LFC The Anfield Song Book, Buku LFC, Books, Official Product!

Stood shoulder to shoulder, scarves held aloft, the images of Liverpool Supporters singing You'll Never Walk Alone before a game at Anfield are some of the most famous in football. Wherever you are in the world, if you hear that song you think of Liverpool Football Club, of Anfield, of the Kop in full voice. Rodgers and Hammerstein may have wrote it, and Gerry Marsden took it to number one in the charts, but it is the supporters of Liverpool FC who have made it world famous.

It is Anfield's anthem, The motto on our badge. A Kopite's calling card. A song sung with passion, desire, defiance and emotion. But You'll Never Walk Alone is far from the only song to pass from the collective lips of Liverpool supporters. It is simply the most famous of hundreds of songs and chants that have passed through the collective lips of Liverpudlians over the years. That singing culture has played a significant part in creating Anfield's unique aura and making the Kop the most famous stand in football. Collective chanting and singing at football matches is taken for granted now, but before the early 1960s that wasn't the case. It all changed in Anfield in 1963/64.

With the Beatles taking the Mersey Sound around the world and Bill Shankly's Liverpookl en-route to winning the league, those on the Kop wanted to shout about it. So they did, en-masse, with up to 28,000 singing and swaying along to whatever was played over the PA System before kick-off. It was communal karaoke, the like of which has never been seen before in English Football, with the natural scouse wit soon lending itself to adapting the words to well known tunes to expressing admiration for their heroes and distain for opponents. And so the sound of Anfield resonated around the world and the Liverpool FC songbook began. The partisan vocal backing our players have received during the course of our history has been a significant factor in making us English football's most successful club.
