I am not really a fan of football but I can appreciate how football fans are hooked with the game. The lyrics of the songs posted reflect how the players really love the sport and how dedicated they are to the sport. It is inspiring.

Don’t forget that Celtic also adopted YNWA as one of their anthems and imagine what it’s like when supporters of both clubs bellow it out together in a game, especially at Anfield. Absolutely spine-tingling.

I’ve also heard “You’ll Never Walk Alone” reinterpreted from the Manchester United terraces as “You’ll Never Walk Again”, when Manu U were playing Liverpool in the 1977 FA Cup Final.

Its also the song used for the team song of Australia’s greatest rugby league team, the South Sydney Rabbitohs (see http://www.souths.com.au)

There’s no doubt that Liverpool supporters’ association with “You’ll Never Walk Alone” started with the Gerry & The Pacemakers version. Part of the pre-match ritual at Anfield in the early 1960s was for a number of singles to be played over the loudspeakers – the first ever episode of “Match Of The Day”, recorded in 1964, starts with Kenneth Wolstenholme almost being drowned out by The Kop singing “She Loves You”.

They could have done with a bit of that this afternoon, all things considered.

was the reference point for the Kop not the fact that it was a number one hit for the Liverpudlian group ‘Gerry and the Pacemakers’ back in 1963?

Yes, it is. YNWA was adopted in 1963 and the “arrangement” sung by the fans – such as it is – is recognizably the Gerry and the Pacemakers version.

i do believe historyman is right on this – hard to imagine they had shirley jones or doris day in mind! but i love that football fans share a song or two with judy garland and nina simone. as well as the mormon tabernacle choir.

I enjoyed that very much. So many of the traditional songs that the terraces belted out had their origins in religious or spiritual themes.

Regarding the ‘incongrous relationship’ between the Liverpool fans and YNWA, was the reference point for the Kop not the fact that it was a number one hit for the Liverpudlian group ‘Gerry and the Pacemakers’ back in 1963? I’m not 100% sure on this, but I think that the Liverpool supporters started singing it from that point onwards.

The musical ‘Carousel’ may not have registered as much on their radars!
