Liverpool Football Club can confirm George Sephton, affectionately known as āThe Voice of Anfieldā, will step down at the end of the season after more than five decades as stadium announcer.
He will make his final matchday appearance on Sunday when the Reds host Crystal Palace and lift the Premier League trophy at the conclusion of the 2024-25 campaign finale.
Since taking his place in the Anfield gantry in 1971, Georgeās iconic voice has become a beloved and integral part of the matchday experience for generations of Liverpool supporters.
From announcing the teams to playing the perfect track to match the mood, his presence has been a constant.
Speaking to Liverpool fc. com about stepping down, George said: "Itās been the honour of a lifetime to be known as āThe Voice of Anfieldā.
"Iāve been privileged to have a front-row seat at some of the greatest occasions in football history ā memories I will cherish forever.
āAnfield has been my second home for over 50 years, and Iāve loved every moment. But the time is right to pass the microphone on.ā
Paul Cuttill, vice president of stadium operations at LFC, added: "George Sephton is more than just a stadium announcer ā he is a part of the fabric of Anfield.
āHis voice has soundtracked countless unforgettable moments in our clubās history, and his presence in the gantry will be deeply missed. We thank him for his remarkable tenure and dedication to the club.ā
Has he been told that leaving the club without a transfer fee means he needs to get booed?
Thatās Arneās fault.
Billy Joelās concers at Anfield have been cancelled due to ill health:
I hope he recovers, Iāve always enjoyed a bit of Billyās music.
This is so sad.
People like him and Stephen Done⦠Iād probably rather meet them than any of the players or managers.
Bloody excited with Wirtz coming in, but then in the same day I saw that George would be leaving.
Itās like when we signed Carroll after signing Suarez!
Is that the one at the stadium?
Yep, i guess it gets an Adidas makeover
The club applied for planning permission to make some changes/refurbish to the store. It opened in 2017 when the main stand did, albeit doesnāt look tired or anything!
I just saw thisā¦
Knowing how much Lego sets cost, it would probably end up costing more than a season ticket. It would be very cool, though.
Maybe Bruce announces our new signings
Forsyth?
Heās dead
So? He could announce them from beyond the grave.
Amazing, this AI stuff.
Eurgh is it
