Description:In or shortly after the year AD 902, Viking settlers on Wirral, a small peninsula near what is now Liverpool, noticed some crane birds or herons on a sandbank on the banks of the Mersey. Since trani is Old Norse for crane bird/heron, and mere in this context is from the 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 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.
