ChinaOwl Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 I remember once reading that a group of supporters connected to a non league club (think it might have been Gateshead) were singing "You're just a poor man's Evian" at an FA Cup qualifying match in Buxton. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think part of the song (maybe all of it) is printed at the beginning of a chapter in the 'Flying with the OCS' book, which would also fit with the late 80s/early 90s timeline. The line you've printed seems to be from much earlier (possibly 60s) when football chants seemed to much 'gentler' on the whole. Maybe the one I can recount was based on your original chant and was updated to reflect the times (for some). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beswetherick Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Not the funniest, but the videos of Northern Ireland fans all going mental singing Will Grigg’s on fire at Euro 2016 were class 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChinaOwl Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 The best chants are not the footie ones in my opinion. Some of the stuff that the England Barmy Army cricket fans come out with are absolutely mint. listening to them is often better than watching the cricket. "One dog went to bed, went to bed with Shane Warne" "He's got the sandpaper in his hand" (Steve Smith song). The Johnny Bairstow song. And loads of others. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HIGHERSTATE Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 I always loved- QPR fans to the Lion Sleeps tonight 'Awinaway Awinaway Awinaway Awinaway We're the Rangers the mighty Rangers we never winaway, We're the Rangers the mighty Rangers we never winaway, Awinaway Awinaway Awinaway Awinaway' One that always makes me laugh. 'You're nothing special, we lose every week.' This is what it's like being a football fan of a team that's not of the privileged top 4 or 5 premiership. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yeadonowl Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 3 hours ago, OWL1969 said: Although I wanted Rangers to win, the video of Hibs fans singing this after the Cup Final is immense. Real spine tingler. So I agree. The funniest I remember being sung to us was from Bristol City fans many years ago I only read it in the Green un, as I like over 2.5k didn't get there due to the snow (our coach made it all the way to Prince of Wales Road and back in about 3 hours). To the few hundred Wednesday fans who did manage to get there, as the snow continued to fall they chanted "One bed and Breakfast, there's only one bed and Breakfast, one bed and Breakfast" always amused me. Our own funny ones that stick in my mind Are "she's got chlamydia" at Birmingham And although a long time (and you had to be there) "We know, where you live, in them flats, in them flats" At the old Den. Remember that song being sung at the Old Den when we drew 4-4 in the cup down there in about 91 Think the flats were behind the old terrace that ran the length of the pitch. Just remember us being caged in completely in one corner and the knuckle scrapers from Milwall still trying to get at us. Happy days!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
