You’ll Never Walk Alone – The origins of one of football’s most famous songs

Liverpool squad and backroom staff celebrate in front of the Kop after winning the UEFA Champions league semi-final second leg football match between Liverpool and Barcelona 4-0 at Anfield in Liverpool, north west England on May 7, 2019.

You'll Never Walk Alone is a song that is synonymous with emotional renditions sung by Liverpool, Borussia Dortmund and Celtic supporters, with the three clubs adopting the classic to be played before home games.

First released in 1945, Gerry and the Pacemakers adapted You'll Never Walk Alone in 1963 to a song of their own, which has since taken on a life much bigger than the band could have ever imagined.
