sung

Fireworks went off outside the City Ground following the final whistle after fans sung 'Forest are back', forging an early - and much needed - connection with Dyche.

From the age of 16, he'd sung in dozens of bands, surviving "empty gigs and bank accounts", by taking jobs in construction and a vegan cafe in Essex.

Together, they are trying to understand why the doxology, always sung “in one way and one way only” suddenly has been “pepped up” with an energetic organ accompaniment.

Fans raised scarves and joined in as 'You'll Never Walk Alone', Liverpool's club anthem, was sung by Beard's niece Lucy at the end of an emotional service, which was attended by around 600 people.

His victory was met with a deafening cheer from the hometown crowd; who had earlier sung along to every word as he performed the title track of his prize-winning album.
