Ballon d'Or after inspiring his club to a Premier League and Champions League double, but he trails Liverpool's Fernando Torres and Steven Gerrard in terms of popularity among fans.
As one of the Premier League's first truly top-class imports, Marcel Desailly - who spent six years at Chelsea after arriving as a World Cup winner in 1998 - is in the perfect position to assess the league's growth in the last decade. The former France defender acknowledges Liverpool's support is on the rise, but he believes Rafa Benitez's team must win the league to make their increased popularity stick in the long term.
"Manchester United made their fame around the world because of the Premier League," he said. "In the past 10 years they have won everything. That is why Liverpool have to win the Premier League."
The survey is not encouraging for Chelsea's hopes of supplanting Manchester United as the English club with the biggest international fan base. The west London club appears to be regarded as this season's team to beat - 37 per cent of fans tipped them to win the title - but only 10 per cent are willing to declare themselves supporters, well behind Arsenal (15 per cent), and market leaders Manchester United and Liverpool.

Yes, that’s right. The above news report states it all… Liverpool FC is fast becoming the most popular club in the world.

And on 28th November 2008 at 11.41am, we welcome not just another member to the Senior Commander Kwang Yew’s family, but we added also a new member to the Liverpool’s fan club. Nigel Lim Ch’ng Jie becomes the youngest member to join the club at the tender age of just a day after he was born. His father ensures that Nigel recognizes which club he is supporting by donning him with a true RED Liverpool towel the very next day after his introduction to the world. The KOP rejoices at the addition as we race to become the most popular club in the world beating the current rival Manchester United.



Nigel’s baby court was the only court that has the popular LIVERPOOL FC logo sticker at the side of his name.

Nigel Lim singing the Liverpool’s “You’ll Never Walk Alone” anthem with all his might…

Notes to all other EPL club fans trying to court Nigel to his club, his Daddy says..

"Don't try to be funny! He's a true Liverpool fan, just like his Dad!"
