As oakiecoci says, it was definitely sung by the Liverpool supporters in the early 1960s. Liverpool used to play the current Number 1 before every home match. In 1963 a very high proportion of Number 1's were Merseybeat records. YNWA was Number 1 for four weeks and when it dropped to Number 2...

Maybe not the BEST ... but certainly memorable for the 14,000 supporters there .... go back to February 1964 against the mighty Bury ... 1-1 draw , City goal scorer the injured Harry Dowd.

Partial apologies, have just read the original article which does have a section on Cliff Sear

A bit surprised that no-one of my vintage has mentioned Cliff Sear .... 248 League appearances in a ten year service. Welsh international , albeit only one cap. After leaving us in 1968 he went on to have 20 year's service with Chester (at all levels, player, coach, Manager briefly) and is...

I think you may need to check out one thing IF YOUR FATHER IS OVER 65. If this is the case you need to check that none of the tickets have been charged at the lower over 65 rate. I have no idea if anyone would challenge it on the day but maybe a call to the ticket office might remove any doubt...

Also, where is Bert in all this ? Clearly for many on here he is outside the criteria, ie whilst you have supported, but I would suggest that he walks away with the European category Apologies to Sir Baconface ... I see you brought him in later

Yes, I was there ... We had just won the League .... Unfortunately they had just won the European Cup. As has been said by others , we won easily that day. I remember it as an enjoyable aftzernoon ... At Old Trafford Cricket Ground.

Me too .... Took over from Bert .... Then they kept buying others (Alan Ogeley and Ken Mulhearn) but he saw them both off

Absolutely agree re the 3-1 win at Old Trafford. It was the day I realised that it was actually going to happen. Initially we were losing 1-0 in the first couple of minutes and negativity started in my mind , looked like we were going to get hammered ... Then Colin Bell ran clear of the defence...

Former City player - left us in the mid 60s .... Died of a heart attack in 2008

All this scapegoat comments about Navas appalls me. He provides pace that we don't have elsewhere. Just heard their manager stating how outstanding he had been and how they had had to make changes to try and contain him.

Brian ... re Bobby Kennedy I think you are wrong, he gave us good service, you don't serve for 8 years and play 254 games for us without contributing something ... even if some is in the Second Division. For Mercer's first year when we won the 2nd Division he was the regular right-back >...

So you did .... Missed it .... ApologIes ...... Still surprised that no one followed up on it .... He was a great servant to the club I

A few names mentioned here had a very brief England career .... not in any way denigrating those mentioned, but I am a bit surprised that no-one (as far as I can see) has yet mentioned Sean Wright-Phillips ... played many times and played well

Absolutely has to be Alan Oakes ... Mr Consistency over a very long period ..... Talk to the likes of Lee, Bell And Summerbee and they will stress just how much a player like Alan contributed

I find these adverse comment about Dunney quite amazing. What he did for this club simply cannot be disputed. As others have said , without his contribution I doubt we would have had a club that investors would have been interested in. As previously stated his 70 odd caps for his country are a...

I agree with all the posts stating that David does a good interview. He gets things over well , something that Roberto's English sometimes comes out wrong. I was intrigued in yesterday's press conference when David referred to himself as Assistant Manager ... have I missed something here ??

Pre Mancini, I would have to say that most of Sven's signings were more 'who the hell' rather than WTF, but out of all of them, Hamann was the one I was least sure of, especially considering we had to pay Bolton a fee for a player they'd just signed on a free! Glad he proved me wrong though...

Absolutely ... I saw his debut and I saw the first match he played for Chester all those years later .... the Bell, Lee and Summerbee group get the plaudits ... but they will say just how much Alan Oakes added to the team

Alan Oakes Bert Trautmann Richard Dunne
