King Tudor

[Silent Blade]

Been asked this... I cannot answer this as I cannot hear the songs. Hope you can help please?
Just couple of questions Peter I think I am right in thinking John got labelled King Tudor after scoring the winner against Sheffield Wednesday ?? Also did the Hallelujah John Tudor start?

I remember a song which started with "Chip, chip, chip, chip, Tudor ......"
Well, that's what I thought the words were.

[Pedro Verde]

One of the best headers of a ball Ive ever seen
And we all went mad when Tudor scored a goal

I think the words following that was ..'score another goal for me !'
Long time ago tho,so I prepare to be corrected !

 

[MagnifiqueShorehamStreet]

Remember a song that went something like……

Hallelujah king Tudor, King Tudor,
When we get promoted, this is what we’ll sing,
We all love you, we all love you,
Tudor is our king

Think it predated, the 3-2,derby game, though

I think that's 2 songs,the Hallelujah King Tudor,King Tudor,then the 'When we got promoted' had a different beginning,but can't remember the lines before it.

That’s it!
Yep, got the 2 songs mixed up
Can’t even remember where I put my keys 5 minutes ago, so what chance remembering chants from 55 years ago?
Good times, though

Ford and Hope for him , we were robbed .

 

[bladesince64]

I remember that feeling of being gutted when your club sells your hero and star goalscorer.

Hope was extremely influential in getting us promoted after Hodgy couldn't cut it anymore.

Think the King Tudor title started on his arrival at the club. He scored 2 on his debut in a 2-0 win at Bury I think and a further 2 the week after in a 4-0 win v Preston. Relying on my memory for this so might not be 100 % correct but remember the Preston game clearly. Highlights were shown the next day so might be somewhere on YouTube

Apologies Silent. I know you won't be able to hear this musical masterpiece. From the Shoreham Street CD.

Was his lucky Gonk that got us promoted. Loved it when Hope conducted the Kop with " going up going up going up" to me as a kid it was unforgetable

Yes,

Did he score a hat-trick in a 5-0/5-1 midweek away win away at pompy , or was that a dream ?

Can't remember, but he was a brilliant player for us whilst he was here, great header of the ball,. Shame that we never mentioned his name or a minutes silence when he passed away

I heard king Tudor at his first game when he scored 2 at Bury. Went on the train from Sheffield Victoria station.

 

[Knackered Blade]

Yes,

After McNab scored that own goal, all the Kop started singing "McNab, McNab give us a goal" everytime he touched the ball, which was rather amusing.

Think there was a bit if friction between him and John Harris. Tudor was signed when Arthur Rowley was manager. I remember the following season we were losing at home to Swindon and he was substitute that day. The chant of 'Tudor, Tudor 'rang out from the Kop but the substitution never came. We lost 2-0 I think. The following season he was on the bench v Wednesday and after leading 2-0 were pegged back to 2-2. Tudor came off the bench. I was stood on the Kop next to a Wednesday fan I knew,(no segregation then), and I turned to him and said 'You've had it now, Tudor's coming on.' Within minutes he netted the winner. Happy days.

Hat trick was v Bury at home in February 1969, the goals are on Youtube

Just a couple of repeats of the first line,which no longer gets sung,it now starts with 'Glory Glory Sheff United' ..there was also Derek Dooley's wooden leg is floating down the Don,and the other one was if you want to beat United.
