The Fields of Anfield Road
Every time Liverpool fans sing "The Fields of Anfield Road" the ground reverberates to the sounds of the clubs history, to the clubs successes. Indeed, the song is sung on The Kop at Anfield every match day. The only shame is that the fans only sing the chorus at the matches most of the time. It would be even better if the whole song was sung as the chorus would seem to have even more impact than it already does. The whole version is regularly played at half time by George Sephton, the "Voice of Anfield".
In case anyone didn't know, the song is sung to the tune of The Fields of Athenry. Before Liverpool fans adapted it to their own version it was, and still is, sung in its original "Fields Of Athenry" form by supporters of Ireland and Celtic, as well as GAA teams and the Ireland, Munster and London Irish rugby union teams.
Having said that, if you heard the tune at a Celtic v Rangers Old Firm game, don't automatically assume that it is the Celtic fans as the tune is also used at Ibrox, the home of Glasgow Rangers for the song My Fathers Advice. Quite often at an Old Firm game it is not unusual for both sets of fans to sing the same tune with different words.
