Gerry Marsden:
''I was with Bill Shankly in the USA doing the Ed Sullivan show and all the team came to see it. I said to Ed let's bring the boys on stage and we'll all sing You'll Never Walk Alone. We did the song to 66 million people throughout the States and as we were walking off the set, Shankly said to me: "Gerry my son, I've given you a football team and you've given us a song."
