    I think that "version" of the song is the main reason I don't want them to win the EPL.

    Why the disdain for that point of view? I still maintain the Arabs did more; but the Irish did more than any other European people to that end AFAIK.

    I like Liverpool FC, I really hate that song. Even had an argument with a Liverpool supporting mate (great guy) about it. He was saying [their version] was about nostalgia for former greats and did I not find it beautiful. I responded by explaining what the original version was about and he had the decency not to argue any further. :smiley-laughing002:

    Heard many,many versions over the years but I think this Paddy Reilly version is the one I usually think of when I think of this song.
