You'll Never Walk Alone with Stephen Done Myths & Truths

Stephen Done returns, he was the club’s archivist and museum curator until he retired in July 2024. We discussed more Anfield myths and legends, including: You'll Never Walk Alone - when and why did we start to sing it, did Celtic or Man U sing it first?  What is the best version of YNWA.  The back room boys, Bob Paisley, Joe Fagan, Reuben Bennett, Ronnie Moran, Roy Evans, the Boot Room, the black books and inviting the opposition into the Boot Room. We moved onto Elton John at Anfield, his love of football and his total respect for LFC and why Kenny Dalglish signed John Barnes. Finally, Paul McCartney red or blue? And why is a Liverpool player on the Sergeant Pepper cover?

Stephen Don's books, some on LFC, and his Inspector Vignoles stories can be found here: Inspector Vignoles stories   https://www.amazon.co.uk/stores/author/B0034OKJ78

What is Sweet Silver Song?

Sweet Silver Song is a podcast that tells you the stories of Liverpool Football Club, one of the world’s greatest teams, six times European champions and followed by over 770 million people worldwide.

My name is Mark Kerr, a lifelong Liverpool supporter, who has been watching my team since 1965. I will be talking to people who know this club, who work there and have played for it. Week by week, we will fill you in on the amazing stories that make our club the worldwide institution it is today.

We will talk about Istanbul, that Barca match and Borussia Dortmund at Anfield. But we will also talk about losing 5-1 to Ajax in the fog, a 9-1 defeat at Birmingham City and being knocked out of the FA Cup by a non league team in 1959!

We will remember the great players, not just Salah, Gerrard and Virgil, but our great Scots like Kenny, Graeme Souness and Billy Liddell, Welsh wizards like Rush, and local lads like Jimmy Melia, Jimmy Case and Jimmy Payne.

There are millions of stories about our great club and we look forward to sharing some of them with you.
