I might be wrong but I vaguely recall seeing a clip of City playing circa mid 60s (not against one of the Mersey clubs) singing You´ll Never Walk Alone?? Can anyone verify this and if so what songs have been originally sung at other clubs but hijacked.

I suppose in our case Bluemoon and Crewe? Pahhh Always been Citys!
 
I remember singing You'll Never Walk Alone in the 70s/early 80s and was great to see all the scarves in the Kippax.

Not sure when this was "hijacked" by Liverpool because many clubs used to sing it.

I've seen a clip of it, was against spurs and we smashed them 4-0 or something like that. my grandad said all clubs sang it, no idea why!
 
You'll Never Walk Alone was sung by a lot of different fans, us included in the 60's. Also remember our version of Blaydon Races with the last line being 'going down the Claremont Rd, to see Joe Mercer's aces'.
 
Loads of fans used to sing YNWA as a victory song in the 70s. At the end of the 1976 FL Cup final City fans were singing it (have a look back at the videos). Also remember it being sung in the 5-1 against United, at a time when we didn't sing Blue Moon. Obviously then Liverpool used to win everything so I suppose it stuck as their song (it may also have originally started with them in the 60s).

Blue Moon actually was Crewe's song before we started with it.

I always remember Ark Now Hear being sung by United originally.
