[Other Sport] Favourite Opposition Song

[matski_98]

I also like the Villa Pepe Reiner song, made me laugh at the station before the game. Something about drinking Estrella, eating paella and having a massive forehead

Villa fans were singing their own version of that tedious, me-too, Liverpool-lite Allez Allez bollocks. I gather the intention is to remind lesser clubs of their proud history. I only caught the verse beginning "In 1982...." Couldn't hear the rest of the line without the aid of Brum-translate subtitles.

So what exactly did happen to them in 1982? Did they beat Walsall in the Texaco Cup or something?

I know you're joking - but for the benefit of any confused NIPPERS reading - they won the European Cup, beating Bayern Munich in the final. One thing I never understand, is mocking clubs for being proud of their historic achievements. Ultimately, its what its all about, surely?

That is a great song. My 4 times great-grandfather was from Leith apparently.

Oh man - that was brilliant.

TBF if we'd won the European Cup I'd sing about for bloody years as well
