You'll Never Walk Alone was written by Rodgers and Hammerstein for the 1945 musical Carousel, where it was sung as a song of comfort and encouragement. Gerry and the Pacemakers took it to number one in Britain in 1963, and Liverpool supporters soon adopted it as their anthem, singing it before matches at Anfield. From there it spread to clubs and crowds around the world, becoming a shared football ritual. Its message of standing together through difficult moments keeps it in use for tributes, memorials and emotional sporting moments.
