Listening to the radio the other day, a song came on and I had a little smile and uttered the immortal words, 'Buggles cunt'

Night match, be the April 1972 1-1

 

[Russ]

Great song back in the day Bert, along with You're going home in a fucking ambulance.

Your going home in a sheffield ambulance.

I thought it was Yorkshire Ambulance.

Must have changed over time.

Back in the apparently the early Unitedites used to sing 'who ate all the pies' to a certain rotund Goalkeeper that we had on our books who weighed 22 stone, and I remember reading that the Blades fans (again late 1800s / early 1900s) used to sing a song called 'we are the Randy Dandy Boys'. It was about a group of lads going out on the piss all day at the races and getting up to no good. Never been able to track down the actual lyrics though.

But as there was reports of violence breaking out between Utd and Wendy's fans back at Olive Grove, it seems that we have always had a 'boisterous set of lads' following us. The original lads long since gone now though of course.

 

[247Blade]

Jump down turn around kickem in the b****x
Jump down turn around kickem in the head
Oh lordy kickem in the b****x
Oh lordy kickem in the head.

Those were the days early 70s

 

[Rodley]

He's fat, he's round,
He weighs 400 pound
Fatty Foulkes
Fatty Foulkes.

He loved this song did William, he used to doff his cap and eat a ham in front of the Kop, to huge cheers and rattle waving.

Was that game against Glossop when the matchday programme seller sang “Programmes, One Penny” and a group of urchins started repeating in to a rhythm as he walked around the side of the pitch? MemrieZ!

Jump down turn around kickem in the b****x
Jump down turn around kickem in the head
Oh lordy kickem in the b****x
Oh lordy kickem in the head.

I’m bow legged chicken, I’m a knocked kneed hen...

We stood on the Clock End, Highbury...

 

[3-GBlade]

Roll along Sheffield United roll along
put the ball in the net where it belongs
when Hagan gets the ball, it's sure to be a goal
roll along Sheffield United roll along...........

That one is older than Hagen's time....

I am most saddened to have to report my Grandmother (of all people!) used to rather gloatingly tell me about singing it along the Penistone (or Infirmary) Road in 1935 with some shockingly disgraceful references to "The Wednesday" and "Ronnie Starling"

 

[Ainsley Harriott]

Bastard, Bastard, Bastard, Bastard...

Thanks. Spat my tea all over the place

 

[Rodley]

Thanks. Spat my tea all over the place

One of the worst changes in recent times was people chanting “Wanker” rather than “Bastard”

 

[3-GBlade]

Take my heart, take my whole life too
But I can't help falling in love with you.....
United!!!

I never knew if that was a generic football thing, but it is the earliest I can remember....

 

[rosy red]

Whenever your sad
Whenever your blue
Whenever United are playing
Beneath the Kop we'll fight like fuck to keep the red flag flying

 

[rosy red]

Your scoreboards no good and your stands made of tin
We'll drown all you bastards in bottles and tins
10,000 wednesdayites dead on the floor
They won't come on Shoreham Street Kopp anymore.

 

[Eskimo]

Well one of my first recollections was the kop singing, when were were well on top in a night match. must date to 1964 ish.

When you’re strollling
Just strolling
By the light of the silvery moon
I don’t envy the rich in their automobile
A motorbike is phoney
I’d rather shag a pony
When you’re strolling.

Anyone??

 

[Angef1Blade]

Wrong lyrics (Ritchie was never on an iron lung)

Alan Brown Alan Brown is it true what Ricthie says your Iron Lung has broken down

The memoy fades with time

 

[Angef1Blade]

Your scoreboards no good and your stands made of tin
We'll drown all you bastards in bottles and tins
10,000 wednesdayites dead on the floor
They won't come on Shoreham Street Kopp anymore.

I'd forgotten about that one- it was one of my faves

 

[Cheets]

Oh Sheffield is wonderful
Oh it is for United
Sheffield is wonderful

The actual second line is slightly less PC than that.

 

[Bert]

Your scoreboards no good and your stands made of tin
We'll drown all you bastards in bottles and tins
10,000 wednesdayites dead on the floor
They won't come on Shoreham Street Kopp anymore.

1st verse ended 'heard of the Shoreham aggro' did it not?

Nay, lad, it were maggots!

I know some people remember Shoreham aggro, but my memory is SU-FC

I guess songs change down the years

Both right IMO

Most songs in t'old days were nicked from Manure anyway

 

[BornOnShorehamStreet]

Immediately after scoring in the mid 70's the Kop would always 'sing'

Der de der
Der de der
Der de der de der de der
Der de der der de der der de der

I can sing it in my head , it's to the tune of a popular refrain, but I'm buggered if I know which one.

I've got earworm with it now.

Cheers.

Der, der
Der, der, derrr, United
Der, der
Der, der, derrr, United

Only ever heard this one once

Hodgy, Hodgy,
buy us Mick Jones
Hodgy, buy us Mick Jones

First game at the Lane after we sold him to Leeds and we sang it just once.

We sang it when the teams came out and Hodgy ran to his 6 yard box, firing at us with his index fingers and giving us a sad smile.

He knew how we were feeling

Beggared if I can remember the name of the source song

 

[Sean Thornton]

Wrong lyrics (Ritchie was never on an iron lung)

Alan Brown Alan Brown is it true what Ricthie says your Iron Lung has broken down

It was “Ritchie says his iron lung has broken down”

He had TB while at Stoke.

Same game after Mick Jones had gone to Leeds ( I think it was against Newcastle ) Only about 16000 there and I was an impressionable 13 year old .. lots of emotion on the Kop.
”Send Dick Wragg to Vietnam.... Hallelujah”
and Michael Jones, Michael Jones is it true what a Harris says, you won’t come back , oh no oh noooo

Down to the station jump on a train we're off to see united win the Cup again down on the terraces doing the rock an roll come on united score another goal.
