Every fan knows that soccer anthems are as important to the game as the fans and players. Gerry Marsden (of Gerry & the Pacemakers fame) knows better than anyone- hailing from Liverpool, he is responsible for writing the song that became the best soccer chant ever, “You’ll Never Walk Alone.” Although this song is close to many soccer clubs’ hearts, its roots undeniably stem from Liverpool, so we decided to get to the core of it all by hearing it from the source; Gerry Marsden himself. On our visit with him to Anfield Stadium, the home of the Liverpool Football Club, we found out how it all began.

The 1982 match between France and West Germany is a World Cup classic. Using Lyon as the pitch, French art collective Pied La Biche explores the city to recreate their own vision of this epic game, using anything from derelict industrial sites to town squares and freeways rather than a soccer field.
