You never walk alone ritual

 

The ritual that I am going to be talking about is when Liverpool football club fans sing “ You never walk alone” before the start of every football match. My whole family are from Liverpool so they use to go too all the games when they were younger. But when my mum and dad moved to Manchester and I was born. It was harder for me to as it wasn’t on our doorstep like it was for them. So when I was growing up my Dad of course made me supporting Liverpool and I really didn’t want to at the time when I was young because all my friends either supported Manchester United or City and little me just wanted to support who ever my friends did. So when I would ask my dad can I support someone else he would laugh and be like no chance. I remember when he said to me when we go watch a game, ill realize why supporting Liverpool was the best choice. My first game was on my 8^th birthday and ill always remember when just before the game was about to start. I heard “ You never walk alone” for the first time. It is something that I will never foregt, to hear this from 50 thousand plus people singing this with pure passion and emotion showed me why my dad wanted support liverpol. When I look back now, it shows how something such as a football team can bring so many people together and its truly amazing. The fact that they do this before every game is also cool as well. Not only is it for the fans to sing, but also its for the players, its shows that the fans are with them all the way, through the good and through the bad and hearing it before important games is so powerful it can of worries the away team as they know this means that they are up for it, the fans and the team are ready to do anything they can, to get the win. I not sure if this counts as a ritual but I was committed to talk about it because its something that hits home for me and it brings so much happiness when I think of the memories of when I first heard it. This has been something that Liverpool have done for years and years and its something that they are very famous for. It shows how tight knitted the community and team is and something that am proud my team does every game and that’s why my dad wanted me to support them so much
