STEPHEN POLLARD: Liverpool fans showed disrespectful and uncouth behaviour by booing the national anthem at Anfield

On Saturday at 3pm, I stood with more than 60,000 football fans at Tottenham Hotspur's stadium and sang the national anthem to mark the Coronation.

There was no particular fuss about it in advance, nor afterwards. Shortly before the Spurs and Crystal Palace teams were due to kick off, they walked to the centre circle, a drum-roll played over the speakers and the familiar anthem began.

As my friend said to me when it was over: 'That was stirring. We should do it before every game!'

The same scene played out at every Premier League ground on the fixture list that weekend – except for one.
