TOPIC: You'll Never Walk Alone

You'll Never Walk Alone 5 years, 6 months ago #1

So I'm watching the ESPN sports highlights this morning and, in a very rare clip, they show highlights of the Man U v. Celtic (we rarely get soccer/football highlights unless it's the world cup or MLS championship).  So they show the Celtic goalie blocking the Man U penalty kick and then cut to the crowd singing, yes you got it, "You'll Never Walk Alone"  Presumably this is a pretty standard event but to have this on ESPN is a very unique Floydian moment for me. 

BTW, do they call, it "Seltic" or "Keltic"?  Our announcer said "Seltic" which is the way our Boston NBA team is pronounced.

"Seltic" is the pronunciation.

It's the anthem for Celtic and also Liverpool FC in England - Gerry and the Pacemakers were from Liverpool of course. I believe the recording on Fearless was recorded at Anfield (The home of Liverpool)

Where is the Celtic team located?

Glasgow - which is in Scotland BTW in case you're geography isn't too hot.

I don't know why it's their anthem. Most Brits would agree it's predominantly Liverpool Football Club's anthem but Celtic also claim it as their own.

It's pretty much a football anthem in general.
