I just saw this comment. Heartbreaking. No-one deserves what he had to experience. Poor guy. Nothing but pure respect for your club and fans even though Im a utd fan. Cant imagine those poor people heading to a game that day not knowing what was to happen. Kenny Dalglish showed more courage and class than I think most people realise. Attending funerals. And it wasnt like alot of things we see where the leaders appear. It truly affected him. Even now, as rivals, to me it'l always be Liverpool. Arsenal/City/Chelsea will be around but its Liverpool who ive more respect for. And moments like Hillsborough make us all realise we are all the same , just have a connection inside with a certain club. RIP Andrew Devine
@@lukessportsacademy , you must watch Liverpool on tour in Australia at the MCC ( Melbourne Cricket Club ) , the home team are in Black and White shirts the rest are Liverpools Australian Supporters ( it's usually the same in the whole of Asia )
Hillsborough was on 15th April 1989. The video you are reviewing was the 25th anniversary. Which was on 15th April 2014. So 10 years ago. It still is a very sore subject to Liverpool fans and the city of Liverpool. As no one yet has been charged. A massive cover up by the tories. Fk the tories and fk the sun. #YNWA #justiceforthe97. But also look at game footage of us kopites singing YNWA different kind of passion.
@BelfastManUtdTherapyReactions you hit the nail on the head with king Kenny. And untill this day he still hasn't been back to Hillsborough. And utd have also had there sad times aswell so respect for you aswell
The attitude taken by the then Margaret Thatcher government, about the people of Liverpool, and not helped by the sun newspaper, caused a massive feeling of ostracism in Liverpool, that still exists today. The people have huge amount of pride amongst themselves. It was a disgrace what happened, and how it was dealt with afterwards. I am from 50 miles away, but love visiting Liverpool, its a great city. ❤
A big thanks Jon I couldn't have said it any better , once again tears in me eyes m8 ,your always welcome in Liverpool Jon , we will never forget the 97 and their family's , God bless you and the 97
I was alive at the time, and a was a Liverpool fan, as I am today, funnily enough. Every football match at the time had the very real threat of violence, and we were locked into cages in the terraces. Thatcher’s government did make many mistakes, but they weren’t, by far, the only culprits to what happened that day, and the reaction. I was in front of my tv at home, at 11, a month before my 12th birthday, with my Liverpool shirt, shorts, socks, and even football boots on. I was transfixed. My first memory, I might add, in life, not just football, is of the ‘1984 Heysel Stadium disaster’. I was on holiday in a caravan with my family. I was 6. I watched the violence, Platini cheat to win (which made me a lifelong red) but later heard about the deaths. I thought, at not even 12, I was watching it happen all over again. It was fing traumatic, man. Still is😢 YNWA Edit I’m from 25-30 miles from Anfield, close enough to persuade my local town team supporting dad to take me to Anfield, everytime his team were away from home, in exchange for going to that darn 💩 hole every other week, not only watching that dross, but listening to the pathetic Un-creative repetitive songs, sang like they wrote them themselves. It was an almost unrecognizable, pale, almost absurd, version of Anfield😂 😂 😂 Oh, the memories. I saw the ‘89, Arsenal last kick of the season loss of our title, live too. So, some bad, some really bad, but some so good, they’re life affirming to this day🥲

Sheffield Wednesday fan here. My granddad was in hospital in Sheffield on the day that the Hillsborough disaster happened, a few weeks before he died, and there were so many people that needed hospitalization that they were bringing crush victims into the cancer ward that he was in. Terrible terrible day, but I have a lot of respect for the Liverpool fans and everything they've been through since then
My Auntie was a radiographer at Sheffield Hallamshire at the time, and she told us how awful it was on that day. I hope no club ever has to go through anything like that again.
You need to watch the version when Liverpool toured Australia. 100,000 fans in Melbourne stadium ( virtually all Liverpool fans). It’s Phenomenal. We appreciate the tribute mate
I love that version. 100k fans so passionate about a team halfway across the world is so amazing. Liverpool truly has one of the best fanbases and culture in the sport
Yep the home supporters in I believe in black and white ( some did change shirts to red because Liverpool are their real team ) and the red shirts are the few Liverpools Australian supporters 😂😂😂
As an American I chose Liverpool as my club long before I knew about the clubs history, or the culture of the city. I have rectified that over time. I’m constantly reminded that I picked the right club. LFC is a special club with special fans.
@@mariogbt1351 We dont, we hold a memorial every year on the anniversary. I am intrigued however at the need you feel to come on here and "remind" Liverpool fans of this. Do you ever go on the message boards of German or Austrian clubs just to remind them what they did during WW2? Perhaps you frequent the message boards of Dallaas FC or to remind them of the Jim Crow laws? Seems a tad redundant to me. Or perhaps you don't feel there's anything wrong with exploiting the deaths of 39 people just to try and further shame an entire fanbase? 99.999999999... % of which had nothing to do with Hysel.
As a Football fan from Nottingham, listening to my Dad's stories about the glory days of Nottingham Forest, I can't help but feel an immense amount of respect towards the people of Liverpool, they went through so much, and are still feeling the effects of Hillsborough. Anfield is a special place no matter who you support. May Thatcher forever rest in Hell.
96 is now, unfortunately, 97 as one fan recently died from injuries sustained in the crush almost 30 years after Regarding fans mocking, its vile, but as a Liverpool fan , it also comes from our fanbase too in relation to the Munich disaster (this killed most of Man Us team at the time, plane crash) I think chanting and mocking either disaster is vile. My family are from all over the North West (Liverpool, Manchester, Blackburn, Chester etc) so I have always been less involved in the hatred side of things, but the hatred between Liverpool and Manchester is quite old and actually goes back to a trade dispute , 200 years ago Manchester built a canal to the coast and this diverted some trade from Liverpool which was and still is one of the biggest ports in the UK. The rivalry between the cities is older than football is
You have never experienced you will never walk alone until you have watched Borussia Dortmund v Liverpool when all 84000 fans both sing it together as it is both teams anthem and watch the return match at Liverpool PJ
I got to go there once on a matchday and wow it was incredible how loud it was and as a life long Liverpool fan it was emotional to say the least. The game was crap but ill never forget it
I'm not a Liverpool fan myself, but the atmosphere Anfield can produce is next level, I remember the CL semi final in 2005 Liverpool vs Chelsea, I was watching on TV, best atmosphere I've ever seen...how the Hillsborough disaster was covered in the press was a proper disgrace, a story I remember from an Alan Hansen (ex-Liverpool CB) interview a few years after he said he saw a fan on the pitch and said to him "what are you doing, your going to get the club in trouble" the fan replied "Al you don't understand, people are dying in there", it should never have happened
aggregating harmonies, the most common note being sung...is the correct note so its the dominant note, the slightly out of tune few actually just create a thickening effect. It quite a subdued version of YNWA due to the circumstances
I was there that day. When the Memorial Service was first held (first nearly 20 years) only the Kop was open, so only about 10,000 people could attend. Once it was opened up to almost the full capacity of the ground at the time, 40,000 or so places were available. I was able to go to a few of those services. Often, at this kind of event, YNWA is sung with less gusto and more respectfully than it is at a game. The 'Justice for the 96' (96 at the time, 97 since Andrew Devine's untimely passing some years later) chant at the end of the video went on for quite some time beyond what is heard here. JFT97
I'm a Leeds United fan. Every decent follower of football was moved by this. I get goosebumps when I watch the Liverpool fans in full voice, remembering those lost in the atrocity.
YNWA is truly amazing even as a fan of another club, i deeply love Arsenal new anthem 'The Angel' as the lyrics are very specific to the residents on North london.
I was on the KOP for that 25th Anniversary to pay my respects to all those who died and the suffering their families were put through. Kenny Dalglish carried a whole city on his shoulders at the time. And indeed the whole Dalglish family mean so much to everyone connected to Liverpool Football Club. JFT97🔥
I was there with my mates we were so and i mean so lucky we went home. I could go on forever about this day but it brings me to tears Thanks for sharing this Y N W A 97✊
You should watch the fans of Liverpool FC and Celtic FC (from Glasgow, Scotland) singing together You'll Never Walk Alone. It's the anthem of both Liverpool and Celtic and seeing a stadium full of people singing the same anthem together is truly awe-inspiring. Scottish and English, catholics and protestants, are brothers and sisters for at least a few minutes. And when you know the history of the clubs and the history of the song, it's even more meaningful. That's the big difference between European clubs (football, basketball, rugby, Roller Hockey... whatever) and American franchises. Here it's about the history and about the community. The fans are loyal to the club and the clubs are, or at least used to be, loyal to their fans. Money has changed a lot of that in the last two or three decades, but we're still far from American sports franchises.
King Kenny Dalglish went to every funeral. #YNWA #THE97 💔 Can anyone really imagine how difficult and emotionally draining doing that would have been for any human being? 😞
you should watch the australian youll never walk alone. the liverpool team travelled to australia for a freindly game. australia has many thousands of supporters.
i get why they would say it is the the best bc of the anniversary and at Anfield BUT the most beautiful version for ME is the 90-100k singing YNWA during a friendly downunder ...
There are two football clubs in Liverpool ... Everton Football Club (they came first in 1878) and Liverpool Football Club in 1882. Everton Football Club were (and still are) right behind Liverpool in the support and sympathy around "Hillsborough" as do the Everton fans ... None football people (yes there are some) in Liverpool understand what happened and fully support the call For Justice ... We Stand Together as we believe in Social AND LEGAL JUSTICE.
Over the years there have also been some other deaths related to Hillsborough. Recently at the Champions League Final in 2022 Liverpool fans were stuck outside the stadium for hours in very confined spaces by the french police. It got quite bad the police used tear gas and the game started about 30 min late. Which is extremely rare for any game especially a champions league final. Two fans who were survivers of the Hillsborough disaster were part of the crowd, the experience in Paris retriggered old bad memories for them and sadly they commited suicide later that year. A different story I heard some years back was that right before Hillsborough a fan last minute coulnd't make it to the game due to a work commitment. So he gave his ticket to his friend to go to the game. His friend ended up being one of the 96 that died. Years later due to his guilt and grief he also commited suicide. His parents believed that the governments & the newspapers stance of blaming Liverpool fans contributed to their son commiting suicide. Feeling that it was your fault that your friend is dead and the newspapers and government saying it's your fault, when it really wasn't is heartbreaking and despicable.
As I am from /living in Liverpool and I was at the Hillsborough (the stadium of Sheffield Wednesday F.C.) disaster ... I will tell you where the song comes from (an American musical film) called "The Carousel" in 1956 ... its on CZcams.
I've long since lost count of the number of times I've been there and sung this, on the old Kop and new ...... always special before the game, always gets to me
I am a 45 year old man and been a LFC fan for about 41years. Our anthem is unbelievable even still when I hear it I get goosebumps on my arms. Whoever said this is the best version is probably wrong as our stadium is not full. You want to feel what our stadium feels like full when that song plays. Will leave you speechless. So much passion in it as honour to be amongst it
From the heart of the city of Liverpool, thankyou, this was a beautiful video. Can I recommend you watch a video of it performed after the Liverpool 4 Barcelona 0 game in 2019? Its absolutely beautiful
Roy Hamilton released the first single of it in '54, (I think). Hamilton was Elvis's fav male vocalist, so it was part of Elvis's record collection found at Graceland after his death..this is how it came to Gerry & The Pacemakers attention...Gerry, like Lennon revered Elvis, back in the day.
I was both at the tragedy at Hillsborough and on the Kop in this video. As all 96 names where read out, a light lit up on the ring for all who died. I know exactly what happened at Hillsborough from personal experience. As far as this song goes, it's a wonderful song when success on the field is achieved. It's not just a soulful song. It's a celebratory, uplifting, unifying song. A song for all seasons.
Thank you for showing the memorial. However, to bring you up to date, 97 supporters died as the result of the terrible disaster. Emotional as YNWA sounds here, there are many other times the song is sung with even more passion and with a much bigger crowd. The stadium has been increased by 7000 extra supporters this season and the full stadium singing is something to behold! YNWA. I’m a Liverpool FC supporter.
Hey mate look for a to series about this called “Anne” it’s really good and really emotional aired in the UK on ITV sure you can fund it online where you are
There is no feeling like standing on The Kop on matchday and singing this. I used to go to several matches each season and it never waned - there is nothing like that in the world! RIP and JFT97!
It's a good version, but the best ........🤔🤔 The best versions of YNWA tend to be at Anfield. Prime example, the one at the end of the 4-0 win over Barcelona. An Australian version is great but .........
Yeah, but thanks to the Aussie Reds for what they did that day, too. From a Red who 'surfed the Kop' as a 7 yr old...69 yrs ago. You might need to look it up!
@@fitzbarbel I just saw the title "the best..." There's a video titled "The Best....." I confused the two videos, because I halted this one before the video started. I stand corrected on that point. As for educating myself I don't think there's a need too. I'm sixty I'm well aware of what happened and how it affected everyone. I just confused two videos with the same title.
As someone who lost families members in the hillsborough disaster people always think this is why we don’t sing the national anthem it’s partially bc of that but also bc of thatcher.
It's a special song. One of my favourite nuances in football is the universal ability to mock Liverpool using the phrase YNWA whenever one of their players is left alone and they lose, whilst simultaneously knowing that mocking them / the club in this way is with no disrespect to those who passed at Hillsborough.
The South Yorkshire police have consistently let down the people they are sworn to serve and should be disbanded as a failed force not just for Hillsborough the miners strike but many failures at all levels. They are a disgrace.
Thanks for reacting to this. I'm a lifelong red, as were my parents and my whole family. Liverpool born and bred, and I couldnt possibly count the hours I and my family have spent in Anfield. This is probably the most muted, restrained rendition of YNWA Ive heard, obviously because of the cicumstances...this wasn't pregame exvitement and celebration. The Hillsborough inquests finally exposed the truth about what happened, and who was at fault...completely exonerating Liverpool fans, and allowing the families of the victims to mourn without the taint of blame. Still, throughout the country at football games, there are disgusting chants of "Always the victims" in relation to Hillsborough, implying that scousers were simply pretending to be the victims and were in fact guilty. It's not just Man Utd fans either. Although they're generally the worst because of the bitter rivaly, there are still those chants in rvery ground around the country. Scousers are also called "bin dippers" by rival fans, implying that Liverpudlians get their food from garbage bins, in relation to the extreme poverty that the City endured in the 80s due to Thatcher's deliberate "managed decline", which bled the City and its people dry, snatching away jobs, education and hope. So, when you see people calling us "bin dippers", ehich is mostly a term used in Manchester, just bear in mind that they're mocking people for being so poor that they were unable to feed themselves. Classy, huh? All of that said, it was the government and The Sun that spread the lies about Liverpool fans, and turned much of the country against the city and people of Liverpool...portraying us as jobless, valueless wastes, and at fault for the tragedy that killed so many of our own. Fortunately, there are also plenty of people around the country with brains who saw through the lies, especially since they were made clear following the inquests, and who celebrate the wonderful, warm, welcoming people of Liverpool. So glad to see our friends across the pond learning about our city and some of the club's history. Welcome to Liverpool!
just think Celtic say they were the 1st to use you'll never walk alone there is no reference to them singing gets in Lisbon in 1967 but maybe just maybe first Time they ever heard it was in the semi-final cup when the cup in 1966 and Anfield
That doesn't just sound beautiful. It's the football anthem of all and the wonderful lyrics give hope. Celebrating the love for the club together with 50,000 others gives us a shared emotion. But ,you can find better videos.Looking for Liverpool - Barcelona or something else from a matchday.
My Brothers friend Escaped this when he was pushed into 1 of the side pens he was 19 at the time still haunts him today, It should never of happened south yorkshire police got away with Murder
As a Liverpool fan, i think it's wrong how what your fans went through that day is never really mentioned in any of this. I know it can't compare to what the 97 victims went through. But it must have been harrowing to watch that unfurl live. I know 2 Forest fans who were there that day and are still scarred psychologically by it.
Yh im a forest fan and my dad was there aswell. He went to the replay game at old Trafford out of respect but then he never went to watch a football game again. He only started going back to watch games when I was born.
Man Utd fans sing about the Hillsborough disaster and Liverpool fans sing about the Munich Air Disaster, It's a disgrace on both sides. Football is not more important than human lives. I'm a Liverpool fan and I remember Hillsborough and the aftermath. "Fans" should be ashamed of themselves for singing about the deaths of players and fans
There is a video on CZcams by a couple who cycled to our city and they learnt that "We are Scouse not English" they give a brief history but it it goes back so much further for example Winston Curchhill sent the army and deployed gunships to quelll a strike about that a fair days work deserves a fair days pay even the local aurthorties would not strike against their owns fellow neighbours
@frankiefitzy8960, yes, I've seen that video, and yes, you are 100% correct. I would also like to add that Thatcher was caught saying about Liverpool that she wanted the Conservative government to oversee a managed decline for that city. And people wonder why they boo the national anthem. YNWA. Churchill sent HMS Antrim to threaten the city
Andrew Devine became the 97th Victim in 2021. He'd been in a coma for 32 years.

To this day nobody has ever been charged for the disaster. And that’s why as Liverpool fans we hate the establishment fcuk the Tory government
Totally agree fk the tories and fk the sun #YNWA #Justicefor the97
@@NuttyNJ Well said NNJ.
I'm not a Liverpool fan myself, but the atmosphere Anfield can produce is next level, I remember the CL semi final in 2005 Liverpool vs Chelsea, I was watching on TV, best atmosphere I've ever seen...how the Hillsborough disaster was covered in the press was a proper disgrace, a story I remember from an Alan Hansen (ex-Liverpool CB) interview a few years after he said he saw a fan on the pitch and said to him "what are you doing, your going to get the club in trouble" the fan replied "Al you don't understand, people are dying in there", it should never have happened
If you have hope in your heart, you'll never truly be alone.
aggregating harmonies, the most common note being sung...is the correct note so its the dominant note, the slightly out of tune few actually just create a thickening effect.
It quite a subdued version of YNWA due to the circumstances
I was there that day. When the Memorial Service was first held (first nearly 20 years) only the Kop was open, so only about 10,000 people could attend. Once it was opened up to almost the full capacity of the ground at the time, 40,000 or so places were available. I was able to go to a few of those services.
Often, at this kind of event, YNWA is sung with less gusto and more respectfully than it is at a game. The 'Justice for the 96' (96 at the time, 97 since Andrew Devine's untimely passing some years later) chant at the end of the video went on for quite some time beyond what is heard here. JFT97
Exactly what I thought.
I'm a Leeds United fan. Every decent follower of football was moved by this. I get goosebumps when I watch the Liverpool fans in full voice, remembering those lost in the atrocity.
When you become a Liverpool fan you are joining a family for life- no matter where in the world you are..
A Scouser in Vietnam..YNWA
As a son of the fair city of Liverpool and a supporter of LFC for most of my life, thanks for this amigo.
Thankyou for your reaction. YNWA R.I.P. 97 ❤😢 You should react to a match day version as well though, passionate in a different way.
Luke you need to hear YNWA in Melbourne, when Liverpool were playing there pre-season
Best version ever 2014 ❤️❤️💪💪
That was really something else. If not THE best version.
YNWA is truly amazing even as a fan of another club, i deeply love Arsenal new anthem 'The Angel' as the lyrics are very specific to the residents on North london.
You should listen to when it was sung in Australia
I was on the KOP for that 25th Anniversary to pay my respects to all those who died and the suffering their families were put through. Kenny Dalglish carried a whole city on his shoulders at the time. And indeed the whole Dalglish family mean so much to everyone connected to Liverpool Football Club. JFT97🔥
Lovely tribute, thank you. What a battle the families had to endure - so unjust
I was there with my mates we were so and i mean so lucky we went home. I could go on forever about this day but it brings me to tears
Thanks for sharing this
Y N W A 97✊
You should watch the fans of Liverpool FC and Celtic FC (from Glasgow, Scotland) singing together You'll Never Walk Alone. It's the anthem of both Liverpool and Celtic and seeing a stadium full of people singing the same anthem together is truly awe-inspiring. Scottish and English, catholics and protestants, are brothers and sisters for at least a few minutes. And when you know the history of the clubs and the history of the song, it's even more meaningful. That's the big difference between European clubs (football, basketball, rugby, Roller Hockey... whatever) and American franchises. Here it's about the history and about the community. The fans are loyal to the club and the clubs are, or at least used to be, loyal to their fans. Money has changed a lot of that in the last two or three decades, but we're still far from American sports franchises.
Dortmund also sing YNWA as well as their song
Have you got a link please?
There was at least one LFC player present at every single funeral of all those lost that day
King Kenny Dalglish went to every funeral. #YNWA #THE97 💔 Can anyone really imagine how difficult and emotionally draining doing that would have been for any human being? 😞
you should watch the australian youll never walk alone. the liverpool team travelled to australia for a freindly game. australia has many thousands of supporters.
i get why they would say it is the the best bc of the anniversary and at Anfield BUT the most beautiful version for ME is the 90-100k singing YNWA during a friendly downunder ...
Its pronounced "hills-burrah" not burrow. A burrow is something a rabbit digs! 😂❤
😅
Really necessary? He is making an important point and you want to correct how Americans pronounce borough (they have them too).
Ffs Jon pull yr head in, lad, Scouse denies all you've written there. We pronounce ud 'Ills Burra'. So, on your way!
There are two football clubs in Liverpool ... Everton Football Club (they came first in 1878) and Liverpool Football Club in 1882. Everton Football Club were (and still are) right behind Liverpool in the support and sympathy around "Hillsborough" as do the Everton fans ... None football people (yes there are some) in Liverpool understand what happened and fully support the call For Justice ... We Stand Together as we believe in Social AND LEGAL JUSTICE.
I was 100% behind you and you 100% lost me,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, what the eff is social justice???
The 2014 game between Liverpool vs man city the game ended 3-2 that day is my favorite time hearing that song
Gives me goosebumps every time I hear it ❤️⚽️ LFC YNWA
Over the years there have also been some other deaths related to Hillsborough.
Recently at the Champions League Final in 2022 Liverpool fans were stuck outside the stadium for hours in very confined spaces by the french police. It got quite bad the police used tear gas and the game started about 30 min late. Which is extremely rare for any game especially a champions league final. Two fans who were survivers of the Hillsborough disaster were part of the crowd, the experience in Paris retriggered old bad memories for them and sadly they commited suicide later that year.
A different story I heard some years back was that right before Hillsborough a fan last minute coulnd't make it to the game due to a work commitment. So he gave his ticket to his friend to go to the game. His friend ended up being one of the 96 that died. Years later due to his guilt and grief he also commited suicide. His parents believed that the governments & the newspapers stance of blaming Liverpool fans contributed to their son commiting suicide.
Feeling that it was your fault that your friend is dead and the newspapers and government saying it's your fault, when it really wasn't is heartbreaking and despicable.
As I am from /living in Liverpool and I was at the Hillsborough (the stadium of Sheffield Wednesday F.C.) disaster ... I will tell you where the song comes from (an American musical film) called "The Carousel" in 1956 ... its on CZcams.
Was there that day at anfield
Nothing beats you’ll never walk alone
JFT96 forever in our hearts YNWA ❤️💔❤️💔⚪️🔴⚪️🔴
I've long since lost count of the number of times I've been there and sung this, on the old Kop and new ...... always special before the game, always gets to me
I am a 45 year old man and been a LFC fan for about 41years. Our anthem is unbelievable even still when I hear it I get goosebumps on my arms. Whoever said this is the best version is probably wrong as our stadium is not full. You want to feel what our stadium feels like full when that song plays. Will leave you speechless. So much passion in it as honour to be amongst it
FFS they were not drunk
This song on Anfield full loaded stadium sounds so amazing,I get the chills every time again.
From the heart of the city of Liverpool, thankyou, this was a beautiful video. Can I recommend you watch a video of it performed after the Liverpool 4 Barcelona 0 game in 2019? Its absolutely beautiful
YNWA will always life folk up, whether it’s if your teams winning, or losing, especially if you’re in deep despair. YNWA ❤️❤️❤️
Became a Liverpool fan this season after following the PL and looking into the rich history of this club. Now I’m a Red till I die. YNWA ❤
Steven Gerrard lost a cousin that day. i still remember watching it live on the tv and the feeling of despair as it unfolded
YNWA
"You'll Never Walk Alone" is a show tune from the 1945 Rodgers and Hammerstein musical Carousel.
Roy Hamilton released the first single of it in '54, (I think). Hamilton was Elvis's fav male vocalist, so it was part of Elvis's record collection found at Graceland after his death..this is how it came to Gerry & The Pacemakers attention...Gerry, like Lennon revered Elvis, back in the day.
Thanks mate, I was at Hillsborough at that end.
Great video. FYI the official death count is 97.
Dude! Your face keeps looking thinner. Keep it up! Inspiring. I’ve had health issues and am on a journey myself. God bless!
The ones at anfield are the best and the one in Australia was amazing
RIP #97 #YNWA
97. #JFT97 YNWA
I was both at the tragedy at Hillsborough and on the Kop in this video. As all 96 names where read out, a light lit up on the ring for all who died. I know exactly what happened at Hillsborough from personal experience. As far as this song goes, it's a wonderful song when success on the field is achieved. It's not just a soulful song. It's a celebratory, uplifting, unifying song. A song for all seasons.
Thank you for showing the memorial. However, to bring you up to date, 97 supporters died as the result of the terrible disaster. Emotional as YNWA sounds here, there are many other times the song is sung with even more passion and with a much bigger crowd. The stadium has been increased by 7000 extra supporters this season and the full stadium singing is something to behold! YNWA. I’m a Liverpool FC supporter.
This song always makes me shed a tear 😔
Hey mate look for a to series about this called “Anne” it’s really good and really emotional aired in the UK on ITV sure you can fund it online where you are
it,s 97 dead my friend.
There is no feeling like standing on The Kop on matchday and singing this. I used to go to several matches each season and it never waned - there is nothing like that in the world! RIP and JFT97!
As a scouser thank you for highlighting what was the worst day in Liverpools history. You have my respect
It's a good version, but the best ........🤔🤔 The best versions of YNWA tend to be at Anfield. Prime example, the one at the end of the 4-0 win over Barcelona.
An Australian version is great but .........
Yeah, but thanks to the Aussie Reds for what they did that day, too. From a Red who 'surfed the Kop' as a 7 yr old...69 yrs ago. You might need to look it up!
@@fitzbarbel I just saw the title "the best..." There's a video titled "The Best....." I confused the two videos, because I halted this one before the video started.
I stand corrected on that point.
As for educating myself I don't think there's a need too. I'm sixty I'm well aware of what happened and how it affected everyone. I just confused two videos with the same title.
This is an emotional one due to the occasion. No disrespect, but the one in Melbourne...now that one gave me chills. Coming from a United fan.
JFT97 YNWA :) FOREVER RED
Thank you mate.
As someone who lost families members in the hillsborough disaster people always think this is why we don’t sing the national anthem it’s partially bc of that but also bc of thatcher.
Best version to here the lyrics clearly is oitbthere by gerry and the pacemakers with background video of thr ppl of Liverpool singing the song
It's a special song. One of my favourite nuances in football is the universal ability to mock Liverpool using the phrase YNWA whenever one of their players is left alone and they lose, whilst simultaneously knowing that mocking them / the club in this way is with no disrespect to those who passed at Hillsborough.
YNWA.
❤YNWA❤
You need to react to YNWA from the champions league final, then you’ll really see how good it is !!!! Love to e content by the way !
Anfield looks so small compared to now
Yeh you need the one in Melbourne, Australia ..
The South Yorkshire police have consistently let down the people they are sworn to serve and should be disbanded as a failed force not just for Hillsborough the miners strike but many failures at all levels. They are a disgrace.
97 jft97 YNWA
After beating Barcelona 4-0 was spine tingling
The best people in the world, singing the best anthem in the world…. Period YNWA Proud to be a scouser
Thanks for reacting to this. I'm a lifelong red, as were my parents and my whole family. Liverpool born and bred, and I couldnt possibly count the hours I and my family have spent in Anfield.
This is probably the most muted, restrained rendition of YNWA Ive heard, obviously because of the cicumstances...this wasn't pregame exvitement and celebration.
The Hillsborough inquests finally exposed the truth about what happened, and who was at fault...completely exonerating Liverpool fans, and allowing the families of the victims to mourn without the taint of blame.
Still, throughout the country at football games, there are disgusting chants of "Always the victims" in relation to Hillsborough, implying that scousers were simply pretending to be the victims and were in fact guilty. It's not just Man Utd fans either. Although they're generally the worst because of the bitter rivaly, there are still those chants in rvery ground around the country.
Scousers are also called "bin dippers" by rival fans, implying that Liverpudlians get their food from garbage bins, in relation to the extreme poverty that the City endured in the 80s due to Thatcher's deliberate "managed decline", which bled the City and its people dry, snatching away jobs, education and hope.
So, when you see people calling us "bin dippers", ehich is mostly a term used in Manchester, just bear in mind that they're mocking people for being so poor that they were unable to feed themselves. Classy, huh?
All of that said, it was the government and The Sun that spread the lies about Liverpool fans, and turned much of the country against the city and people of Liverpool...portraying us as jobless, valueless wastes, and at fault for the tragedy that killed so many of our own. Fortunately, there are also plenty of people around the country with brains who saw through the lies, especially since they were made clear following the inquests, and who celebrate the wonderful, warm, welcoming people of Liverpool.
So glad to see our friends across the pond learning about our city and some of the club's history. Welcome to Liverpool!
ynwa thanks for wording this right
My man..this is the weakest version I’ve ever heard. Liverpool vs Celtic is the one to hear.
The Rupert Murdoch paper, who owns Fox Corporation, The Sun has never been sold in Liverpool ever since.
Take a look at Liverpool fans drowning out the champions League anthem the noise is on another level well worth a look 👍ynwa 🔴
just think Celtic say they were the 1st to use you'll never walk alone there is no reference to them singing gets in Lisbon in 1967 but maybe just maybe first Time they ever heard it was in the semi-final cup when the cup in 1966 and Anfield
YNWA!
That doesn't just sound beautiful. It's the football anthem of all and the wonderful lyrics give hope. Celebrating the love for the club together with 50,000 others gives us a shared emotion.
But ,you can find better videos.Looking for Liverpool - Barcelona or something else from a matchday.
My Brothers friend Escaped this when he was pushed into 1 of the side pens he was 19 at the time still haunts him today, It should never of happened south yorkshire police got away with Murder
I find it strange the Hysel disaster is never brand up more judging as that was a leading cause of the creation of the premier league
Bro react to georgian fans celebration after qualifying for euros 2024 against greece
Grateful my dad and the other Forest fans hidding the kids in opposite stands from seeing anything. I dont remember being there, but still 😢
As a Liverpool fan, i think it's wrong how what your fans went through that day is never really mentioned in any of this. I know it can't compare to what the 97 victims went through. But it must have been harrowing to watch that unfurl live. I know 2 Forest fans who were there that day and are still scarred psychologically by it.
Yh im a forest fan and my dad was there aswell. He went to the replay game at old Trafford out of respect but then he never went to watch a football game again. He only started going back to watch games when I was born.
You need to watch the YNWA after Liverpool beat Messi's Barcelona 4-0 to come back 0-3 down to go onto the Champions League Final
97 lives lost R.I.P.
P.S. IT WAS THE FAULT OF THE COPS
YNWA
Man Utd fans sing about the Hillsborough disaster and Liverpool fans sing about the Munich Air Disaster, It's a disgrace on both sides. Football is not more important than human lives. I'm a Liverpool fan and I remember Hillsborough and the aftermath. "Fans" should be ashamed of themselves for singing about the deaths of players and fans
There is a video on CZcams by a couple who cycled to our city and they learnt that "We are Scouse not English" they give a brief history but it it goes back so much further for example Winston Curchhill sent the army and deployed gunships to quelll a strike about that a fair days work deserves a fair days pay even the local aurthorties would not strike against their owns fellow neighbours
@frankiefitzy8960, yes, I've seen that video, and yes, you are 100% correct.
I would also like to add that Thatcher was caught saying about Liverpool that she wanted the Conservative government to oversee a managed decline for that city.
And people wonder why they boo the national anthem.
YNWA.
Churchill sent HMS Antrim to threaten the city
SCOUSE NOT ENGLISH.
RIP TO THE 97 LOST SOULS 🙏
97 💮
