Great stuff.

Does beg the question though, when did we stop singing You'll Never Walk Alone? As a kid we often seemed to sing it, and looking back it just seemed to vanish but I can't for the life of me remember when.

Shame it doesn't show the bit when Peter Withe points to his foot & says 'this is the foot!'

Thanks for posting those 2 clips up. I'd only ever seen a few seconds on an old VHS and many photos of each before. Brilliant.

Back then the Scousers were so used to winning the thing, they turned up to our victory parade by mistake: 30 seconds in you can hear them singing...

Mind you, I see our songs were just as shit then... "There's Only One [Insert Name of Every Player/Manager]" and "You'll Never Walk a" fucking "lone"?
