Soton Canary 0 Posted March 10, 2009 Just been listening to this... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPVn9eLOkF0&feature=relatedDoes anyone know when this version died out and the modern ''chanted'' version began? Is anyone old enough to remember the old version? Seems to me that 24,000 people singing the older version of OTBC would make the hairs stand up on anyone''s neck...wonder why it''s not done anymore? I reckon singing that just before kick-off, like you''ll never walk alone at Anfield, should really stir up players and fans alike...but perhaps I''m just old fashioned Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
