Liverpool Fans On the East Coast. A Photo Essay By Janette Beckman

Back in 2019, just before COVID struck, Local NY mag The Culture Crush did an excellent feature on Liverpool fans in America, specifically supporters in their soccer bars in the North East States. The feature includes stunning photographs of Liverpool fans in the USA by legendary hip-hop photographer Janette Beckman.

The Spring 2019 edition of Culture Crush magazine was a must-have for lovers of the beautiful game in the North East, especially if you’re a Liverpool fan.

The 40-page photo essay “You’ll Never Walk Alone” presented dozens of amazing shots by legendary photographer Janette Beckman. These stunning images captured the passion and excitement of watching EPL football in a pub on a weekend morning in Boston, New York or Philadelphia.

 The feature was written by Joey AX who explains the communal rituals involved in supporting your team from across the pond, and why Liverpool and football in general have become so popular here.

With the help of First Touch magazine, this limited edition free issue of Culture Crush was distributed to soccer bars in New York. The copies were snapped up in record time and have become quite the collectors item.
