Nope nicked from Woolwich Arsenal's Manor Ground, which I believe was the first reference to the Spion Kop.
FWIW: The term Spion Kop (or Kop for short) is a colloquial name or term for a number of terraces and stands at sports stadiums attended by hardcore fans.
It comes from the Battle of Spion Kop in January 1900 during the Second Boer War (in particukar a hill near Ladysmith, South Africa, where the battle took place).
Wish I could sleep - can't wait for the game tomorrow.
