The Fans Who Make Football: Liverpool FC | Featured Documentary



You’ll Never Walk Alone is Liverpool Football Club’s war cry for the underprivileged – a cry of unity against adversity and authoritarian rule – and it rings loud and in unison at every Liverpool match. For Liverpool fans, it is about more than football. It is a fight for equality, social justice and a voice for the United Kingdom’s working-class often ignored by a series of right-wing governments who neglected the country’s north.

Being a hotbed of left-wing socialism, former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher set out to make an example of Liverpool city while it was enduring drastic economic decline after the UK joined the Common Market in 1973. Her crushing policies of «managed decline» left much of the population jobless. Thatcher expected the city’s people to buckle to her authority, but she did not realise she was also up against the power of the city’s football team, which brought strength and hope to its city. This film looks into how Liverpool FC became a symbol of defiance on top of its shining success.

Liverpool FC’s famous stadium sat within the working classes of the city and stood in the face of a government set on treating victims of poverty as collateral damage. And despite the money behind the multimillion-dollar game, Liverpool have remained a team that continues to put the people before profit.

  15. Every single time i listen to people singing this song i get emotional, so glad i've found Liverpool. You'll Never Walk Alone indeed, hello to all my fellow Liverpool fans from all the way over here in Brazil. Õ/

  16. Winning the league with 96 points was just so appropriate at the time. As I write this comment the news of the 97th victim passing away weighs heavy in my heart! As a survivor of pen 3 Leppings Lane I can assure you the real death toll resulting from that harrowing day is much higher when survivors who suffered in silence for decades found they could not carry on any longer and felt the only way to find respite was in taking their own lives ! I find it hard to understand how their journey has not been recognised, their passing has been as a direct result of injuries sustained on 15.04.1989 and in my opinion their names should be added to the list at the memorial!

  25. were about to start a war for the soul of our club thanks to the top six wants to play god with our game its been stoped but proves we fans need more protection as were the ones who on match day paying for inflated prices yet have no say on who we buy or what we do
