On August 31, 2025, a football field in the quiet Swiss village of Magglingen transformed into a sea of red, white, and yellow—each jersey representing a chapter in the history of Liverpool Football Club. The reason? A lifelong Liverpool fan, Florian Thürler, chose to celebrate his 60th birthday in the most unforgettable way possible—by unveiling his record-breaking collection of 1,047 Liverpool FC jerseys, earning him a spot in the Guinness World Records.
Florian Thürler’s love for Liverpool spans more than five decades, and this dedication is now enshrined in football history. His collection includes kits dating back to the 1950s, spanning eras from Shankly and Dalglish to Klopp and Salah. Displayed meticulously on the pitch, the jerseys formed a living timeline of the club’s iconic evolution—each one a symbol of moments that defined generations of fans.
A former striker for Swiss club Young Boys, Thürler’s passion for football goes beyond admiration—it’s deeply personal. As reported by Swiss publication 20 Minuten, Thürler views each shirt as more than fabric; to him, every jersey “tells a story”—whether it’s about triumph in the European Cup during the ’70s or the brilliance of Mohamed Salah in recent years. “When you support a club like this, it’s for life,” Thürler told the publication.
The display drew attention from local Swiss media and global football fanatics alike. Social media buzzed with admiration, while Liverpool fans across continents shared photos and memories inspired by Thürler’s effort. For many, this wasn’t just a Guinness World Record—it was a tribute to the kind of love only true fans understand.
While jersey collectors are common in football culture, what sets Thürler apart is the scale and consistency of his devotion to a single club. In a world of shifting loyalties and club-hopping, Florian’s lifelong commitment to Liverpool is both rare and remarkable.
From a pitch in Switzerland to the record books of the world, Florian Thürler has proven that fandom isn’t measured in chants or cheers alone—it can be stitched into every thread of a jersey, worn proudly, and remembered forever.
