    Just a minor correction. YNWA was the official anthem of Liverpool FC before the Hillsborough disaster but took on an even more poignant meaning afterwards. It was an emotional song already but hearing it with the context gets at the heart even more.
    It is sung before every Liverpool game and, as shown by this video, is the common voice between Liverpool fans all over the world

      YNWA was written by Rogers and Hammerstein (1945). However, it rose to be the LFC anthem after it was released by a Liverpool Group called Gerry and the Pacemakers in 1963 (part of the Merseybeat).
      Liverpool has a long history of working class entertainers and families creating entertainment for themselves and fellow neighbours etc. so the vocal comradeship at Anfield is an extension of that general Scouse culture. I fondly remember my trips up to Liverpool to visit my family and enjoying the mix of music and comedy.

    The 'man on the banner' was Bob Paisley who was the manager of Liverpool FC in the 1970's and 80's, he took over from the legendary Bill Shankly, the manager that built the club through the 60s into the mid 70s.
    The song 'You'll Never Walk Alone' (originally from the Rogers & Hammerstein musical 'Carousel') was recorded and released by Liverpool band Gerry & The Pacemakers in 1964. It was played alongside other pop records before the game over the sound system. The fans took the song as their anthem, and would sing it each game with passion, and have done ever since.
    The Hillsborough disaster in 1989 had a huge impact on the club and the city of LIverpool. The ongoing reparations and recovery over the decades only adds to the poignancy and togetherness of the fans, which is evident when they come together, face adversity, or celebrate as you see them doing here.

      To add insult to injury too from day one it was spun that it was our supporters that caused the tragedy. But the families etc didn't give up and got justice that everything was covered up and spun falsely. I cried on the day....I cried more for the acknowledgement of the truth. Scouse and proud... always will be a red !!! I dream of the day I can go home, go to a game and be a voice in tears for our song. I've loved this song for ever. Even bought a poster of the gate with the words to hang above my bed. The irony...it was in transit when Gerry passed. My aunt knew Gerry in their youth when they both performed in clubs.

    This was a hit from the Liverpudlian group Gerry & The Pacemakers during the 60s.
    It was originally from the Rogers & Hammerstein musical Carousel.
    My brothers are lifelong Liverpool FC supporters, and when we lost my big bro to cancer two yrs ago, his dying wishes were to have everyone either wearing LFC shirts, or something LFC Red, at his funeral and his ashes scattered in the memorial garden for the Hillsborough victims. Which we did.
    And a few weeks ago, my little bro, took his 8yr old football obsessed son to see his very first live LFC match and to visit our brothers memorial paving brick at Anfield.
    I've never been into football, (heard too many arguments growing up, between my three bros and their dad, on who's the best team! 2 are LFC to the core, and the other is Arsenal, and their dad is Leeds.), but despite not being a footy fan, I do respect the sentiment behind this song, and it always fills my heart to hear the passion the fan sing with.

      Too many lives were needlessly wasted that day. It breaks my heart that a fun day out, to see your team in action, could end in such a tradigy. And then to have those to blame denying their part in what happened that day was wrong. All those years fighting in court playing the Shaggy game, aka "it wasn't me!" Making the poor families relive their worst day over and over in court wasn't right. All the families wanted was for someone to accept their part in the tradigy that day.
      My heart goes out to the families of those who died that day. And to those fans that survived, had to live through such a shocking day. RIP

My heart goes out to all. The police chief had so much to answer too after blaming the fans. RIP the 96 xx😢

    You'll Never Walk Alone was adopted by Liverpool Supporters in 1963 when Liverpool Band Gerry & The Pacemakers released thier version of the song. 'The Spion Kop' is a stand at the home of Liverpool Football clubs Stadium 'Anfield' Which is one of the most vocal and loudest stands in world football... all the football greats over the years want to play a game at Anfield just so they can experience the atmosphere. Celtic (Scotland) and Borussia Dortmund (Germany) also adopted this Anthem. It became more meaningful after the Hillsborough disaster in 1989 because of the lyrics, it just fits so perfectly with what happened and what the city went through in the aftermath. The greatest injustice amd cover up by the authorities who told lies to lay blame on the supporters. It took a 25 year fight from the families if those that died and the survivors to clear our name and prove our innocence. The Justice for the 96 campaign was very tough and still those to blame have not been brought to justice or been punished even after they lied about what happened. 96 deaths recently became 97 when a survivor succumbed to his injuries all these years later.
    If you ever visit the UK let me know and I'll get you a ticket for a Liverpool match. I worked for the club for 10 years. Thank you for the great videos

      As a Liverpool season ticket holder, I couldn't agree more with this comment! We maybe bitter rivals on the pitch but both sets of 'true' supporters understand the heartache and pain both clubs have suffered over the years. For most decent supporters of both clubs there is a unspoken respect in this regard. I know a lot of United/Liverpool fans who echo your sentiments.
      And on a side note, those fans who sing tradegy songs (and there are just as many Liverpool fans as United fans) are not true supporters of their teams, as they are asked on many occasions from their clubs to refrain from singing such disrespectful and hurtful songs.

    They couldn't get out of the stadium, JT - because the emergency exits behind had been chained shut to prevent people getting in without a ticket - and the crush arose from those at the back panicking to climb over the fences at the front, that had been erected to prevent pitch invasions - and despite the police advising everyone to stay where they were... I remember watching the news that evening - and it was one of those occasions when there just was no other news, save for two or three headlines read out at the end and then - just as the credits started to come up, there was a aerial view from the central lantern tower of Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral, where an ecumenical Requiem Mass was being held... Naturally, there wasn't a square inch of floor space that was unoccupied - it was as if the entire city had packed in there that night - and they were all singing, "Abide with Me," with just the same fervour. I imagine tears would have flowed from the eyes of the entire nation, that night.
    And on a happier occasion, as the late Queen Elizabeth II and much of the Royal Family stood on the balcony of Buckingham Palace at the end of the celebration weekend for her Diamond Jubilee in 2012 - but without Prince Philip who'd been admitted to hospital as a precaution the day before; parts of the crowd in The Mall burst into the chorus of 'You'll never Walk Alone'... Although Prince Philip was found to be in good health on that occasion and was back home with her the next day, I just felt so proud to be there and to be British at that point - telling, and gently reassuring our much-loved Queen that whatever happened, she'd never walk alone. Needless to say, I cried on that occasion, too!

      @Tom89911 Yes, that was the jubilee where they had choirs leading lots of singing which was played over the PA system; and it was one of many songs that had been used earlier. This was in just a part of the crowd waiting for the final balcony appearance when the National Anthem was sung and seemed to be fairly spontaneous. I've not seen any online footage of it - I guesstimate cameras were focused on different areas at that time.

You'll Never Walk Alone has been our anthem since the 1960s. This version was sung by 95,000 Australians at the Melbourne Cricket Ground when Liverpool played a pre-season friendly in 2014.

    Liverpool had 'adopted' the song way before the disaster. It was no.1 in the British charts in 1963, and Gerry and the Pacemakers who sang it were from Liverpool. I can vividly remember that day, it was a Saturday and suddenly there was chaos all over the tv, I couldn't believe what I was seeing, absolutely horrible. The police were blamed for bad policing but the Liverpool fans stampeded into the ground as soon as the gates were opened. The song makes me want to cry every time I hear it. A terrible tradgedy.

This song has made me cry for years even before that day. YNWA and Ferry bring on bouts of home sickness. I always say you can take me away from the Mersey but you can't take the Mersey out of me. Liverpool and Merseyside (since I'm a Wirral girl) will always be home. The waterfront, Three Graces, are still my favorite skyline on the planet. I don't want to see the world, I dream of touring the UK all the places I've been and the ones I never have. Been outside the Cavern but never inside.

    2:27 the person on the flag is Bob Paisley. So the history of Liverpool Football Club revolves around a handful of special men. More so than any other football club. The first is Bill Shankly who took over the club when we were in the second division and pulled us out of it and made us champions of England and brought us our first ever FA Cup in 1965 back when the FA Cup was bigger than the league itself. He would win us 3 leagues, 2 FA Cups and the UEFA Cup (Europa League) which was our first European trophy. He literally transformed the landscape of the club from second division mediocrity to having a championship pedigree that remains to this day. He was the foundation. When he stepped down his right hand man, Bob Paisley (man in the flag) stepped up as manager and took us to the next level. He built on what Shankly had done and delivered us 3 European Cups (Champions Leagues) as well as 6 league titles. Shankly pulled us out of the depths of obscurity and showed us how to win. Paisley covered us in European glory.

    You should check out the Last Night of the Proms. The Proms are a series of classical music concerts that are held throughout the summer each year. On the last night, everyone sings patriotic songs, waves flags (Union Jacks mainly) and jigs up and down. Check out: "Rule Britannia" (Sarah Connelly sings the best rendition dressed as an Admiral) or "Land of Hope and Glory" by Edward Elgar. Some hymns that are sometimes sung are "I Vow To Thee My Country" or "Jerusalem". It's held at The Royal Albert Hall. Those who can't get in because the venue is full, watch the concert on huge screens all across London and major cities throughout the U.K. They will join in with the singing and flag waving too. The atmosphere is phenomenal.

It proves what many of us already knew, that you have a big heart and you wear it on your sleeve. You should watch the video that was shown as a thumbnail when it ended. Its in black and white on purpose and has ordinary people of Liverpool singing it but its Gerry Marsdens voice of the original recording you hear, its very touching. I was in tears too.

Then Liverpool fans began singing it at matches, it has been the LFC Anthem ever since. I always liked the song but after Hillsborough it just hit harder.
    Glasgow Celtic also adopted it and Borussia Dortmund from Germany also sing it (I'm not sure how often though). I'm sure there are others

    You'll Never Walk Alone is not just for Hillsboro'. The song comes from The musical "Carousel", Liverpool Fc have been singing it from at least the 1960's when Gerry and the Pacemakers a top Merseyside group had a hit with it. They also had a hit with "Ferry 'cross the
    Mersey", which is played on our ferries. The greatest ever "You'll Never Walk Alone" is probably to come on 19th May when we have our last game of this season, and the last for our "beloved" manager Jurgen Klopp, he is leaving us after 9 year's. He is the greatest manager and man. Klopp is an honorary Scouser.

    When the song ‘you’ll never walk alone’ was released by Gerry and the Pacemakers it charted at number 1 and before the game, the UK top 10 would be played and once the song was out of the top 10 fans requested that it was still played and became Liverpool’s anthem but took on more meaning with the footballing disasters which happened in the 1980s, most prominently Hillsborough but also Heysel as well (which shouldn’t be forgotten)
