Rather predictably - You'll Never Walk Alone.
Blubbed like a baby at the Hilsborough memorial thing they did at Anfield after it had happened when they all sang it.
In fact, nearly in tears now just thinking about it.

AliBobbyJ said:The "fields of Anfield Road" is nicked from Celtic supporters singing "The Fields of Athenry", which is originally a traditional Irish song about a poor Catholic lass whose bloke got transported to Australia for stealing corn from a Protestant landlord during the Famine in the 1840s.
Best songs imo are "Bubbles" and Raith Rovers fans' song "I Can't Help Falling in Love with You."
the irish times did some research on this song, there was no land owner in the area called "trevelyan" , so the song is a complete load of bollocks...

That's my favourite but I have got a soft spot for "I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles" as well.

Eh? He was a british Government official...
The measures undertaken by Peel's successor, Lord John Russell, proved comparatively "inadequate" as the crisis deepened. Russell's ministry introduced public works projects, which by December 1846 employed some half million Irish and proved impossible to administer. Sir Charles Trevelyan, who was in charge of the administration of Government relief to the victims of the Irish Famine, limited the Government's actual relief because he thought "the judgement of God sent the calamity to teach the Irish a lesson". For his policy, he was commemorated in the song The Fields of Athenry. The Public Works were "strictly ordered" to be unproductive—that is, they would create no fund to repay their own expenses. Many hundreds of thousands of "feeble and starving men" according to John Mitchel, were kept digging holes, and breaking up roads, which was doing no service.

I've been to Athenry and the fields are not low lying either.
