Hello all

We on LFCHistory.net just relaunched our website last week with a brand new look and we have more or less re-programmed the whole website from the scratch. So please take a look and give us some feedback :-)

Also we came across this wonderful song in a 1907 edition of Liverpool Echo. "Hurrah for the Reds" was composed by W Seddon on 31st August 1907. Paul Wilkes is a singer/songwriter from Liverpool who so graciously agreed to record for us the first known supporters song for Liverpool.
You can find the song and the songsheet for the song right here.

Enjoy :-)

Good job mate, the only website i trust to get our correct tranfer fees from. The rest seem to pluck them for their arses.

That song is far too slow to be sung nowadays.

Nice to see its back. There must be some effort put in with the amount of info on there?

Only taken me about a year and a half (evenings & weekends only!) or so to program it all over again ...

Clearly you don't know Roy well enough, he'd link to an article saying good things about him....but that'd probably be in swedish

Is true but he did enjoy the REWAMP.

cracking song that.

CHOPPER · « **Reply #15 on:** January 4, 2011, 10:35:22 pm »

No, na na na na na na or du du du du du du? It'll never catch on.

Seriously hope it does though.

The site looks sound.

Raisbeck the fox. I like it.

The refurbishment looks fantastic. Hope you get to put your feet up and take a holiday after that.

cheeers love it.

Official site misers are giving it only for the e-season ticket holders only.

So other people dig up the old song and then Liverpool.fc put it on the site and then charge you for it.

Who knew we'd ever played Jihonaravsky Kraj

Aye - bit of a con - but a great website from lfchistory.net all the same.

Just playing it on Liverpool TV.

Scousebeef · « **Reply #24 on:** January 5, 2011, 05:19:43 pm »

amazing!

Scousebeef · « **Reply #25 on:** January 5, 2011, 05:23:22 pm »

I was just wondering if it could be modified?

Hurrah for the boys to play the game.
Hurrah for the Reds!
Hurrah for the boys there's none can tame.
Hurrah for the Reds!
There's Hew-itt and Mac to lead the at-tack! With Har-dy to hold the fort, boys. There's God-dard and Cox, and Rais-beck, the fox. And more of the good old sort, boys.
Hur-rah Hur-rah Hur-rah Hur-rah Hur-rah for the Reds!

damn! wanted to edit my previous post but clicked reply by accident!
