Liverpool FC anthem singer Gerry Marsden dies aged 78

Gerry and the Pacemakers singer Gerry Marsden, whose version of 'You'll Never Walk Alone' became the FC Liverpool's anthem, has died at the age of 78, Sky reports. Marsden's band was one of the biggest success stories of the Merseybeat era, with Sir Paul McCartney describing Gerry and the Pacemakers as The Beatles's "biggest rivals". The band's other best known hit, 'Ferry Cross The Mersey', came in 1964. Liverpool FC posted on social media that Marsden's words would "live on forever with us".
