| Synopsis: |
In or shortly after the year AD 902 Viking settlers on Wirral, a small peninsula near what is now Liverpool, noticed some cranebirds or herons on a sandbank on the banks of the Mersey. Since trani is Old Norse for cranebird/heron and mere in this context is from Old Norse melr, a sandbank, the place-name Tranmelr - Tranmere - came into being. A millennium afterwards the connections of Tranmere and Wirral with Norway and Scandinavia are still very strong, particularly in the genes of the people from the area: there is even a "Viking Navy" - and Tranmere Rovers - its football team - preserves this tradition as the only team in the English Football League with a Norse Viking name. The book is written primarily for football supporters - Tranmere fans interested in the origins of the name and the links with the Vikings, and the very many Scandinavian supporters who come to Tranmere and Liverpool games. We hope you enjoy reading about the connections! |
