I think they mean as in following like sheep
Woolybacks is a general term for people born/living in smaller towns surrounding Liverpool. Usually fairly close so they have some connection to the city. My missus grew up 7 or 8 miles from Liverpool and falls into this category. Don’t think they’d generally call a South Wales based Liverpool fan a woollyback but maybe it’s use gets extended by football fans.
