'Memries' Weird, Wonderful and Bizarre

[Sheffsteel]

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

Reminds me of the joke “what’s the difference between a cockerel and a prostitute”

One cries “cockadoodledoo”......the other cries “anycockledoo”

 

[Lane Ender]

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.

Yep

 

[raul]

Is Ian Duncan Moore on here??

 

[Eyeball]

What about ‘ooh it’s a corner, ooh it’s a corner, av a go’
Most ridiculous chant as we’ve always been poor at them.

No we havent

 

[Bennyand the Blades]

I can remember one of my proudest moments, March 4 1961. Away to Newcastle Utd. in the FA cup.
One of my mates had booked the trip with the SUT. and it included tickets. for all six of us,
Unfortunately it turned out they were all for standing on the Newcastle kop, in a crowd of 54,640 and for some reason ? I think we were the only Blades on it.
We won 3-1, Billy Russell scored all three and it was for us, the quietist victory I can remember us ever attending,
We were looking down on the Blades fans under one of those corrugated roofed stands on our left hand side, and half way through the second half in this very quiet packed stadium. we heard them singing "On ilkley moor baht at" and no kidding my hart swelled to near breaking point ...... '

 

[Eyeball]

" Tip toe through the Spion Kop, with your boots on, get your head kicked in, come tip toe through the Spion Kop, with me"

kudos to anyone who can remember the song this was taken from and the name of the American cult artist who sang it ?

I'm on a roll here.

Tiny Tim wasn’t it??

That's what we have all been singing this season just gone as well

Correct

Bertie Mee said to Don Revie have you heard of the North Bank Highbury, he said no, I don't think so, but I've heard of the Shoreham...agro !....Na nà NA na na na, na.....etc

It was Bill Shankly that Bertie was taking to, not Don Revie.

I remember the iron lung one as well

 

[BornOnShorehamStreet]

This old man, number one, wonders where the ball has gone
etc

I think there is a video on here somewhere of myself, Blackheath Blade Greenwich Blade WalthamstowBlade a d few others singing the right words of this at the funeral of the much missed Marcus. It was his favourite sung with gusto and increasing menace as he imbibed more ale. Still miss the funny little chuff.

Which Marcus? There's Cho and Geitz but who was the the other one? A London Blade if I remember rightly.

[Rufus Smalls]

Digging an old and rare one out here to the tune of Grocer Jack ......

Alan Ball, Alan Ball
Is it true what Haslam says
You’re worth fuck all
Oh Alan Ball

When he played against us for Blackpool.

 

[Digger]

It was probably early 80s and the kop used to sing
"Shorehams here, Shorehams there, Shorehams every fucking where"
One game (Cant remember opposition) a tannoy announcement warned of eviction if anyone used foul language.
Almost immediately a chant went up:
"Shorehams here, Shorehams there,
Shorehams not allowed to swear "
Genius.

Dearden never scored for us at Ipswich. He missed a penalty in the 0-0 draw in April 1972. Our next three league matches at Poertman Road were 1-1, 1-0 and 1-0. Woody scored in all three k

Bugger me wi thick end of a ragmans trumpet. Deffo Ipswich but could have sworn it was Billy. Ah well,as the great Poet Keets said: " A wins a win".

 

[Maidenhead]

"Bring on the bastard"

As referee Kevin McNally emerged on to the BDTBL turf for the first time after having sent Keeley and Woodward off at Burnley the previous time that he had reffed us.

 

[Maidenhead]

A split on the kop, half with singing "used to be a pig but he's alright now, Terry, Terry"

Whilst the other half simply sang "Curran is a bastard"

[Rooks]

The Laurel and Hardy theme tune sang to the Police when they walked in front of the Kop.

One of the regular Police Officers on duty was a big chuff whose helmet rested on his head as it was too small or he had a big head, one or the other.

 

[davey1889]

In the 70s on the Kop singing Allez Rouge and waving small Union Jack flags, not sure what that was about.

I think that came from St. Etienne. Liverpool played them in a European tie and they had little French flags and chanted "Allez les verts" which apparently caught on.

Happy to be told this is wrong...

Blades get skanked in the FA Cup semi when Grahame Pohl body slams Tongey to the ground and helps Arsenal to score.

Pohl next comes to BDTBL when we play Dirty Leeds in the League Cup (it may have been the game Jags scored from just outside our own box in the last minute).

As Pohl runs onto the park three sides start with "Grahame Pohl is an Arsenal fan" - which Leeds mis-hear and join in with "Grahame Pohl takes it up the arse"

Made me smile

 

[reedy63]

You gonna get yeh fuckin heads kick in after the opposition scored against us. Happened a lot in the late seventies.

[Rooks]

The " Celtic, Rangers", thing was a decade later surely, early 80s ?

Definately the 70's

 

[tyke1889]

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.

Still gets a run out now and again on Kaz's coaches.

 

[tyke1889]

Flinders licks windows, he licks them all day...

Hartlepool?

 

[Plymouthblade]

Wembley to play the pigs in the fa cup semi final, full bus everyone had a few beviies and bladders bursting near Northampton ish so we stops on the hard shoulder of the M1.
Everyone piles off for a piss on the banking and there was a live pig painted blue and white stripes in the field next to us never know to this day how that occurred

 

[Blackheath Blade]

Spot on BOSS. Marcus Raynor. Late of Hinde House, Sheffield; Bounds Green, London. London Blade, Legend. Sadly missed.
