The Kop end at Liverpool first started the trend of singing at football matches in 1963. At that time the mersey groups (Beatles, Merseybeats, Gerry & The Pacemakers etc.) were in their prime and the supporters just sang these groups' hits as they identified with them. On the first "match of the day" which was Liverpool v Arsenal, you can clearly hear the Kop singing "She Loves You". It just happened that "You'll never walk alone" fitted so well with the swaying of scraves and stuff and so this song was retained long after the others were discarded by the football fans. The travelling supporters of Liverpool took the songs on the road with them and before long everyone had copied them and made up their own at the same time.

The song is called "You'll Never Walk Alone" from Caousel. Liverpool fans sang it first, 'though I don't know how to prove it.
Manchester United fans used to sing "You'll Never Walk Again" which says a lot for them in the 1960's.

Gerry and the Pacemakers sang it first!
They are from Liverpool, so it must have been Liverpool's song first, and I'm a Liverpool fan and I say so!

Honestly, I don't know, but I'd like to think it was Liverpool's anthem first.
Have a look here

All the evidence points to Liverpool I'm glad to say

Marc Cohn wrote and recorded it in 1991 based on experiences during a 1986 trip to Memphis. Since then Lonestar and Cher have covered it. Springsteen never recorded it, although it is frequently misattributed to him.
