[Football] Best signature songs of other clubs

[PeterT]

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.

They definitely still sing it, I saw them last season. Don’t know if they run out to it though.

If only this has caught on


Reading would be an intimidating place to go

 

[The Mole]

Stockport County’s The scarf my father used to wear

Reading would be an intimidating place to go

That’s one is more hilarious every time I’ve seen it

Forest, pretty good

 

[Justice]

Everyone else manages perfectly well without the words on the big screens, whoever makes this decision at the Amex (which away fans rip us for) needs to stop.

 

[tedebear]

I'm forever blowing bubbles I think has lost its context now given it was about someone in the 1920's...but good on them although it is funny. Sweet Caroline needs to be removed from all stadiums immediately...truly is bizarre and stupid.

Does Hibs 'Sunshine On Leith' count?

I think it should.

This is the winner

 

[The Hermit Kingdom]

There is only one, Sunshine on Leith. When they all sing “Sorrow, sorrow, sorrow” legendary stuff.

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.

That is not their signature song, although its brilliant.. Here is their equivalent of Sussex by the Sea

 

[Skaville]

I always thought ‘you’re not from Brighton’ by Fatboy had potential

Is the song about himself?

 

[West Upper Seagull]

What I really like about "Sussex by the sea" is that it is very much "our" song. It's very stirring too when it's sung as the whole ground sings it.

But what songs at other clubs do you like? Obviously "Glad all over" is absolute gash. To be honest it's so embarrassing that I really don't know why Blackpool sing it.

Here are my thoughts on some of them:
But what are the good ones? I reckon Forest/Charlton's rendition of Mull of Kintyre is pretty good. At Forest it is proper loud. Marching on Together is massively overrated but I do think Leeds are probably the most vocally supportive fans in the country (even though they have their fair share of bell ends). Birmingham's Keep Right On is a bit average - almost impossible to understand the words when they sing it.

My favourite is West Brom's "The Lord's My Shepherd". Loud, unique, well known. Ticks all the boxes IMO. They also do a MUCH better and louder version of Liquidator than Chelsea's shit version.

Quite like Delilah at Stoke too.

Over to you...

For me the best 2 are easily YNWA and Forever Blowing Bubbles. GOSBTS could rival them for effect if we sang it in unison and at the right pace !

 

[Blue3]

Does Hibs 'Sunshine On Leith' count?

I think it should.

It’s a great song written by the Proclaimers about growing up and living in leith, by life long fans of the club and very unique akin to GOSBTS but a bit more modern

 

[Blue3]

My favourite team song Hibs Sunshine on Leith

My favourite Nation song (Anthem) France closely followed by Italy

My most disliked team song none really

My most disliked Nation song (Anthem) England God say the king or Queen is so outdated, Jingoistic Empire rhetoric I think a great replacement would be Robby Williams let me entertain you especially with this government we have had to put up with over the past 12 years

 

[Sid and the Sharknados]

I think a great replacement would be Robby Williams let me entertain you

This may be setting unreasonable expectations for the England team.

I like Birminghams 'keep right on'.

The thing with all of these unique cub anthems, is the timing. As a simple song/words its pretty meaningless to 91 others clubs. When we sing Sussex by the sea, its emotive, but a lot more so, when the adrenalin is already coursing through your veins!

Birmingham last game of season away at Bolton, needing a draw to survive. Paul Caddis in the 93rd minute makes it 2-2 followed imediately by 'keep right on'. You just get the total euphoria and pride as they belt it out in that moment.

 

[Vatican Citys No.2 Keeper]

On the subject of German team anthems, I'm biased on this, but Union Berlin's "Eisern Union" by Nina Hagen is the one.

The build-up to it in the ground with an excerpt of "Rammstein" by Rammstein before Nina Hagen kicks in always gets the goosebumps flowing. This video ahead of the first Berlin derby in the Bundesliga v Hertha in 2019 is one I go back to watching a few times a year.

 

[MACCAPACCA]

What about our own Greasy Chip Butty song:-

You fill up my senses
Like Robert De Zerbi
Like a match at the Goldstone
Like a walk on the Pier
Like a wet day at Withdean
Or a day trip to Wembley
You’re Brighton Hove Albion
Come fill me again
