Americans React to You'll Never Walk Alone (Liverpool)

[@TimeyWimeyLimey]

You'll Never Walk Alone has been sung before every home game since the 1960's. It's become very much the anthem of the city of Liverpool, a city and people, who have suffered many economic hardships and had to weather many storms. In this video it was sung before a pre-season friendly at Melbourne Cricket Ground, Australia. You should hear it on a European night at Anfield.

You'll never walk alone is a song from the 1945 Rogers and Hammerstein musical - Carousel. Gerry Marsden was a Liverpool born guy who was the lead singer of the 60s band - Gerry and the Pacemakers! In 1963 He released 'You'll Never Walk Alone' as a single which went straight to number one and stayed there for 4weeks. Liverpool and the fans loved it so much they adopted it as their Football Anthem. As the years went on Gerry Marsden was invited to all major Liverpool games to Sing You'll Never Walk Alone, live - which is Gerry's voice you can hear at the beginning.

[@myroselle6987]

Lived a few years in Manchester in my 20's and made loads of good friends there. Both great cities with hard working down to earth people who have far more in common than they'd ever admit! Hillsborough the Truth by Phil Scratton is a very good book if anyone wants the details of how the 97 victims were unlawfully killed. It's a tough read which will probably bring a tear or two but it's part of our history and could have happened to any club. Nobody should go to a game and never return home.

No it wasnt sung at every ground. In the sixties the announcer would play the top ten before the Match, and the Kop would sing along. Gerry was at No.1 and the crowd sang...it was amazing, so it was kept in each week. It became our Anthem.

[@qdHazen]

4:09 - That gentleman there is Bob Paisley, Liverpool's manager from 1974-1983. He was the club's assistant manager under his legendary predecessor Bill Shankly and when Shankly retired, Paisley picked up the reigns as a sort of continuation of Shankly's legacy. Under Paisley's management, Liverpool went from one of the giants of English football to a titan of European competition, winning the European Cup (now the UEFA Champions League) three times and the UEFA Cup (UEFA Europa League) once. Of course, Liverpool were still very successful domestically during that time, winning the League six times, the League Cup (now the Carabao Cup) three times, and the Charity Shield (Community Shield) six times.

We even played Everton's theme Z Cars at Anfield to commemorate a young boy murdered in the city who was an Everton fan.

Yes, Gerry & The Pacemakers took this song to No.1 in the charts in 1963. It was sung at Anfield regularly whilst it held the No 1 spot in the pop music charts and was ultimately adopted by the faithful Liverpool home supporters at Anfield and has been popular ever since. Whilst Gerry & The Pacemakers made the song popular with their modern arrangement in 1963 and beyond, the song You'll Never Walk Alone was originally written by American composers Oscar Hammerstein II and by Richard Rodgers for their musical "Carousel", which was released in the USA in 1945.

Joel, as many other people have pointed out, the Hillsborough Disaster occurred in 1989. But Liverpool fans have been singing "You'll Never Walk Alone" since 1963, when the song was top of the UK Singles Charts. Before football games started, while waiting for kick-off, popular songs were played over loudspeakers in the stadium and the crowd would sing along to it. This song was a huge favourite and thus became the Liverpool Anthem as from the sixties. But as pointed out, it took on even greater importance following the Hillsborough Disaster.

Joel, you might be surprised to learn that it is in fact an American song from the great musical theatre partnership of Richard Rogers and Oscar Hammerstein- the same men who wrote Climb Every Mountain ( from The Sound of Music), that you reacted so emotionally to in a previous video. In Carousel, this song is sung by an older woman as she comforts a young woman, after they have witnessed the younger woman's lover, Billy, die in a knife fight. An odd journey- from the heart of class American Musical Theatre to the football stadiums in Britain! As others are commenting, it was had already been adopted by Liverpool fans a couple of decades earlier. In fact, Richard Rogers is reputed to have said " Shouldn't I be getting royalties for this?" But he was told it would be somewhat difficult to collect them in such circumstances, and that he should just be proud that one of his great anthems should have been adopted from such an unexpected place.

I really don't think you can connect the two incidents and I absolutely know that the young people who died in the Hillsborough disaster we're not the same people who were at the game you are talking about. English fans from a lot of clubs, and that includes Nottingham Forest, behaved appallingly during the 70s and 80s. At that time football was being infiltrated by awful organisations such as the National Front and they were present and obvious at a lot of the games where violence overtook the stadium. I am not going to pretend that football is sweet and innocent and the game today is a million miles from the game as it was in the 70s and 80s. The people involved in the incident you talk about were not football fans, we're not real Liverpool fans, they were hooligans who were there for one reason and one reason only, violence. With a lot of soul searching and a very determined effort by the Football Association and every single club involved, we have almost completely eliminated these worthless human beings from our game.

I was born in liverpool, everyone in my family are liverpool fans, it gets very emotional for us when it is played at a family funeral. In liverpool football or soccer is a way of life, its in ur blood. Its like our national anthem

[@speirryoung8797]

I was at the game in Brisbane when Liverpool came for a pre-season friendly, the entire stadium with both sets of fans were singing this song when it played, gave you goose bumps to be there, it is truly an atmosphere that I will never forget. (as you can tell by my picture, not a Liverpool fan)

[@nigelbailey4704]

As a Spurs fan I was at Hillsborough for a semi final match some years before the trajedy at the Leppings Lane end where so many fans lost their lives. It was hot and extremely crowded. When the trajedy happened it could so easily have been us those years before. This should remind us all that whateber club we support other fans are basicly the same - they love their club just as I do - they are sporting rivals not enemies - no room for hate in sport, or life in general. Great respect and sympathy to all those affected.

[@David-yl8yj]

Cheers mate,well said. I was at Hillsborough in 1988 and 1989. I think the Spurs game was 81 Thank again much appreciated

[@perrylindsay6682]

I also talked to a man utd fan who was at a semi final there and like you said he feared for his life in exactly the same way ,this could have happened at any time to any team ,so sad (liverpool fan)

[@simonwalsh8045]

This is from a pre season match in Australia. For Liverpool fans living in Australia, this may have been their first time watching their team play and so they made the most of the experience, passionately belting out You'll Never Walk Alone. Respect from a Man United fan. Nice reaction btw guys.

[@dougoneill7266]

This song was sung a long, long time before Hillsborough. it is also sung regularly by (Glasgow) Celtic, and Borussia Dortmund, as well as many others. The guy at about 4, 30 in the vis is Bob Paisley. one of the most successful managers in the history of football.

[@hodgie2292]

​@bobbybigboyyesTrevor hicks is the man singing in the crowd... not the man on the flag.... just to let you no...

[@SotonCueMan]

@bobbybigboyyes The legend on the flag is Bob Paisley - Liverpool manager from 1974-1983 winner of 6 league championships, 3 European cups plus other cups and honours. Liverpool's most successful manager who passed away in 1996.

[@hodgie2292]

@bobbybigboyyes 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 chill... I was just letting you know that you may have got the people mixed-up.. that's all.. didn't mean to offend you... lol

[@fay-amieaspen6046]

That's because the song dates back to 1945. It's from the Rodgers & Hammerstein Musical 'Carousel'. In 1963 Gerry & The Pacemakers recorded their version & being Liverpudlians from Liverpool naturally Liverpool FC fans have claimed it as their own.

[@chrispalmer7893]

@@garethfarman9540 You're a decent person for being prepared to change your mind and admit that you did so. The lies were effective because of the reputation football fans had at that time (I think we should make a distinction between football fans and soccer hooligans - anyone who goes to the match looking for a fight is no fan in my book). That said, I do think that the over-the-top lurid version of lies told by the paper I will not name were so vile that even at the time people should have been more skeptical.

I have been a supporter of Liverpool FC since 1977. I went to Liverpool to see a home game in Dec 2021 and I get goosebumps every time this song is played at Anfield. Even when I'm sitting at home watching a game on TV. To answer the question, yes this song is played at all Liverpool FC home games.

[@seanfoxhall6761]

Hey guys, thanks for covering Hillsborough, was a very sad day in English football. The player you see in the vid. is Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard who lost his 10yr old cousin that day & was the youngest person who died. A very sad day for the Liverpool community. Brings a tear everytime I hear the Liverpool crowd sing it ❤️. Best team & fans in the world btw 😉. Watch the champions league final in Istanbul if you can, Liverpool vs Milan, legendary game.

[@jneqjfkr]

Yes, the crowd sings it at every match, before and at the end. Everyone should attend a Liverpool Match at Anfield (Liverpool home Ground) at least once in their lives. Also, Liverpool is one of the friendliest cities in the world. YNWA !

[@Jeff-q4u]

It's a song that resonates throughout Liverpool as a whole, I used to work in a hospital in Liverpool and commute by train, one dull and drizzling morning someone started singing this song. Pretty quickly the whole train was singing it. We went to work smiling that day 🙂

[@DMGamanda]

Oh i love that - only up north. Im a southerner but i recognise our limitations (my mum is a northern lady so she would be the one singing and dancing etc while i sat in a corner being all buttoned up 😂)

[@JLaw954]

The Big Guy that you asked about is an image of Bob Paisley, the Liverpool manager at the time. This song is Liverpool's anthem and has been for many years before Hillsborough. It goes way back to the 1960s when the song was performed by Gerry Marsden. It is used to lift the spirits of the team, especially if they are losing. It IS stirring to be present in the crowd when they sing this together.

[@viewer47ful]

You'll never walk alone is sung by a group called Gerry and the Pacemakers. It has been Liverpool's song for as long as I can remember.The Hillsborough disaster took over 20yrs to finally admit that it was not the fault of the fans that people died. The police. emergency services failed to respond and save them. But the 'football' crowds have also been known as being rowdy, argumentative, and cause problems. Many fans of teams have been banned from games out of England.

[@Liverpoolboy01]

Police and politicians corruption. Lies and deceit . The the trash called the sun excuse for a newspaper.

[@scokeatia]

Great video Joel. That song is sung at every Liverpool game and the fans are exceptionally passionate about it. To answer Arturo's question about who the guy was on the big flag, his name was Bob Paisley and he was an ex Liverpool manager, who led them to many successes. Keep doing what you're doing Joel.

What makes this so special is this actually game was played at the MCG (Melbourne Cricket Ground) in Australia....as an Aussie i absolutely love this and also Liverpool is my oldest brother's favourite team.

[@SirNorm33]

This was during the pre season tour against Melbourne Victory in Melbourne. Almost 100,000 fans in that stadium all singing YNWA, gives me goosebumps every time! But yes, this is performed by the fans at every home match and has been since the 1960's.

[@WillBabitt]

I’m a Leeds UTD fan and I must admit that hearing Liverpools fans in full voice has given me goosebumps on occasion. We all mourn the fans who lost their lives at in Sheffield on that fateful day. The police were a shameful mess.

[@luf8699]

Yes, Liverpool fans will sing you’ll never walk alone at every game. They are extremely passionate about their football.

I saw this on live tv,the disaster,and at some point my brain cut out and I sort of came back an hour and 20 minutes later still sitting in front of the tv. Very traumatic and depressing,and I wasnt even there! The other teams fans didnt realise what was happening and carried on with their football chants. When they did realise some tried to cross the pitch to assist,but the police wouldnt let them. Horrible.

This song always brings emotion..im not a fan or a scouser even..its beautiful.

[@colinworthington8712]

I’m a Liverpool season ticket holder. Very lucky to get two seats together at Anfield. I can confirm, we’ve sung that song ever since Gerry and the Pacemakers brought it out in the 60’s, and Liverpool fans adopted it. When we sing it well, in time, as one, it is an incredibly emotional experience. My mother died on February 9th 2019. We had a home game that day. I went to the match knowing that Mum was in a better place and there was nothing else I could do for her until the funeral. We sang our anthem, and the tears streamed down . . . couldn’t help it. It was as if 54,000 scousers sang it for her. Unforgettable.

[@gemmabarnes]

Even though not from Liverpool it's the Liverpool team's anthem proud to support them

[@bobjuke4216]

Merseybeat band Gerry and The Pacemakers had a UK No1 hit with this song in 1963 and it was adopted by The Kop at Anfield who joined in with it when the song was played over the tannoy before the beginning of the game. It's been sung by Liverpool fans before every match at Anfield since. . The End
