"I've failed to come up with evidence to support my belief that it was the Celtic faithful. I'd appreciate any information which serves to conclude this dispute once and for all."Last week we thought it was definitely the Liverpool fans who sang in first. Not so, reckons Alasdair, who is looking to blast a hole in this commonly held theory. "Your research fails to mention that there was a popular Perry Como version of the song in 1957 which went down a bomb in the Glasgow music halls," he says. You can almost feel the beating of pigeons' wings as the cat is put amongst them.However Stephen Smith points to Adrian Thrills' pro-Liverpool reference in his 1998 book, You're Not Singing Anymore, wherein the author quotes the oft-cited tendency for Liverpool supporters to sing chart toppers of the day."Thrills is the ex-Editor of "Goal", writes for the Daily Mail and a Londoner, so this makes him more objective than either Liverpudlians or Celtic fans (who usually can't remember if they're Scots or Irish and only ever remember they're British when the European Cup's ancient history is mentioned!)," he says.Thrills writes: "Inspired ... partly by the emerging strains of the beat boom that was sweeping the port's nightclubs, the 28,000 souls who stood on the Kop started to express themselves with passionate versions of pop hits such as "She Loves You" by The Beatles, "I Like It" by Freddie & The Dreamers and "Anyone Who Had A Heart" by Cilla Black."You'll Never Walk Alone", the song that was to become their anthem, was written by Rodgers & Hammerstein for the musical 'Carousel', but adopted by the Kop after Gerry & The Pacemakers charted with the track in 1963."Sounds convincing to us. But that's not all. Dennis O'Neill, who stood in the Jungle at Celtic Park in the 1970s, cannot recall any occasion when it was sung in his presence, saying that it was looked on as a "distinctly English" song. "That was 30 years ago, though, so I could be very wrong, " he concedes Also Liverpool or Celtic: who Walked Alone first?Send your questions - to the.boss@guardian.co.uk and we'll do our best to helpJessica Aldred and Sean IngleWednesday March 12, 2003Living in an area with a large contingent of Liverpool fans, writes Damian, who lives in Chester should you be wondering, I'm constantly being drawn into debates about who sang You'll Never Walk Alone first. I've failed to come up with evidence to support my belief that it was the Celtic faithful. I'd appreciate any information which serves to conclude this dispute once and for all.While many Celtic fan-based websites provide the words to You'll Never Walk Alone, and it features on the CD Green & White Anthems, there is no historical evidence that Celtic fans sang it on their terraces first. Instead, a cursory glance back in time shows that Liverpool have the much stronger claims.After all, the song, originally written by Rodgers and Hammerstein in 1945 for the Broadway musical Carousel, only became a terrace favourite after it was covered by Gerry and the Pacemakers in November 1963. Almost immediately - as footage from Panorama in 1964 shows - Liverpool supporters adopted it.As Paul Fields points out: "Before the early 60s football fans made noise and occasionally chanted something brief (like Play Up Pompey!) but it was the Kop that started singing popular songs of the day (mainly Merseybeat songs such as Gerry and the Pacemakers' You'll Never Walk Alone) and later started to adapt the lyrics of songs to celebrate the team and its players."If any Celtic fans still claim that they sang it first, it would have to predate Gerry's version. Now can you really see thousands of working class Glaswegians in the 50s/early 60s spontaneously joining in a sing-along from a Rodgers and Hammerstein musical?" No, us neither.
we sung YNWA firstwe won the european cup first (in U.K.)we did the huddle firstwe introduced the 1 minutes applause first (as opposed to the 1 minutes silence)we set the trends and others follow
All u had 2 do was look at the riot that was nearly caused by Rangers doing it after an old firm, i think that shows (by mimicking us) that even Rangers fans know its ours, if u dont then u in denial or sumthin......and the reason 4 the use of scum is coz i hate evrything British, hav never classed myself British and never will, u dont c Celtic making big tri-colours at Paradise.
