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.
One year later, when Liverpool met Leeds United in the F.A. Cup final, the travelling Kop sang the same song and match commentator Kenneth Wolstenholme commended the Liverpool signature tune. Liverpudlians have been singing 'You'll Never Walk Alone' since 1963.Fully 44 years. Celtic sang it on one or two occasions during the 1970s, along with several other British clubs, specifically during crucial cup games.iverpudlians have been singing 'You'll Never Walk Alone' since 1963.
