This is important': on the ground with Liverpool fans at Anfield
Briefly

Ann-Marie Barton expressed her joy attending Liverpool's title celebration, contrasting her solitary champagne toast during the pandemic. Surrounded by friends at Anfield, she reveled in the atmosphere, remarking on her lifelong support for the team. Teammate Ali Hamidi, who played a symbolic role in a previous victory, reflected on how he first became a Liverpool fan. Their shared experiences highlight the significance of this title win, particularly for those, like Hamidi, who had not grasped previous victories due to age. The event highlights the importance of community and shared joy among football fans.
It means a lot to be here, said Ann-Marie Barton, reflecting on her pandemic solitude during Liverpool's last title win, cherishing the communal joy of this season.
Barton has been Liverpool since she popped out of her mother's womb, she said, and is proud of the autographs on the wheels of her chair.
Hamidi played a role in a previous victory, recalling the viral moment when his throw-in led to a crucial goal, solidifying his Liverpool fandom.
I was only 10 when they won in 1990, so I didn't really grasp what was happening. Winning today doesn't mean everything.
