Spurs fans...

[gripper stebson]

....singing -

'He only cost a mil, he's better than Uzil, we've got Dele Alli.'

Now I'm fully aware that Crystal Palace fans invented 98% of all football songs but did we nick this or have Spurs taken it from us?

Been around for years I think.

Obviously started at Selhurst by the always ultras though.

We stole it from West Ham. They sang it for Payet.

Leicester sang it for knockaert several years ago, different words. Newcastle also had it a few years ago.

Then West Ham did it for payet and spurs copied, like we did. Many other teams sing it like Southampton for van djyk etc.

Spurs have sung that about Ali prior to our signing AK.

Spurs fans demanded the original from the Palace Ultras as a transfer fee for the Drummer at Selhurst who was a Spurs supporter,cos Palace had more songs than they could use,but no one intelligent enough to bang a drum.

Forest started it in the late 70's after they signed Trevor Francis....

I prefer 'he lives in Burgess Hill...' (No idea if he does mind you)

I believe the tune (as with the St Pauli one palace think they invented) was first sang in British football by Celtic for Paddy McCourt. West Ham did not invent it whatsoever. Also the Spurs one started about the same time as the Knocky one - YouTube is a good indicator and there's no vids of that prior to 8 months ago so don't think [MENTION=316]Albion Dan[/MENTION] is correct by saying they sang it before knockaert. As we know 99% of songs are generically copied - a reason SBTS is unique.

 

[Puppet Master]

Leicester sung "please don't sell Knockaert"

And actually managed to come out with a different final line rather than just repeating the first (yes, it still really bugs me)

They nicked that off Celtic. But yea you're right about the last line sounds shit and the original song doesn't repeat it...

Man Utd have been singing build a bonfire for years.
Build a bonfire,
Build a bonfire,
Put the Scousers on the top,
Put the City in the middle,
And we'll burn the f*cking lot...

Sure we got we're f*cking brilliant from somewhere else , which leaves "there's no songs there, there's no songs there"

Hardly prolific is it

As a club we've never actually invented anything Mr B: We nicked the 'Albion' in our name, plus the blue and white stripes from West Brom, our nickname we got by adapting Palace's Eagles, we transfer in most of our players from other clubs, we nicked Sussex by the Sea from William Ward-Higgs, the name of our stadium we took from the company American Express. Hove Born and Bred is the only original thing we can lay claim to when you strip it down.

I've some bad news for you ....

Palace fans sang a version of 'Build a bonfire' before World War 2. After the 'build a bonfire' bit it went:
"Put the Arsenal on the top,
Tottenham Hotspur in the middle,
And then burn the bloomin' lot!"

The 'Clementine' tune's been used a lot by football fans. In the 1960s I remember singing at Brighton a version that enquired of the referee as to the whereabouts of his father.

EDIT: I've never heard another club do a version of "Molly Malone", (another Brighton song from the 1960s), although surely some must have done. Apart from GOSBTS that's the only song I can think of that I haven't heard some other club do some other version of at some other time.
