SiJ Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 My fav bit of that article was: "A few phone calls later and it was done - Terry agreed to meet me and tell me everything." Makes it sound like he was arranging a meet up with a former mob informer or something. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were still 11 open when we left Millmoor. Although by the time I was singing this in the 90s we had changed the lyrics to a 'Night out in Rotherham' cos at the time that was also a decent night out. Not now tho obviously.

Utah Owl Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 We need to rewrite the lyrics to "Second-Hand Rose" for them! They've got a second hand ground Songs with a second hand sound That's why they're known as The second hand Blades! Everything is borrowed it's no mystery Yet still it seems to end up as "their history" The Blades nickname is the same It's just a second hand name The piggies from S2, the piggies from S2!

alanharper Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 The lyrics were scrawled on a toilet wall - stay classy, Rotherham! It doesn't really matter who started it tbh, it's still associated with the pigs and nobody else. It suits them as well, it just makes them sound like tramps singing about Woodbines and snuff - surely they were associated with old men even in the 80s? Probably still the height of trendy sophistication in Rotherham but not in Sheffield. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheEnchanter Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Weirdest freakiest song ever. The kop is full of ham faced mentalists as they belt it out with all their bacon. Proper weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopparberg Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Always sounded a dreary song to me. Although, there is others in football like that tbf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
