"You'll Never Walk Alone" is most closely associated with Liverpool -- though Celtic fans sing it as well -- and has made a comeback among their fans. "You'll Never Walk Alone is definitely back at Liverpool, especially post-Hillsborough," Marshall told AFP, referring to the 1989 FA Cup semi-final when 96 Liverpool fans were crushed to death. "'The Saints Go Marching In' dates back to the 1800s with the lyrics about the Apocalypse," said Marshall. "Liverpool fans always begin to sing 'You'll Never Walk Alone' a minute before the end of the game," said Marshall. "I think they (British football fans) were the first to sing and then to chant which goes all the way back to the 1920s," said the 60-year-old Englishman.
