You'll Never Walk Alone Sang During Memorable Night in Finland
SKY Reporter - "What a night we had here at Magnum Areena! Congratulations on the result. How do you feel after this game?"
Heighway - "I am quite simply over-the-moon after that. We predicted FC Basel to come out with all guns blazing and they did exactly that scoring very early. We were fortunate with the red card, the own goal and the penalty but this tie was played over two legs and I felt that we deserved the result over the two legs."
"The crowd's chanting of "You'll Never Walk Alone" can still be heard half an hour after the game. What is your view on the fans and their apparent new song?"
"I don't think that the fans can be credited enough for their support. Unfortunately this stadium only seats 2700 because I believe we could fill it ten times over. The song "You'll Never Walk Alone" is sung by the fans of very passionate clubs. You can see that at Borussia Dortmund, Celtic and especially Liverpool. The song just makes your heart pump with adrenaline, you can feel the hairs on your neck standing up and your back stiffens up due to the power, the passion of the song. I have been a Liverpool fan since when I was a very young child so to have my own team's fans singing it just makes me want to cry. I believe that the marvellous fans of this club deserve to be able to sing such a song."
"One last question. You just recently signed a new contract of an estimated £950 p/w until 2017. Is this a sign of commitment to stay at the club even if a big club comes knocking?"
"Let me answer that with a question of my own. If you found your true love, would you ever let her go? That is how I feel here, I'm engaged to the club. Thank you."
