The reporters travelling with the party subequently sent word home that You'll Never Walk Alone was the new club song and things developed from there. Shankly picked the song during an appearance on the BBC's Desert Island Discs radio show in ahead of that year's FA Cup final and the television footage of that match provides the first evidence of it being sung in the stands.
The singing of You'll Never Walk Alone by Liverpool fans became an instant phenomenon in itself and the British progressive rock group Pink Floyd famously incorporated samples of an Anfield crowd singing it into their song 'Fearless' , which featured on the album Meddle. Celtic adopted You'll Never Walk Alone soon after Liverpool, with some even debating which club got their first.

It's the hymn that makes you keep the faith. Firstly, of course, I'm old enough to have been standing on the Kop in October when it was first played! Half a century later the hairs still stand up on the back of my neck whenever I hear it played. Gerry has a unique place in Liverpool's sporting and musical heritage and very few artists can claim anything similar.
Thank God he had the courage to insist to the record company that YNWA should be his next single all those years ago! Life on the Kop without that magnificent song doesn't bear thinking about!
