Back in the day i think most clubs sung it. Its iconic Liverpool tho and SoL is totally unique/
Sunshine on Leith - is ours.. http://www.hibs.net/images/smilies/thumbs%20up.gif

Sunshine on Leith is in a class of its own compared to the other football anthems, including YNWA.
So glad to have it as our own.

Agreed. SOL is streets ahead of YNWA. Two teams (possibly more?) sing YNWA for a start

YNWA is utter cringe :sick:, even our 'speeded up' 80's disco version (You'll Never Walk Again) was better :) SoL is tops just ahead of 500 miles, YNWA maybe possibly scrapes in to the top 10(just) FACT :agree:

SOL is specific and can't be effectively used elsewhere, and therefore is better.
SOL is always at the end of my marathon (or half) playlist and there is no better song to hear at tht moment.

We sang YNWA up till the 90s. I think it was sung at Hampden during Skol Cup final celebrations 1991. I'm guessing we probably stopped singing it shortly after that , maybe mid 90s, but till then it was certainly sung at big games and to celebrate big wins.
SOL is uniquely ours and its impossible for any other club to hijack it. The response from other fans worldwide to it says it all. There is no contest with YNWA, SOL every time.

YNWA was recorded in 1963 by Gerry and the Pacemakers, was played at half time couple of times and very quickly was adopted by Liverpool fans as "their song".

It is a bloody awful piece of mawkish musical theatre! Sunshine on Leith trumps it in every way and glad we have such a unique and genuine song that we can emotionally connect to that means something about our team and it's place in the world and not a borrowed Rogers and Hammerstein show tune...

Think you need to stop being so precious.
You posted something, someone disagreed with it.
Do you really think before doing so they looked at your post count and though "ha, ha 200 posts I will show this novice how the big boys play"
They just didn't agree with you, I am 70/30 against your viewpoint on the topic but that's my response to the topic not you.

Always embarrassing when fans of any club other than Liverpool sing YNWA. Means nothing other than they’ve ripped off a decent football anthem. Glad we stopped that nonsense.

YNWA is as much Liverpool's as SOL is ours. Always cringe when the most unoriginal team in world football (Celtic) sing it. Even worse when they do the cheesy sing along with Liverpool with the half and half scarves etc. Leave it for bloody Liverpool.

Yeah, have to admit for a club who talk themselves up so much, their very obvious and brass-necked appropriation of anothet club's anthem always makes me cringe a wee bit.
Great song though, and would love to visit anfield for a big game to hear it in its natural setting.

Both fantastic. Both transcend football. SoL can't be appropriated by anyone else. I don't much like Liverpool but make no mistake YNWA is their song and hearing it from the Kop is one of the great things about football.

Back in the early days of Hibs.net a similar discussion flushed out a Celtic fan who was willing to tell everyone that YNWA was written by a Celtic fan in the 1950's and was sung by Celtic fans before Liverpool got a hold it.
He was asked which one of Rogers and Hammerstein supported Celtic but didn't hang around long enough to provide answer.

YNWA wasn’t written for Liverpool though.
The only reason it ‘belongs’ to Liverpool is that Gerry and the Pacemakers covered it - it isn’t even their song.
On this point, SoL WINS!

You'll Never Walk Alone isn't a patch on Sunshine On Leith.
One song is unique to one football club, the other one is sung by fans of numerous clubs across the world.
One song was written and performed by two fans of the club that has adopted it, the other one was initially released as part of a musical and had no links to football.
One song is about the area in which the football team that has adopted it comes from, the other one isn't about the area that the club comes from.
As far as football anthems go, Sunshine On Leith really ticks all the boxes that You'll Never Walk Alone can only dream about.

It’s the history of the song that makes it one of the greats.
In the same way that SoL was made even more poignant after the Mercer takeover attempt, and then us enduring and eventually breaking one of the longest hoodoos in sport.

Yes it was but he is right, it was recorded by Gerry and the Pacemakers in 63 which brought it to the fore as an anthem for Liverpool.
SOL means nothing to most football fans unless they follow Hibs. YNWA is world renowned. Both are special to certain people, SOL is as special to me when watching Hibs as YNWA is to me when watching Liverpool.
