Its a celebration of the long but ultimately successful battle to rid Liverpool of Tom Hicks and George Gillett.
‘Spirit of Shankly: The noise that refused to be dealt with’ is an exhibition of 16 photographs taken by group member and photographer John Johnson.
They are on display at Unit 28 on the first floor of Liverpool’s Met Quarter shopping centre until September 2.
From the big dig protest to the marches, the images highlight the impact of the fans’ organization which was formed in January 2008.
Johnson said: “As a photographer and lifelong Liverpool supporter I felt compelled to document those dark days of rule at the hands of Hicks and Gillett and more importantly the subsequent uprising from fellow fans.
“An uprising which would lead to the formation of the Spirit of Shankly, the first independent football supporters’ union in the UK.
“I hope that this exhibition gives some small insight into that birth, struggle and eventual triumph.”
