Spirit of Shankly
Spirit Of Shankly (SOS) is the official supporters' union for fans of Liverpool Football Club and is leader of the supporters board. Named after former Liverpool manager Bill Shankly, the union was formed in early 2008 by disgruntled fans opposed to the former club ownership of Tom Hicks and George N. Gillett, Jr. and quickly developed into a cooperative representing its members and other Liverpool fans on issues such as ticketing, travel, community, and regeneration issues. It ultimately seeks fan ownership of the club.
