Legendary Irish folk musician Pete St. John, who wrote the song that inspired Liverpool’s “The Fields of Anfield Road” chant, has died aged 90.
The Dublin-based singer-songwriter wrote and composed “The Fields of Athenry” in 1979, before it was eventually adapted by supporters at Anfield.
It was announced on Saturday that St. John, who also wrote “The Rare Ould Times” and “The Ferryman”, had died at the Beaumont Hospital in Dublin, earlier that day.
