Plenty of Liverpool fans have expressed their fondness for a 90-second advert from club sponsor Standard Chartered marking 10 years of their association with the Reds after it was published on their Twitter channel @StanChart.
In Liverpool, loyalty runs deep. Standard Chartered is proud to celebrate 10 thrilling years as @LFC ’s main sponsor. #StandRed pic.twitter.com/mdcJR5nAwk

The video is accompanied by a cover of ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’ from Astraea and features a female Liverpool supporter growing up through the eventful 2010s, with odes to prominent key players and moments from the past decade. The lows of Fernando Torres departing for Chelsea and the agonising collapse of their 2013/14 title challenge are interspersed with the highs of Jurgen Klopp’s appointment as manager in 2015 and last year’s memorable Champions League nights against Barcelona and Tottenham.
Standard Chartered has been the club’s main shirt sponsor since summer 2010, when they replaced Carlsberg, whose brand was featured on Liverpool’s kit for 18 years until the banking company took up the honour. [via Bleacher Report]
