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, Sephton’s 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 Liverpoolfc.com about stepping down, he said: “It’s been the honour of a lifetime to be known as ‘The Voice of Anfield’.
“I’ve been privileged to have a front-row seat at some of the greatest occasions in football history – memories I will cherish forever.
“Anfield has been my second home for over 50 years, and I’ve loved every moment. But the time is right to pass the microphone on.”
Paul Cuttill, vice-president of stadium operations at LFC, added: “George Sephton is more than just a stadium announcer – he is a part of the fabric of Anfield.
“His voice has soundtracked countless unforgettable moments in our club’s history, and his presence in the gantry will be deeply missed. We thank him for his remarkable tenure and dedication to the club.”
