Sydney's stirring rendition of 'you'll never walk alone'

Almost 73,000 fans at Sydney's ANZ Stadium have sung a stirring rendition of Liverpool's famous anthem, "you'll never walk alone," as the powerful English club played in the harbour city for the first time.

In front of club legends Steven Gerrard, Jamie Carragher and others, the pro-Liverpool crowd belted out the anthem with great emotion.

EMBARRASSMENT: Fans fume over Liverpool game coverage

The singing of YNWA, initially made famous by Gerry & The Pacemakers, was immediately followed by a minute's silence to remember the horrible events that took place in Manchester recently.

Gerrard and Carragher started for Liverpool in the end-of-season friendly against Sydney FC in a rare return to a Reds shirt.

The two club legends helped Jurgen Klopp's squad to an easy 3-0 victory on Wednesday night.

The Reds, fresh from sealing their return to the Champions League, ran riot to topple the Sky Blues.

One had only look at Liverpool's line-up to realise this was the very definition of an exhibition match.

Of the players that started their final Premier League game against Middlesbrough on Sunday only three were in the XI against Sydney - Dejan Lovren, Roberto Firmino and Daniel Sturridge.

Included were two retirees in Gerrard and Carragher, jokingly referred to as "pundits" by merry manager Jurgen Klopp pre-game.

Not that it bothered the jovial sea of red in the stands, who erupted into cheers when club legend Gerrard took a corner.

Sydney's rendition of YNWA joins a growing list of epic efforts we've seen across the world in recent times, check more out here.
