[Football] Best signature songs of other clubs

[Pavilionaire]

Best - "Sunshine On Leith" (Hibs)

Funniest (for all the wrong reasons) - "Simply The Best" by Tina Turner (Rangers walk on music))

<Tina> "In your heart, I see the star of every night and every day"
<Gers> "f*** the Pope and the IRA!"
<Tina> In your eyes, I get lost, I get washed away
<Gers> "f*** the Pope and the IRA!"

Anything sung by the Welsh,they could make your going home like Sandy Richardson sound like a heartwarming love song.

 

[Sussexscots]

Does Hibs 'Sunshine On Leith' count?

I think it should.

It absolutely does!

At the other end of the scale, I'm not a fan of 'when the saints go marching in'. Or the Spurs.

I like The Liquidator - Harry J All Stars . Sorry i know its Chelsea.


(but then i was surprised as it pops up at Wolves, and West Brom too. )

Disappointing lack of takers for the England Supporters Band doing another off-key version of the national anthem as the England national team one, it seems?

 

[chaileyjem]

PS: In a similar vein to Sunshine on Leith , Gothenburg adopted this song by singer/songwriter Joel Alme . Snart Skiner Poseidon.
This rendition of it - even if you've never heard it before is incredible. Thats how to do a blue and white entrance !!f

PS: the words are on the screen ha ha.

Keep right on

Birminghams is well up there

 

[Durlston]

Never understood the words or meaning to Norwich City's "On The Ball".

That said, Carrow Road is the most drunk I've ever been at a football match and the stewards were the best I've ever encountered so they're ok.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Also like Z-cars at Everton. What a cast - Brian Blessed, Judi Dench, Frank Windsor, etc.

Johnny Todd. Z Cars used it as their signature tune but it is an old Liverpool ditty. Watford have appropriated it for some reason.

I love You'll never walk alone but then I loved Gerry Marsden back in the day.

It’s ok if 1960’s folk songs about bashing your enemy hundreds of years ago is your thing.

Given that we don’t sing the verse about crushing rebellious Scots in GSTK anymore, it seems a bit inappropriate for Edward’s Army to be such a key part of this one, but hey ho.

Thanks for the history lesson. I’ll be sleeping ok tonight though.

I know, it does that to me too

I like West Ham when they sing I’m forever blowing bubbles.

 

[Berty23]

I really don’t like Liverpool but YNWA is brilliant as an anthem. It is the right pace and simple words. GOSBTS is a bit too quick to be brilliant. Marching on together is also a belter.

You don’t have to like clubs to realise the songs are brilliant.

Not an anthem but the one that I absolutely hate is the Mancs with “uniiiitid uniiiitid” oh stfu

In Germany, every club has an anthem. I'm biased towards Freiburg's as I was a season ticket holder there but Cologne (Köln) was probably my favourite. I travelled up there twice, the second time really just to hear the fans singing. It's absolutely heart-stopping when you're in the stadium. Tune v similar to Loch Lomond.

Janne a very good friend of mine supports Köln and has only recently moved back home after living in Manchester for the past 30 years, he took me to see them play about 20 years ago, I follow Frankfurt as that is where my g/g/great grandfather is from and they do this little ditty I rather enjoy.

Coventry had their version of the old Eaton Boating song which I think Jimmy Hill wrote the lyrics to. Not sure if they still run out to it these days.

Does anyone know when and why Sussex by the Sea was adopted by the Albion ?

Did a cursory google but couldn't find any history/info (there's plenty about the song - but not about its adoption by the Albion)

its been played as long as i've been going - the 70s. Was it pre - war ?

I think, and I could be utterly wrong, that it was adopted in the 50s/60s.

Norman Wisdom 1965. Completely different wording. But the song has been altered in other codes. There was one for Sussex CCC.

Sussex by the Sea - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

For me, any song unique to club (not an altered copy) or the area is always a good thing.
