Us highland lads Auch aye the noo And there's 4 of us and only 2 of you So if you want nae trouble And you don't want a slap! You better teach us the anfield rap
Im not a Liverpool fan, but this is by far and away the best footy song/video ever! 'My names John Barn-es, when I do my thing the crowd goes bananas'- Brilliant
My respect and MANY Christmas wishes to you friend... as a Liverpool fan myself, it is something o receive such respect from other supporters! Hope all is well for you and yours... Cheers
i must of played this 200 times and more on my mum and dads record player..sat there with my liverpool kit on..i even had the liverpool trainers!!..i loved this liverpool team.y'know watching this after all these years makes me realise what amazing team spirit and comradery they had.it reminds me of the spanish team or barcelona in many ways..i also remember crying when wimbeldon beat us in the final..when the f.a cup really was special.great days and hopefully many more ahead for the redmen )
Just imagine all the feminists going crazy for "I'm big Down Under but my wife disagrees" or middle class SJWs taking offence to John Barnes saying "bananas" because he's black lol. Back when the world was tolerable
I love Steve McMahons voice! It's so massive! And it's almost impossible to see the difference between Ian Rush and Aldo when he's wearing caps and sunglasses!
I still remember this. Loved Diggers rap and Bruce whispered LFC was brilliant. Scouse lads Aldo and Steve McMahon priceless. Even King Kenny made an appearance. Best part for me was Shanks in the background 😊
This was Liverpool at they’re peak 😂 they were that good they were making music videos in their spare time between matches rather than training 😂 they really were the best team in the world for a good 10/15 years, pains me to admit it.
Thing is, whoever you support, you’ve got to respect that this was a great moment to look back on. I remember when it came out well. Everyone was singing it. Top flight footballers, making fun of themselves. They were real characters and personalities. Down to earth guys. You’d never get that now.
Can I be a little woke for a second - apart from the absolute quality of the song, I do love the fact the song embraces how players from all over the world can get together to embrace being adoptive Scouse.
Liverpool for life!!! I'll always show my love for the team. No matter what position they in. Even of they were facing relegation (of course thats not going to happen in my lifetime), I'd still shw my support.
Best old rap video on youtube...makes me smile every time i watch it! Now watch out for the modern day one when the King brings all the British superstars to the team!
The reason it wouldn't work doing a remake is this was done for a laugh whereas today's footballers (not just Liverpool) would take themselves too seriously
John Barnes, for me, was the greatest ever player to put on the red shirt of Liverpool. I would put him ahead of Dalglish for the sheer audacity of skills and goals he scored.
Not a Liverpool fan, but watching this makes me realise what footy was really like back in the day. All these foreign players now have alienated the English premier league.
@@morgangriffiths7969 no they weren't, this was pre Fergie when United were like Everton are now, always in 6th place down, never challenging for honours, with shite managers like Ron Atkinson there. Everton, Forest, Villa, Arsenal, Norwich, they were all superior to United then. I can tell you this honestly, but I didn't know a single Man United fan back then, and I lived in Manchester. They were all City fans, or a few Liverpool, but mostly they were Wigan and St Helens. Rugby fans basically. But as soon as United got Cantona, they all jumped on the bandwagon. Plastic fans, even the older guys. People forget United were pretty much irrelevant from the early 70s to the early 90s. They won the odd domestic cup here and there, but it was Liverpool, Leeds, Forest, Villa and Everton dominating the league, and Villa, Forest and Liverpool blowing everyone away in Europe. United didn't get a look in til they won the cup winners cup, and after that they begun their domination. Funnily enough, they're now going back to the shite, average club they were before Fergie. Full circle. And as soon as Newcastle get taken over, United will fall further behind the top 4-6. Liverpool, City, Spurs, Wolves, Everton and Newcastle, they'll be the top 6 in a few years time, Arsenal, Chelsea and United will fall right away. Mark my words, come back to this comment in 2025 and see if I'm wrong.
To me one of the last greatest underated 80s football songs by LFC the anfield rap from 1988 to me as a LFC fan as an old skool supporter i will back this brilliant track and will take the b.s.this track led to John Barnes doing the legendary rap on World in Motion before i go the late Derek B remixed the Anfield rap back in the day Walk on with your hope in your heart and you will never walk alone.

Back in the day when if you had a player from Scotland it was considered being diverse
Back to TOday when sitting on an English bench gets you a Scotland cap, sad truth!
That's how it was in the pre globalised world. Only Irish, Welsh and Scottish players used to play in the English leagues.
LFC were the first to field a team that consisted entirely of non English nationals.

Grobellars bars on this are sick. It's be great if teams still did this. Strurridge spitting bars like a roadman n Coutinho backing him up.
messthetics no
They'll both be gone in January lol
But yeah I'd love to see Mignolet drop a diss track on David De Gea

It just occurred to me - this looks so much like the opening credits to Fresh Prince of Bel Air.

The crowd goes bananas!
I love this so much! Some fantastic memories.
Shared this 10 years ago on Facebook according to memories on Facebook. Don't recognize this at all 😂 I must have been mad drunk.
Apart from "World In Motion", best football song ever. John Barnes - Bananas. Excellent

Transports me straight back to my youth in the summer, playing footy in the street with all the lads...council estate memories 💔💯
this is class. i have heard klopp likes his rock music, maybe he should record a tune with the scorpions when liverpool get to another final
I'm not given to hyperbole, but this is the greatest thing that has ever happened. Not just musically, but anything. Ever.
Swine Art it’s not
That was the good old days where if teams got into a final they would bring a song out.. {>¿
Lol! Franny! 4 years ago!
i didnt knew i could love liverpool more until now
Undoubtedly the best rap song ever made. Classic!👌
As a scouser and a Liverpool fan, I think this bloody brilliant. Y.N.W.A 96
Remember this like it was only last year loved it 😂❤
Need a new one with some Hip Klopp.
This was Liverpool at they’re peak 😂 they were that good they were making music videos in their spare time between matches rather than training 😂 they really were the best team in the world for a good 10/15 years, pains me to admit it.

Brilliant, when the RedMen were ace. Utd didn't exist back then 👊
actually they were also one of the biggest clubs at the time so they definitely existed
Ha ha, Liverpool won the trophies in the 80s, but they hardly ever got a win against United in those days.
And now it's gone full circle cos they don't exist again, and Liverpool are in their second European final in 2 years. Funny how things go in circles.
