Supporters' songs have played a very important role in the culture of soccer from early times. I was fascinated to read of the rediscovery in a local Liverpool newspaper in 2011 of "Hurrah for the Reds". Composed by W Seddon in August 1907, just 15 years after the founding of Liverpool FC, this was a hitherto unknown fans' song. Further details are on the excellent LFCHistory.Net site: http://www.lfchistory.net/Articles/Article/3145
You can even listen to a re-recording of the song: http://www.lfchistory.net/images/shankly.com/Hurrahfortheboys.MP3
