Feckin' 'ell SF - Have you just been defrosted or summat?

Early 70's on the Kop....it was always played!

 

[Maidenhead]

Early 70's on the Kop....it was always played!

Yep, and as a result I love it

The song ringing in our ears as we walked out of the ground after TC and his pal Woody had shit on yet another team!

Well I only started going mid 70s so I missed that one.

Actually there must be some sort of time warp around Sheffield cos avery time I drive up and back down the M1 on trips for work and put on Radio Sheffield it seems to have the same music from when I was growing up - either that or the box of records has never been updated

 

[BornOnShorehamStreet]

Swords of a Thousand Men - Tenpole Tudor maybe?

 

[BornOnShorehamStreet]

Im not suggesting this for the play list, more of an enquiry.

But a few (maybe a lot of years ago) we had a thing at half time where we played songs by local bands, and I can't remember the name of the band, just one line of the song (which turns out is quite catchy), it went;

"...and its here at Sheffield 2 where all we want to do is back the Blades, and see the Owls go down"

Can anyone else remember this song?!

I remember that. I think it was written and performed by a local student.
I seem to remember the words, "I don't mind Monday but I can't stand Wednesday" in it some where

 

[boo radley]

This thread needs a YouTube fettling from raul and Oreyt. Come on boys, do your worst!

Ssshhh, bloody ell you've tagged em. Now we're gonna get something from Queen Boudica and the Druids or Attila and the Gauls. (yes they got together for a couple of songs).

Have a look at the the pitch section...

 

[GRUMPY BLADE]

One for the oldies.....

I always associate this with the John St?

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

The prodigy's back catalogue encompasses a number of song titles that could go hand in hand with events on the day.

We don't turn up again and fail to score - No Good
John Brayford (The Beard Mk. II) scores - Omen
It goes to a penalty shoot out - Breathe
A player does 'a Simonsen' in said penalty shootout - Out of Space
Fans set off flares - Firestarter
Hull player gets sent off for dissent/violent conduct - Baby's Got a Temper
Hull fans wander into a Blades pub - Invaders Must Die
Hull score a last minute winner - Smack My Bitch Up
We score a last minute winner and you end up in a crumpled heap two rows infront - Take Me to the Hospital

 

[Staffs_Blade]

What about - Alan Martin (interrupted by Bobby Knutt) - I'm following Sheffield United

"Oh, I'm following Sheffield United
I'll follow 'em to the ends of the earth"

Unfortunately, no youtube video or recording so you'll have to make do with picture of said record below.

On second thoughts, perhaps not.

 

[Esablade]

Ok pop pickers...here's the chart run down:

Hunting Tigers-Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band



This Town Ain't Big Enough For Zthe Both Of Us- Sparks




...and of course D.I.S.C.O-Ottawan

 

[BornOnShorehamStreet]

I believe it was called 'United Sing-a-long" or something similar, no idea who by. My sis had it on CD I think, not sure if she still does, but she doesn't throw/give music away! If memory serves, the chorus went:

"Oh I don't like Monday but I can't stand Wednesday, there's only one team in this town, and it's here at Sheffield 2 where all we want to do is back the Blades and see the Owls go down."

I'm pretty sure some of the verses referenced players of the time, there was definitely a bit with 'Petr Kachouro, Jan Fjortoft'. I'll ask me sis, she can probably remember everything about it!

How about a real blast from the past ..on Ilkley moor bah tat!

Sat in the sun without any shade: Weather Experience or The Heat
Incase of another Graham Poll type incident: Their Law
On the way to Wembley with the miscreants Ill be going with: Poison, 3 kilos, Charley

Bit of an obscure question but this seems the best thread to ask it. Does anyone remember if the Chicory Tip number 1 (1972) 'Son of My Father' was used as a football chant /song? According to Wikipedia it was. I vaguely remember something. Look forward to hearing from those with a better memory than me.

I certainly do, but can't remember how it was 'doctored' to suit. Also Chris Farlow & The Jazz Men 'I'm a Yesterday Man' became 'I'm a Sheff. United fan'.

 

[BornOnShorehamStreet]

Usually in a pub or night club some time back in the late 60s and to the tune of "Hey girl, don't bother me."

"Wednesday don't bother me."
Repeated until fed up

Here's what she said...

"You're right with the title. It was Max Patrick. Don't know about all/most of the lyrics, but I know the chorus and snatches of the verses. My favourite bit is something like: We've got Nilsson, Short and Vonk Petr Katchuro, Jan Fj'toft [someone else] and David White to name a few [I forget the next line] 'Utchison running down the flank Alan Kelly stops the ball from getting through"

S2 is fast becoming most unlike S2 isn't it?

That tune was used for:-

"Oh Tony Tony
Tony Tony Tony Tony Kenworthy"

Also for Tony Agana later on.

I'm not sure who it would be used for in the early 70's?
The last name has to be three syllables or it doesn't scan.

Believe it or not we have a copy. It's pretty dire.

What is the classical song they used to play just before the teams came out (was used on X Factor and stuff like that too)?Bugging me.

 

[Oreyt]

It'd be this for me. If we did it of course.
