Not like Celtic fans to steal something from us.

[Eyrie]

They'll be claiming it as one of their own songs next.

Not just us.

The way they misappropriated "You'll Never Walk Alone" is shameless.

I'm no Liverpool fan but that song should be theirs and theirs alone, to acknowledge and remember Hillsborough IMO

Doesn't count, they've not been around long enough to qualify for a proper football song.

The Warburton song.

They can take it and never give us it back.
Never liked it never will.
TRIFC are an irrelevance to me now.
Bring back let's all do the Hibees Bounce

I couldn't agree more.
You'll Never Walk Alone is unquestionably the anthem of Liverpool FC.
It was adopted by and sung by the legendary 25,000 strong Liverpool Kop shortly after Gerry and The Pacemakers took it to the top of the charts way back in 1963. It was a time when Mersey side (The Mersey Beat) conquered the world, led by, of course, The Beatles. Celtic have latched onto it despicably.
Imagine another team adopting Sunshine On Leith as their anthem!!

Didn't we sing You'll Never Walk Alone in the early nineties? I wholeheartedly agree with what's being said about it just have a niggle in the back of my brain somewhere.

It was sung at the hands off Hibs rally by the proclaimers.

We sang it during the 60's to the 90's. Don't know why we stopped.

Nah, it's a song about a sentiment, not a place and Celtic fans were singing it long before Hillsborough, as did Hibs fans on ocassion. What about us singing Glory, Glory or Hail , Hail. Neither were originally Hibs songs. Shameless, my erse.

On the subject of fitba songs .... My first wife was brought up in the Salvation Army and I used to go to some of their services with her. Imagine my horror and amusement at one service when the pianist started banging out the Hearts song. Turns out that Mr Nicol had derived more than a little inspiration from an old Sally Army hymn written by Fanny Crosby called 'blessed assurance' ..... I don't know if he ever acknowledged where he got the idea for the Hearts song from, but if he didn't .....naughty Mr Nicol

I was always fairly certain we were the first adaptation of glory glory into a football chant.

Loads of (older) football songs come from church songs, including Glory Glory to the Hibees by that same Mr Nicol (original is Glory Glory Hallelujah). Another example is the peerless classic You're Not Singing Anymore, which adapts the chorus of Guide Me O Thou Great Redeemer.

Most of these songs will be old enough to be public domain anyway.

I read it was adopted by spurs first then us then man utd. I can't remember the source though and it could well be wrong.

The East Stand sang YNWA towards the end of the 6-2 game. Clear as a bell on the DVD.

It's actually an amalgam of 3 songs: Blessed Assurance (this is my story), Flanders & Swann's Hippopotamus Song (mud mud glorious mud) and the Old Orange Flute (away up in Gorgie etc).

So basically they're manky Orange *******s with a misplaced faith.
