    Nothing to do with winning the title, it was purely down to the popularity of the MerseyBeat sound at the time, its well documented.

    Not going to disagree. The Beatles and Cilla were also blasted out. The pacemakers song was sang after you won the title, as far as I have read anyway.

    No dig, you sing it still to this day and you've been ****e for nearly 30 years <whistle>

    Sounds better as a chant but the actual song is dreadful. Most of those football based songs are. Its actually based on a proper song I believe but can't think of its real title. Google would probably help but its still Sunday, so I can't be arsed to check.

    Edit - yep, an american war song, glory glory hallelujah <laugh>

    I'm not surprised DJ Spoony is a hero to so many of you. Born in London in 1970, he jumped on the Liverpool bandwagon in the late 1970's.

    Hardcore.

    So. If a random cross-section of the British public were asked the question "With which football team do you associate the song 'You'll Never Walk Alone'?", what do you think the poll result would be? Answer in three syllables please <laugh> What a ****ing blend <doh>

    Who gives a ****? Really...? Liverpool along with many other clubs sing it and adopted it as the club song. Other clubs didn't, some of those clubs don't like it because it's associated to a rival club. Anything else to report? Anything new...? No, thought not.

    I dont even know what the big fuss is about the song, it's depressing anyways. Everytime I hear it, it reminds me of how lucky I am not to be a scouser.

    People from Edinbrough probably think the same when they hear the Celtic fans sing it :biggrin:

    Panorama did a programme early 60's about the Kop inventing singing popular songs on the terraces. The reporter said there'd never been anything like it in football anywhere before - I know I was at matches early 60's and YNWA was sung there soon after it's release in '63, Gerry being a big reds fan helped <ok>

    If the song unites football fans, that's a good thing, and hearing fans singing it wherever in the world in support of Hillsborough only adds to the Fellowship <ok>

    As for Spoony <laugh>

    Agree you started with the pop songs, United fans sang the musical version. Its not even the same song is it? Bar the chorus.

    United fans didn't sing it though in the sense we're talking about, it was a choir as a tribute at a game. A one-off and a very nice gesture.
