'Memries' Weird, Wonderful and Bizarre

[SouthEssexBlade]

Following on from the rather splendidly surreal new manager song thread. What are the weird, strange, bizarre and just downright crazy things you've heard from the stands during your time following The Blades. I'm talking chants, songs, ditties rather than stuff shouted by lone loonies.

Anyone remember, from the early 70s, the kop to and fro chant, "Celtic, Rangers!"? Never understood the what and why with that one. And I know he was lone wolf, but the "Tarzan" cry just before kick-off was a bizarre but quite funny one.

 

[Deaneandagana]

Harry Haslam, Danny Begara bibbity bobbity boo, put em together and what have you got, dibbity dobbity doo.

Or somert like that?

 

[Hagansbootlaces]

Not a song but the short lived ticker tape 'celebrations' before kick off, after Sabella signed

Lone colonies have feelings too you know.

Loonies. Loonies.

I remember that Tarzan cry in the 1993-1994 season - Bryan Gunn was running up to take a goal kick for Norwich in the times he had long straggly blonde hair. I nearly wet myself laughing

Eeeeiiiiiii Eeeeiiiiiii ..... oooooooh !!!

To the coppers at the back of the Kop.

I think Weeds still do it now!

 

[Bennyand the Blades]

I can remember one time a stunned silence on the kop, it was back in the days of the three sided ground ,and in those days the away supporters usually gathered on the John street side in front of the raised seated area,.
We were playing one of the London clubs, Spurs I think, when suddenly they all burst into song and we on the Kop just stood there gob smacked!!!!!
It's nothing now I know but back in those days to use bad language was frowned upon and to hear hundreds of opposition supporters all sing out " You can shove your Yorkshire pudding up your arse" really shook us back then......

 

[davey1889]

I used to enjoy the slow tempo "Eric, Eric, Eric" that we used to sing to the Bradford keeper (Eric McManus??) in the early 80s...

Not sure how that came about

 

[Cheesebored]

Nobody puts- the ball in the net- like Edwards- Keith Edwards, to Bachelors cuppa soup advert.

Before my time that.
Always liked “brian Deane and Tony agana bibbity bobbity boo. Put em together and what have you got? Top of division two.”

Not really pc these days but this was done in a really camp way. McManus was definitely unnerved. In a similar way was the chant to Grimsby fans of ‘Mariners, Mariners.’ This time with a very limp wristed wave. Grimsby fans knew we were taking the piss but couldn’t really work out why.

The last time Bert saw and heard him was on that fateful day when we got relegated at Chelsea in 1994

Bert's memory has informed him that the Tarzan guy has Weissmuller on the back of his shirt.

A copper pulled me on the Shoreham and asked me what that song meant

 

[foggy72]

Sat on the kop in the mid/late 90's whilst playing Watford and some bloke on his own singing for the entire match "Elton John takes it up the arse, Elton John takes it up the arse" in the style of 'go west' by the pet shop boys. It was mildly amusing for the first 2 minutes but ultimately he ended up sounding like a jilted lover who was missing Elton John's arse.

If I recall, and I would only be about 12-13 years old, it was the Old McDonald Had a Farm song referencing the pigs ......... E I E I O.

Then there was the Harry Roberts song ....... another dig at our boys in blue.

Or somert like that?

Someone is going to tell me I'm way off the mark here but anyway .......

I think this song was born at Meadow Lane one midweek night during a League match (someone might be able to confirm the date). We were stood behind the goal on the open end and it was packed as usual. Then someone was shouting to everyone Shhhhhhhh , I've got a new song and it was the Haslam/Bagara song. If my memory is right (and it usually isn't) the someone in question was Cooper Man.

I think we won 2-1 with a late Keith Edwards goal ???

In a very girly voice

A random chant that started at Grimsby was

"Cock, cock, cock, cock, Cockerell,
Cockadoodledodadoodleoooo"

Everyone jumping about like lunatics to the Cockadoodledoodadoodledoo bit

 

[DifferentClass]

Against Citeh late 90s when they were utterly shit:

Blades are winning and we all start singing "we hate Wendy, we hate Wendy" etc. and Citeh fans respond with "we hate Saturday, we hate Saturday"

 

[Jon Bon II]

Bert's memory has informed him that the Tarzan guy has Weissmuller on the back of his shirt.

Does his son have a shirt with 'Sheffield' on the back?

 

[Northyorksblade]

Another Grimsby moment, five fat jellyfish sitting on a rock and one fell off. Ohhhhhh on and on ad infinitum.
Perhaps you had to be there.

 

[Nosworthys Throw]

Away at Huddersfield, fuck knows when, big fat pissed up Huddersfield fan sat in front row, shirt off, giving it large to the blades fans until a capeless hero, tired of his shit banter, pointed at him and bellowed at the top of his lungs "dud dud derrup DIIIIIABETES"

 

[Northyorksblade]

In the days of our luminous yellow shirt. Birmingham City fans singing 'Ground full of stewards, you've got a ground full of stewards'

 

[Jon Bon II]

In the 70's, when someone missed an easy chance or shot wide, the chant was "Ey-yo, Ey-yo, Ey-yo, Ey-yo, Ey-yo... etc" We used to do it at school when somebody missed - not me, obviously, cos I was King Shitliner...

 

[LudlamBlade]

A good mate I used to go to games with had a personal fave of...

"GIZZA GUH, AHH CAN DO THAT"

Whenever there was a shot shanked by either team

 

[Nosworthys Throw]

Cant remember who this was against but i tipped my hat to it, might have been Cardiff, we were singing our shit "United clap clap clap United" song, so they sung it back at us but with really high pitched girly voices

We didnt sing it again

 

[Gin&Juice]

Remember one chant about Chris Porter and a guitar. Can’t remember how it went!
