Liverpool fans on The Kop were one of the first groups of supporters to sing popular songs at football matches, and one of the first songs they adopted for the club was Youâll Never Walk Alone. The song was written by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein, who wrote it for their musical Carousel in 1945.
Liverpool fans on the Kop would sing along, but unlike with other hit singles, once You'll Never Walk Alone dropped out of the top-ten, instead of disregarding the song, supporters continued to sing it. The song was adopted by Scottish team Celtic after a 1966 Cup Winners Cup semi-final against Liverpool at Anfield.
