You'll Never Walk Alone

Quite possibly one of the most iconic chants of all time, there is an argument to suggest that ‘You'll Never Walk Alone' is the most famous football fan song in world football right now.

Originating from the musical ‘Carousel' in 1945, it is admired in particular for the electric atmosphere it produces on European nights in Merseyside, and has, as a result, become synonymous with Liverpool Football Club.

First sung in the 1960s, the official lyrics for the chant are as follows:

When you walk through a storm,
Hold your head up high,
And don't be afraid of the dark.

At the end of the storm,
Is a golden sky,
And the sweet silver song of the lark.

Walk on through the wind.
Walk on through the rain.
Though your dreams be tossed and blown.

Walk on walk on with hope in your heart,
And you'll never walk alone,
You'll never walk alone…

You'll never walk,
You'll never walk alone…

Red and White Kop

Next on this list of Liverpool football chants is the equally impressive ‘Red and White Kop' song. Also first sung at Anfield during the 1960s, the chant is sung to the tune of The Beatles' hit single ‘Yellow Submarine'.

Although it may not be quite as iconic or world-renowned as ‘You'll Never Walk Alone', it is a terrific song in its own right and one that can still be heard echoing around Anfield to this day.

The full lyrics to the song are as follows:

On a Saturday afternoon,
We support a team called Liverpool,
And we sing until we drop,
In a red and white Spion Kop.

We all live in a red and white Kop,
A red and white Kop,
A red and white Kop,
We all live in a red and white Kop,
A red and white Kop,
A red and white Kop…

In a town where I was born,
Lived a man who sailed the seas,
And he told me of his pride,
They were a famous football team,
So we trailed to Anfield Road,
Singing songs of victory,
And therе we found the holy ground,
Of our hero Bill Shankly,
Wе all live in red and white Kop…

Allez Allez Allez…

Known as ‘Allez Allez Allez', this particular song is not unique to Liverpool, at least not the tune itself. Many fanbases over the years have adapted the words, which were originally inspired by a 1980s Italian disco song, to their side, with the chant often making references to the side's historical achievements.

It was not heard at Anfield until 2018, but it has skyrocketed to fame since then and has, again, become one of the most iconic Liverpool football chants out there.

The exact lyrics to the song are as follows:

We conquered all of Europe,
And we will never stop,
From Paris on to Turkey,
We've won the f*cking lot.

Bob Paisley and Bill Shankly,
The Fields of Anfield Road,
We are the supporters,
We come from Liverpool.

Allez, allez, allez…
Allez, allez, allez…
Allez, allez, allez…
Allez, allez, allez…

Mo Salah: The Egyptian King

Mohammed Salah has been an even bigger hit at Liverpool than even he himself could have ever dreamt. The 32-year-old has risen to prominence during his time in Merseyside, with his electric pace and ability to consistently score 20+ goals per season helping to fire the Reds to silverware countless times.

In his honour, Liverpool fans have created a belter of a chant that is sung from the stands at almost every game. The lyrics are as follows:

Mo Salah, Mo Salah, Mo Salah,
Running down the wing,
Salah, la, la, la,
The Egyptian King.

It's short, catchy, and one of the best songs in the Premier League right now.

He's Virgil van Dijk

Another Liverpool player with a cracker of a chant in his name is none other than Virgil van Dijk.

His arrival from Southampton, and the huge price tag that came with it, was initially met with scepticism from even the most optimistic Liverpool fan. But the solidity he has consistently proved the Reds with has been just as important as the goals scored by Salah, and the supporters have acknowledged that.

The lyrics are as follows:

He's our centre-half, he's our number 4,
Watch him defend, and we watch him score,
He'll pass the ball, calm as you like,

He's Virgil Van Dijk…
He's Virgil Van Dijk…

That is our list of the best Liverpool football chants, with honourable mentions going to ‘Roberto Firmino, Si Senor' and ‘He's Alexander-Arnold'.
