He used to live in the house at the end of Stream Lane in West Chiltington, striking Spanishy style hacienda type villa, couple of hundred yards from me.

Anyone remember the words to this version?

From 13 seconds in it sounds like ...

We're always fair, we never swear
But now it's ? ? time
So shall the ? score? (crowd response "NO!")
Clap your hands until they're sore (clap clap clap)
Cos we're going up and we'll win the cup
etc

All seems a bit twee these days but I would have scuttled across the park in me duffle coat after the game to get home for tea and James Alexander Gordon (except it was someone else then).

His ex-wife lives next door to my mum and dad.

(I fell through her hedge once, in an attempt to cheer her up. It didn't work).

Apparently he was an arrogant so&so

I have never heard anyone say that about Norman, in fact quite the opposite. So if we are going to make things up, Mother Theresa - now she really was a c*nt and she supported Palace.

Now, if you've ever read Christopher Hitchins book: The Missionary Position, you'll know one of those two statements is correct.

I appreciate his support for the Albion but never found him funny. His films are crap.

The words were printed in the programme,which is housed in a different wing of my mansion so I can't look it out tonight,but from a dimming memory:

We're always fair we never swear but now it's hit or bust
So shout you fans and make them score (Goal !)
Clap your hands until they're sore etc etc.


The first verse had the memorable

We're the team from Brighton
Hove-byJove-that's us.

How can anybody not like this ? Hang on - the butler is back from the west wing (upper)

We're the team from Sussex,Sussex by the sea
E-LE-VEN players and a crowd who roar them to victory
So shout you fans and make them score - GOAL
Clap your hands until they're sore -CLAP,CLAP,CLAP
'Cos we're going up and we'll win the cup for Albion by the shore.

We're the team from Brighton,Hoveby jove,that's us.
We're always fair we never swear but now it's hit or bust.
So shout you fans...........etc.

It was in the programme v Chesterfield 27/2/65.

Allegedly a record of the song was made for playing at home games,though I don't know if this still exists.
