Jack Charlton is dead

[Kozzy_is_my_Dad]

It's a simple alteration to the song and it's all thanks to Mark Duffy.

"Their bouncing is dead, and the pig fans have fled and the year is 1889..."

 

[Bob Socks]

The original song is a Glasgow Rangers sectarian song.

‘No, no Pope of Rome
No chapels to sadden my eyes
No nuns and no priests
No Rosary beads
Every day is the 12th of July’

The last line in the Blades version is,

‘Every year is 1889’ not fuckin AND the year is 1889.

As someone pointed out earlier in the thread, a utopian image of the future.

 

[ZoneManWilf]

The original song is

Home on the range.

He was a guy that I would have had a pint with despite his Leeds / Pigs associations. Down to earth, funny (he gave prizes out at our school and was quite witty) had a great football brain which he showed at the Republic. Sad to hear he has gone. RIP Giraffe.
