Norwegian Liverpool fans name their child after a famous aspect of the club

How do you pronounce that?

That’s all well and good, but how do you pronounce it?

Liverpool FC have a huge following around the world, but especially so in Norway. It dates back to the 70s when there was more coverage of English football than the local game.

One Norwegian couple have gone to extreme measures to prove their Anfield allegiances – by naming their daughter in tribute of the club.

But what did they call her? Kendra? Rafaella? Brenda? No – they plumped for Ynwa.

It of course stands for club anthem ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’, and the proud parents hope it instills in their child the same values of togetherness, loyalty and love…
