[Albion] We are The Boys From The Old Brighton Blue

[Hornblower]

Playing vinyl this morning as we do on a Saturday morning and found the above amongst my old 45’s and played it. Also found my father-in-law’s (a Spurs fan) 45 of Ossie’s Dream with CH on the sleeve, going to play it tomorrow morning.

What was the earlier song '..places to go teams to beat, look at that football ain't it neat...' ?

Our Chris is having a good old sing-a-long in this year..

Which raises the question, has there ever been a decent football single that involves the team?

Or any team, come to that?

World in motion?

Probably the only one. And the best football tune ever as well.

No. Never. Nor will there be.

Thanks. Radio Brighton on a 70s Sunday morning. I'm back there..

Although it does sound like an Aboriginal folk song. Just needs a needs a didgeridoo.

He was a one man band wasn't he? I swear my dad took me to see him down the legion. I've got the single in the loft still.

Obviously warped if the word in sounds like from.

I would like to have a song /anthem that could be sung more slowly a bit like Spurs sing Spurs go marching. GOSBTS could we slow it up and get the whole ground singing it.
Just a thought or could another song be better.

A point of order. Wasn't it: We Are The Boys in the Old Brighton Blue?

 

[Bozza]

Yes, yes it was:

It was "In Brighton", a pretty ropey version of the Drifters classic On Broadway.

Point of order, didn't I allude to that in a sarcastic manner two posts up?
