Could Billy change the anthem

[Edinblade]

Has Billy done enough for the ultimate accolade, a change to the Greasy Chip Butty:

You fill up my senses
Like a gallon of magnate
Like a packet of Woodbine
Like a good pinch of snuff
LIKE THE FAT LAD FROM SHEFFIELD
Like a greasy chip butty
Like Sheffield United
Come fill me again

It would be the ultimate reward.

 

[DronnieBlade]

No.

Just No.

UTB

 

[Gimli]

The anthem rightly doesn't have any player names in, past or present. Every player, however good or whatever contribution they make, will eventually leave. But Sheffield United remains!

 

[Tyler Durden]

Nah "he doesn't do enough" remember....

 

[Ben_1982]

Come fill me again... have you really thought about what your wanting to sing!

 

[Edinblade]

Come fill me again... have you really thought about what your wanting to sing!

This made me laugh, I hadn't considered that

 

[1973Blade]

No, but instead of the tired 'We've got Billy Sharp', hopefully we will stick with the ironic/iconic 'fat lad from Sheffield'.

 

[Clarkey87]

No.

Just No.

This!

 

[DronnieBlade]

Nah.

Top scorer in the country Billy Sharp ???

Surely you are mistaken

No, and its maggots, by the way

Maggots

It isn't appropriate. It won't catch on. And neither should it.

I always get annoyed at people who think it's magnet. Idiots.

EXPOSED! One of the minority of fans who do not know the words to the GCB song. It's "Magnet" not "magnate" or "maggotts". "Magnet" - was a strong beer from John Smith's brewery - very popular around these parts at the time the GCB song was made up.

For the record: "magnate" - is another word for a rich business person, a tycoon.

And "maggotts" - are the larvae of flies. Sold in "pints" so I'm led to understand - but not gallons.

 

[PokerBlade]

I'm fairly sure it's Magners, the cider.

 

[Worksop II]

I think this says it all .....

Maggots (that's how it's spelt)

Definitely maggots

Maggots.

Eight pints = one gallon.

Just saying.

 

[Kenilworth]

Eight pints = one gallon.

Just saying.

But 8 pints of ale is far more appropriate and realistic and in times gone by, somewhat essential.
Football
Fags
Food
Beer.
That's the senses fulfilled.

You don't go fucking fishing on a match day unless you're not going to the game. Besides, 8 pints of maggots turns you from a fisherman to a bloody zoo keeper / river warden

Every year I tell this story. After Rotherham '84 I was traveling back to Sheffield on the bus and there was a group of lads singing GCB. It was the first time I'd heard it and it was definitely Magnet. And that makes sense because Woodbines, Snuff and Chip Butties are consumables. It's basically a list of the simple pleasures in life, a night out in the eighties; beer, tobacco, greasy carb laden food. It's rough, basic and we love it. Like United.
But if maggots are what you're into, sing 'maggots' it doesn't really matter.

Another misconception is that it's "come fill me again", it's actually "come thrill me again".

 

[seanbeenstattoo]

and it's neither Magnet nor Maggots.
It's Manjuice.

 

[Hamburg Blade]

Another misconception is that it's "come fill me again", it's actually "come thrill me again".

I always used to sing "come thrill me again" and was under the impression that this was another of the word changes - it seems to have gone out of fashion though and I am repeatedly told I am wrong. I prefer the "thrill me again" conclusion, I find it fitting for a football match.

EDIT: and can't believe maggots/magnet is being discussed seriously. Maggots is just a wind-up, surely.

I think it probably evolved into "fill" because it's easier to say after a skinful. But it'll always be "thrill" for me because I'm more refined and sophisticated

With reference to my previous post, no, it's fill. As in 'you fill up my senses, come fill me again'.

Exactly, no player is bigger than this club!
