#TAWMAG6
WE”VE churned out six free Anfield Wrap magazines now, and while we”d heartily recommend that you read every word, watch every video and listen to every audio clip, we appreciate that it”s unlikely you”ll do so.
So, as it”s Christmas (ish), we thought we”d bring you the best of the mag so far. And don”t forget that while first and foremost this is a made-for-iPad publication (it”s here if Father Christmas left one of those in your stocking) it”s also been adapted to be used on ANY device – PC, Android etc etc – and it can be read for nothing at: app.theanfieldwrap.com
So, those highlights so far…

The Kop”s last stand (Issue 3)
April 30, 1994 was Liverpool”s last match in front of the famous old terrace and now only pictures, memories (and seats) remain. That was until TAW contributor Mike Nevin revealed he had a home-made video of that landmark day, filmed by his dad on a video camera.
