Oldest song you remember sung at the lane

[Sportbilly /Detroit Blade]

He's fat he's round his arse drags on the ground Shipperley, Shipperley.

 

[Flumps]

Not at the Lane but my earliest memory of football and of a chant is quite simply

"The referee's a wanker"

My dad and his brothers are Owls and when I was about 6 or 7 he took me to Hillsborough to watch Wednesday V Man U.

My mom is a Blade, he tried bless him but she cooked my teas so. Blade I became.

 

[Sportbilly /Detroit Blade]

I do remember going to watch Scunthorpe United (I used to live there) in the mid 80s, and hearing what felt like half the stand singing "trigger, trigger, trigger" ...and you know the rest. Find it hard to believe things were like that back then. We still have a long way to go but society has moved on no end in some respects.

 

[Digs blade]

An old favourite. but not sung for YEARS! Bring it back Blades (if they ever let us in the fuckin' place again)

1 man went to mow, went to mow a meadow,
1 man and his dog, (Spot),
went to mow a meadow.

2 men went to mow, went to mow a meadow,
2 men,
1 man,
and his dog (Spot),
went to mow a meadow

(Carry on up to 10, with the 10th verse being sang especially loud!).

Remember this being sang at Lincoln in the small stand behind the goal early eighties.

I was on the open side terrace and remember looking over and the whole stand rise when they got to 10 men, followed by a rousing edition of united united.

I suppose you had to be there but it was a great sight at the time

It was our equivalent of the Mexican wave!

 

[1066blade]

Micheal Jones, Michael Jones, is it true what mummy says you wont come back oh no, no.

Based on the song by Keith West's Teensage Opera 1966/7 - this after the sale of said player to cheating fucking Leeds.

 

[Radders]

"Who's that man with the big red nose? Ooh, ah, ooh ah ah"
Used to get sung at the back of the Kop, mid to late sixties. There were quite a few lines but I can't remember the rest.

 

[bypassblade]

Does anyone remember
Mrs Hall's toffee rolls are the best
Mrs Hall's toffee rolls are the greatest
She uses Strawberry milk from her breasts
And her husband does the rest

This was sung in 70's

 

[bladestrivia]

Not the oldest but anyone remember under Bassett when we couldn’t win a game We will win again don’t know we’re don’t know when but iam sure we will again some Saturday

 

[bladestrivia]

Probably earliest I remember was we hate Nottingham Forest we hate Sunderland to we hate Sheffield Wednesday but United we love you

 

[bladestrivia]

Another one from the 70s blades fans taking piss out of Notts Country keeper Eric McManus Eric Eric give us a wave Eric give us a wave sung a few years later at the Stockport keeper in 4th division season

 

[bypassblade]

An old favourite of fans was when a young lass nice figure walked round perimeter of pitch, is was always GET YOUR TITS OUT FOR THE LADS.

 

[3-GBlade]

Or the immortal and ever changeable to suit

Jackie Charlton's fucked it up again....

 

[United Aren't Back.]

A very old one that an auntie taught me about Jimmy Dunne being a fine Irish lad, the best centre forward that United ever had.

And if he doesn't score a goal, we will put him on the dole and send him back to Ireland in the morning.

Seems a bit harsh, i have no idea what they would have done with Connor Salmon or Craig Beattie

Utb

..... Or 10, 000 others.

 

[United Aren't Back.]

I thought it was Yorkshire Ambulance.

Must have changed over time.

It was indeed Yorkshire ambulance.

 

[United Aren't Back.]

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

Sounds like it'd be better if it said
Whenever you're happy
Whenever you're glad...

Unless it's Clough Adkins era.....

 

[United Aren't Back.]

He's fat he's round his arse drags on the ground Shipperley, Shipperley.

Pity there wasn't one about him exposing his cock to teenage girls and their mother... but that all lay in the future.

 

[chipsncake]

"Who's that man with the big red nose? Ooh, ah, ooh ah ah"
Used to get sung at the back of the Kop, mid to late sixties. There were quite a few lines but I can't remember the rest.

The more he drinks, the more it glows.

 

[derfblade.3]

Bertie Mee said to Bill Shankly,
Have you heard Alan Brown has got VD,
He said yes
He's in a mess
And so are the Wednesday FC!

 

[bladestrivia]

There’s only 4 on the special 4 on the special sang to the Chezzy fans at the lane

 

[KingKeith]

One I remember went,
Bertie Mee said to Bill Shankly
Have you heard of the great Pele
He said no I dont think so
But I've heard of Tony Currie.

Could easily be changed

guardiola said to Juergen Klopp
Have you heard of the great messi
He said no I don’t think so
But I’ve heard of lys mousett/ sander berger/ John Egan/ Chris basham

 

[Argentinemanager]

In our sheffield home
We stand under a statue in fitzalan square
Speak in an accent exceedingly rare
In our sheffield home

 

[GrayBlade]

When I were a lad, my old Dad and my a Brother in law’s Dad (who supported the dark side) used to have a sing off after they’d had a few jars at Christmas. One song they both sang started with...
‘Play up United/Wednesday boys, Wednesday/United play like toys....’
And ended with ‘So play up United/Wednesday boys!’ at which point everybody joined in and shouted United or Wednesday depending on who they supported.

I can’t recall any other words. I guess the tune has to be 80+ years old, anybody else remember their parents singing it or are old enough to remember singing it at the Lane?

 

[Argentinemanager]

When jeff becks hi ho silver lining came out we used to sing this with
Sheff united
On a side when dj’s played it in the top rank it resulted in brawls all over the place

 

[HighfieldBlade]

And after all
We got Fatty Foulke

circa 1898

I remember from that same era "Needham, Needham, Needham" to the same chant as "Deano, Deano, Deano".

 

[Lane Ender]

When jeff becks hi ho silver lining came out we used to sing this with
Sheff united

Yea when you got thrown out they still let you in next week

 

[Sean Thornton]

Does anyone remember
Mrs Hall's toffee rolls are the best
Mrs Hall's toffee rolls are the greatest
She uses Strawberry milk from her breasts
And her husband does the rest

This was sung in 70's

Always had that as a Pig song.

 

[TONY_TONY_AGANA]

Shoreham aggro! Shoreham aggro! Hello, hello!

 

[bypassblade]

Always had that as a Pig song.

I don't know Sean but it was sung on our kop regularly mate

 

[ShorehamRevolution]

Can anyone remember during the early 2000’s while the foot and mouth crisis was on singing
“Don’t go to Hillsborough you’ll get foot and mouth”
