Is it just me who thinks there is more pressure on Liverpool in tmoro's game than beforehand ?

Because now everybody believes you, get it done.

YNWA started after the Uefa Cup final in Germany a few years ago - 2001. Liverpool fans sang it for an hour after the final whistle and it made the papers the next day. In 2003 Celtic went over in another tie and the club they were facing sang it back to them (can't remember who now).

Some older LFC fans I know say it started in the 70s but unconfirmed.

I remember YNWA being a thing before 2001 like.

Started in the 60s I'd imagine.

Sorry I meant in Germany since 2001 although rumours from older fans that they had German fans singing it in 1977.

popular song!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/You%27ll_Never_Walk_Alone

The song is also sung at association football clubs around the world, where it is performed by a massed chorus of supporters on matchday; this tradition began at Liverpool Football Club in the early 1960s and has continued to be a signature tradition for Liverpool fans

The song was later adopted by Scottish team Celtic F.C.,[13] Dutch teams Feyenoord, FC Twente and SC Cambuur,[17] Germany's Borussia Dortmund, Mainz 05, 1. FC Kaiserslautern, Borussia Mönchengladbach, Alemannia Aachen, FC St Pauli, SV Darmstadt 98,[18] Belgium's Club Brugge, Japan's F.C. Tokyo,[19] Spain's CD Lugo.[20] and the Marist St. Pats MSP 80/80 Blues.

The song is also often played at the games of Medvescak Zagreb hockey club[

Living 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.

My Granda says Celtic sang it before Liverpool.  I'm happy to take his word given he was going to the football since the 40's. 

Regardless its a great song, still doesnt make up for Liverpool fans nicking Fields of Athenry ;-)

My Granddad remembers Liverpool singing YNWA in the 1920s, a few decades before Rogers and Hammerstein wrote the song.

My great grandad was called M C Hammerstein. Massive red, used to rap YNWA to his son who went on to write the version we know today.

Reading the first page or two of this thread I see it started in 2005, before the semi final with Chelsea, but then after the semifinal, stopped for 4 years with no mention of actually winning the thing! Was there another thread?

Various others. No idea why this one in particular came back to life.
