Answer 1

Don't know Jarra,and also don't much care its a great song and there,s room for both sets of supporters to sing it,was great when we sang it together,also when Gerry Marsden sang it at Celtic Park.

Answer 2

This Question keeps coming up, and personally I do not believe we will ever find out who was first, as all the signs point to Liverpool even the article about the song at Wikipedia, They say "it was first sung at Liverpool FC when the song was recorded by Gerry and the Pacemakers in 1963", this has been confirmed by a Liverpool Spokeswoman, and then Celtic FC are supposed to have adopted it later (no date known) Then today I read about a Grandmother who lived in Manchester & often went to watch Manchester United play and she can remember going just after the Munich Tragedy in 1958 and with a group of friends they started to sing YNWA in respect of those Footballers who had died, and the whole of Old Trafford joined in. Not that I am trying to put a claim on the song, just stating what I have read today.

Answer 3

While many Celtic fan-based websites provide the words to You'll Never Walk Alone, and it features on the CD Green & White Anthems, there is no historical evidence that Celtic fans sang it on their terraces first. Instead, a cursory glance back in time shows that Liverpool have the much stronger claims.
After all, the song, originally written by Rodgers and Hammerstein in 1945 for the Broadway musical Carousel, only became a terrace favourite after it was covered by Gerry and the Pacemakers in November 1963. Almost immediately - as footage from Panorama in 1964 shows - Liverpool supporters adopted it.
--------------
Gerry And The Pacemakers had included the song in their stage act for a long time. When they decided to record it as their third single, producer George Martin enhanced the song by adding strings. When it topped the UK chart, they became the first act to reach #1 in the UK with their first 3 singles. Soon afterwards it was adopted by the fans of Liverpool Football Club as the club's anthem.
