"Never Walk Alone" is arguably the best soccer stadium anthem that fans of the beautiful game sing at important moments, namely for Liverpool FC, but it's universally accepted at every football game. So when a Bundesliga game between Borussia Dortmund and Mainz 05 was overshadowed by the death of a fan at the stadium, a triumphant chant from those in attendance sang out the Rodgers and Hammerstein tune made popular by Gerry and the Peacemakers.
