The Fields of Anfield Road
- The Fields of Anfield Road
"The Fields of Anfield Road" is a popular football song sung by supporters of Liverpool Football Club. It proceeds to the tune of The Fields of Athenry; composed by singer-songwriter Pete St. John in 1979. Before being adapted by Liverpool supporters it was, and still is, sung in its original form by supporters of GAA teams, Irish rugby union team Munster, the Ireland national rugby union team and the Republic of Ireland national football team, English rugby union team London Irish, and in more recent years Scottish football team Celtic. [Story of a Song, "Irish Independent", 30 September, 2006]
Lyrics
:Outside the Shankly Gates
:I heard a Kopite calling:
:"Shankly they have taken you away
:But you left a great eleven
:Before you went to heaven
:Now it's glory round the Fields of Anfield Road"
:"Chorus":All 'round the fields of Anfield Road,
:Where once we watched the King Kenny play (and could he play!),
: Stevie Heighway on the wing,
:We had dreams and songs to sing,
:Of the glory 'round the fields of Anfield Road
:Outside the Paisley Gates
:I heard a Kopite calling:
:"Paisley they have taken you away
:You led the great 11
:Back in Rome in 77
:And the redmen they are still playing the same way"
