Sad news that Gerry Marsden has passed away after a short illness. Rest in peace, Gerry. You'll Never Walk Alone.
Never heard that before cheers dilligaf I liked that.I remember him being interviewd some time after the trip to Celtic Park, where he sang YNWA and the crowd blew the roof off
He said at the time his thoguhts were, "If I'm to be taken Lord...let it be now...nothing can touch this moment"

I remember that night and we owe Gerry a debt of gratitude for popularising the song that is anthemic to both clubs.I couldn't find the clip, but I remember him saying it
Here's Gerry speaking to a reporter:
Is there a better rallying cry before a football match than You'll Never Walk Alone?
No. I talk to other players and they say they wish they had a song to go out to like that. Celtic nicked it off us actually - but I'll let them off because I like Celtic! I think it's the best, not because I did it, but for the players in the tunnel it inspires them.
What has been your favourite version of You'll Never Walk Alone?
When we played Celtic in Europe a few years ago [2003], I sung it on the pitch and it was amazing. I sang it at Anfield for the Queen which was a great feeling, and I did it at Bradford after the terrible fire disaster. I've had quite a few great moments with the song.
