Anfield has been the home of Liverpool FC since 1892 and now 133 years on, fans from across Merseyside and beyond continue to make their way through the turnstiles to show their support for the club.

But these photos, unearthed from our archives, are bound to stir some memories of staff from years gone by.

Back in March 1981, Liverpool ECHO reporters Charles Lambert, Anne Cummings and Ian Hargreaves were given a behind the scenes look at life at Anfield Stadium, shadowing various departments for a "week in the life" feature.



From Sunday through to Saturday, the team met numerous Anfield employees to hear about their roles.

They also saw training at Melwood, catering staff prepping players' favourite meals, board meetings with Bob Paisley, evening meetings with sponsors Hitachi and fans hovering around the car park for autographs.
