Liverpool fans singing to Torres

February 12, 2008 - at Chelsea FC, Liverpool

If we had to tell which team has got the best fans, we would say Liverpool (with the exception of Celtic). What a coincidence…! Both teams have got the marvellous hymn of “You’ll never walk alone” (which is singed before every match by everyone that is in the stadium, no matter if it’s CelticPark or Anfield), and they also share the hobby of drinking as much beer as possible (before, during and after the match). (Listen Liverpool’s fans singing “You’ll never walk alone”)

When fans of any team like (or love) a player, because he is fantastic, they use to say (in chorus) his name, but in Anfield, they not just say the name, they try to look for a piece of a song and create a lyric to sing him. Is really impressive the creativity of the kop (Liverpool fans)!

Many songs have been created for Spanish players that are playing in Liverpool, today we will focus in Torres’ song (Xabi Alonso and Luis Gracia have also got one, but no-one have been created so quickly as the Spanish striker) There are 2 versions, with the same music, but with different lyrics. Now in Spain there’s an ad in TV with this song, is called “Ants go marching” (in the ad… “los animales de dos en dos ua… ua…”). Whach ad). The two versions of the lyrics are:

His armband proved he was a red, torres torres
You’ll Never Walk Alone it said, torres torres
We bought the lad from sunny spain, he gets ball, he scores again
Fernando Torres, Liverpool’s number 9

Fernando Torres came from Spain, Olé, Olé
He came to make us great again, Olé, Olé
The Spion Kop will roar him on
He scores the goals and he scores for fun
And we all get blind drunk
When Torres scores a goal
