[Football] Football in a library

[Wozza]

Bang on, this.

 

[Bodian]

Your'e gonna get your fuckin' 'ead kicked in?
That sort of thing?

This was quite amusing at the time. It says 'Honey West' on the hand bag. But this was 1967....

What was the Honey West thing about?

Was it similar to us singing 'Does you missus know that you're here' (ABBA) to Shilton when he was caught having an affair?

Was to Oh My Darling Clementine rather than ABBA. Same as when we sang “where’s your finger Charlie George” after he lost an argument with a lawnmower.

 

[Peacehaven Wild Kids]

Originally it was Napoli’s tune.

and they got it from Udinese….. who got it from Aris Salonika…..who got it from Gremio…. who got it from Uncle Tom Cobbley….etc etc

Don’t remember Marley being chanted, I do remember him having the nickname Whoopi though.

Me neither
Was at Leicester away in the league cup or whatever it was called and Peter Smith was playing and a couple of lads sitting behind me where call him “Buzz” I asked them about it and they said they had all been friends with him since childhood and that he was always known as The Buzzard and that’s what I called him from then on
Stuart Munday’s great strike and Kurt Nogan
1-3 if I remember correctly Jimmy Case sent off for 2nd yellow for delaying when taking a corner

[Jaxie]

They've missed out the "[wherever]'s a shithole, I wanna go home".

Can’t stand that one. The worst example was hearing it at Fulham.

I don't know. I thought the presentation of a handbag was because West was cultured (and therefore, according to football code as was till, er, last week, a 'poofta'). I'll check with my pal Bob the retired social worker, who was probably at the match (Liverpool for pleasure, Everton because there was nothing else to do when Liverpool were playing away).

Apologies to any ladies in advance ,

but a very odd one from the North stand circa 76/79 , if you`ve all got sweaty bollox clap your hands - you know you heard it

Okay, here goes - the Compendium of Football Fan Songs of the 1970s, altogether now :

You’re Gonna Get Your F***ing Heads Kicked In

You’ll Never Make The Station

In your ———— slums (insert opposition location and dustbin)

We Had Joy, We Had Fun, blah! blah! We Had ———— On The Run (Insert Opposition Fans)

We Hate Nottingham Forest, We Hate ———— etc (you know the rest)

There are loads more, someone else can over!

That lot definitely ages you!

 

[abc]

Anyone remember ‘tip toe through the North stand’? Can’t remember the rest

A one off favourite was Southampton at home: ‘where’s your finger, where’s your finger, where’s your finger Charlie George? in a flymo, in a flymo, in a flymo Charlie George’.
(You had to be there )

 

[el punal]

That lot definitely ages you!

It sure does. I’m like a fine wine maturing with age. Unfortunately that is the biggest load bollocks, more like a crusty old port.

 

[Titanic]

I am looking forward to the residents of the Original Football Library singing this tomorrow.

 

[schmunk]

Yeah let's just sit in silence..

Let's just sit in silence
Na-na na na
Na-na na na...


Err...

 

[oneillco]

This one is one I really hate. It just isn’t funny. Fans just sing it out of habit. Not that long ago I was at a non league match at Leamington and the away fans sung it. Granted a bit of the bottom end of town is not great but the idea that Royal Leamington Spa is a shit hole is ridiculous.

Another unfunny one is when oppo fans have a drum. I go to quite a few Brackley matches in non league and you know it is coming. “If you can’t bang a woman bang a drum”

I was on a train back from Falmer when a Fulham fan started singing "Brighton's a s*ithole, I wanna go home" and his mate remonstrated with him saying "I like Brighton actually". Also, this chant can be factually accurate, for e.g. "Croydon's a s*ithole, I wanna go home". Fair enough in my book...

If we'd sung it at Fulham - especially last season - I might have joined in if only because I live nearby and would rather have been at home

Surely, SURELY it was invented by Crystal Palace, like all original football chants were?

tip toe through the north stand,
with your boots on,
get your head kicked in
tip toe through the north stand with me.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

I'm not a fan of this "football in a library" stuff. Probably funny the first time it was sung, but not the 578,000 times since.

Whatever happened to "shit ground, no fans"?

Marley was a chant at Peter smith and he loved it but his nickname as pointed out was Buzz ,
