Bygone Days & Nostalgia - Football Chants

[Wodewick]

Long ago in my youth before all seated stadia and trillions of pounds corrupted football.

I remember various niave songs and chants wafting from the terraces. Given my roots such things as:
Bubbles were common plus

Six Foot Two
Eyes of Blue
Billy Bonds is after you
La La Laaaa La La

Another fairly common one
Who's your father?
Who's your father?
Who's your father referee?

and
Nice one Cyril
Nice one Son
Nice one Cyril
Lets 'av another one

How times have changed!

I don't watch much football anymore but forums such as this provide some entertainment.
In this I see the Mods as Referees.

Today's offering:

Punches girls, in the eye,
Got caught, now he's doing time.
They split his ring,
In D wing
They're All Bumming Marlon King!

After it was reported in the press that [Rangers goal keeper Andy] Goram had a mild form of schizophrenia, fans responded with a chorus of "Two Andy Gorams, there's only two Andy Gorams"

Bygone Days & Nostalgia - Football Chants

Six of em died so they played five a side
In the Munich air disaster....

When I used to go to maine road in the early 70's a section of the crown used to chant "Celtic" to which a different section would respond "rangers". I didn't understand why, until I got to about 18 and someone explained the sectarian divide in manchester. (Turns out I was incorrectly shouting rangers by the way)

We hate Jimmy Hill, He's a poof, he's a poof......

[stek]

Bring on the Bostik! - for an injured player....

And, Lever End, Burnden Park;

Hark now hear the Lever sing,
The Pilot was my Mate,
He was the man,
Who flew the the plane,
In nineteen fifty-eight....

Lot of anti Busby Babes songs at Bolton mainly because of MUFC selling of the 58 disaster and this incident when Bolton Team Coach was travelling from Manchester Piccadilly (London Road Then) to Bolton with the cup...

[Doggy Styles]

There used to be a song that everyone sang that began:

"We hate Nottingham Forest..."

So because their name fitted neatly into the Dambusters (?) theme tune, Forest became the most hated team in the land.
