Video'The best I ever heard, I love it' - Klopp reflects on 60 years of YNWA

Jürgen Klopp unquestionably echoed the sentiments of supporters all over the world when he sat down to reflect on a milestone moment in Liverpool Football Club's association with You'll Never Walk Alone.

This week marks a remarkable 60 years since the song reached the No.1 position in the UK charts.

Since then, YNWA has become ingrained into the DNA of Liverpool FC; belted out in triumph and sung in sorrow during the highs and lows of the last six decades.

"Simple but powerful lyrics, a real message," said Klopp. "Some things have changed since then [the 1960s] but obviously what it means to the people has never changed."

The story of YNWA originally goes back to 1945, when it was part of Rodgers and Hammerstein's Broadway musical Carousel.

Its popularity continued to grow throughout the course of the following years, with the likes of Frank Sinatra and Elvis Presley serving up their own interpretations of the hymn.

Then, in 1963, Liverpool band Gerry and the Pacemakers released their own version, which debuted in the UK charts on October 16 of the same year.

The following week it moved up to seventh and was subsequently aired at Anfield ahead of a fixture with West Bromwich Albion, where the top 10 was regularly played – and sung along to – by the crowd prior to matches.

On October 31, YNWA went to No.1, where it stayed for four weeks... but has remained our anthem ever since, with supporters chanting 'Where's our song?' when it eventually dropped out of the charts later that year.

"I understand that, 100 per cent… if I would have been there, I would have asked for the same!" Klopp reflected. "Where's our song?"
