      Walk On - The story of You'll Never Walk Alone - Official Trailer

      Walk On - The Story of You'll Never Walk Alone
      The story of one song and its extraordinary power - from post war Broadway to LFC's famous Kop. Show-tune - Hit - Anthem - Prayer. YNWA

      This moving, passionate documentary chronicles the journey and extraordinary power of one song - Rodgers & Hammerstein's classic 'You'll Never Walk Alone', a song that started its life as a Broadway show-tune, but through its adoption by Liverpool Football Club's famous Kop would grow to become the song for any crowd, movement or cause.

      We tell the story of how the crowd at Anfield took the song to its heart and in doing so transformed the sound of football, signalling the start of a new terrace culture.

      On the 50th anniversary of Gerry and the Pacemakers' version of the song reaching number one, and in the same year that Bill Shankly would have marked his 100th birthday, Tabacula Films have produced a documentary charting the history of why Liverpool fans picked this song as their anthem and how the song has now spread the world over, sung in both defeat and victory.

      Presented by Kelly Cates, the film features Liverpool legends Kenny Dalglish, Steven Gerrard, Jamie Carragher and Ian St John, plus many others.

      You'll Never Walk Alone,Anfield and Liverpool Football Club are the envy of every other football club worldwide.I think back to the days on the old KOP prior to Gerry Marsden making this song a hitand our way of cheering the REDS on was clap,clap clap Liverpool.Thanks for your post Kate,well done. :kop5cf8koxp6:

      Cheers Billy, I came across the trailer yesterday and I loved the idea these guys have, it's great to tell the story of how this song became our anthem, I know I was amazed few years ago when I found out it was actually originating from a musical. I am very proud of it as a Red and I think it's great that things like this are made.

       Kate I might of led you astray a little bit,the first song that was sung by the Kop and the Anfield  crowd was when we signed Ian StJohn and it was When The Saints Go marching In.The clap,clap,clap Liverpool was prior to this.Sorry if I misinformed you :kop5cf8koxp6:.

      Isn't there another team that uses this song as it's anthem? Besides Celtic.

      This all over the show.

      The likes of Sky hate us as we've got balls to fight back against certain media relations.

      Brilliant work though. Push it forward!

      which really annoys me when #spurs use the song for their morbid rendition.

      I thought one of the earliest, after the clap clap clap era, was...
                      'we're  gonna win the cup, we're gonna win the cup,  ee ay addio we're gonna win the cup' 1965

      We signed St John in 1961,still in the old 2nd division,the Saint and big Rowdy Yates brought the Kop to life.Hence when the Saints go marching in,that's how I remember it anyway. :kop5cf8koxp6: :scarf:
