Memories of Blades chants from the past

[The Who Blade]

Littlejohn, Littlejohn running down the wing.
Littlejohn, Littlejohn fastest little thing.
Face black as coal, he'll score a goal
Littlejohn, Littlejohn, Littlejohn

Not a chant that would catch on these days!

 

[brownie4583]

Oh Tony Tony....Tony Tony Tony Kenworthy

Stan Stan Stan the man!

Hodgy Hodgy ,Hodgy Hodgy Hodgy

 

[bartman]

We'll take more care of you.
Porterfield,Porterfield

Is this the first team we've had where not a single player has his own chant? I suppose the ones who get their own chant are either quality players, cult heroes or both. We don't have either at the moment.

 

[Swanseablade]

I love to go a'wandering along the cliffs of Dover and then I saw a Wednesday fan & pushed the bastard over.......

And vs NFFC or NCFC

"Scab scab scab scab scab scab"

It even raised its head during the first match of this season which made me laugh.....

 

[Crosstownrebel]

He's black, he's mean and he raids fruit machines and his name is Nathan Blake.

 

[sitwell]

Youll never catch Chris Guthrie .

 

[super_pig]

Youll never catch Chris Guthrie .

you'll never 'see' chris guthrie would have been more appropriate

When the ball hits the goal, it's not Shearer or Cole, it's Asaba.

I'm a rambler, I'm a rambler, I'm a long way from home, I'll follow United from Sheffield to Rome, I'll eat when I'm hungry, I'll drink when I'm dry, I'm a rambler, I'm a rambler, I'm a Blade til I die.

 

[TC10]

When the ball hits the goal, it's not Shearer or Cole, it's Asaba.

Second verse
As he runs down the wing with his big ding a ling, it's Asaba.

Third verse- after he had 'settled in'
If you're sat in row Z and you're hit on the head, it's Asaba

 

[Racy]

To the tune of Bonanza

Bobby Campbell hit the post it should have been a goal oh da da da da da da da da da

 

[Cheets]

"Over there, Over there,
How do they smell?
(Clap, clap, clap, clap)
Like fucking hell"

A profound song with Dylanesque lyrics.

 

[Hodgyman]

"Over there, Over there,
How do they smell?
(Clap, clap, clap, clap)
Like fucking hell"

A profound song with Dylanesque lyrics.

I think that one started:-

I hear the drums
of distant bums

To the tune of Jim Reeves' "Distant drums"

 

[Angef1Blade]

Have you forgotten ...

Aye, aye, aye, aye
Hodgy is better than Yashin
Mick Jones is better than Eusebio
And Wednesday are in for a thrashin

We always sang 'John Tudor' is better than Eusebio....

 

[Pittsburg Blade]

During our 3-2 win over Forest (Basset's famous first win in 16 games), I remember the crowd chanting "Pierce lost us the World Cup" and seeing the look of pain that flashed across poor old Stuart's face....his WC SF missed pen must still weigh heavily.

 

[brownie4583]

John McPhail John McPhail John McPhail x 50......whilst jumping up and down!

 

[Darren]

I think that one started:-

I hear the drums
of distant bums

To the tune of Jim Reeves' "Distant drums"

Or if we were playing Man City:

"And does it smell
Like Colin Bell..."

 

[Ted Danson]

Lloyd-Owusu, Chrisy Turner bibbley bobbly boo,
put them together and what have you got.
stuck in division 2

I always liked that one, and of course

Santos!,
Santos!,
Santos!,
Santos!,
Santos!,
Santos!,

 

[GRENO]

first heard this one at Ipswich in the FA cup, around 74/75 lost 3-2.
Currie scored a cracker in a thoroughly entertaining game.

His eyes they shone like diamonds
they call him the king of the land
and there stood Tony Currie
stood there with the cup in his hands.

If only?

 

[BornOnShorehamStreet]

We always sang 'John Tudor' is better than Eusebio....

Well it is adaptable and Mick Jones was of an earlier era of course.

OK so altogether now -

Chris Porter is better than Eusebio!

 

[super_pig]

[georgebernardshaw]

Wendy fans at Millwall

"We're gonna get our fucking heads kicked in"

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

Not heard 'I would rather be a packie than a pig' for a while.

 

[CardiffBlades]

Third line.....

[Wapping Blade]

I thought it was "with Eric Potts and Roger Wylde too"

 

[Grecian2000]

Bertie Me said to Bill Shankly
Have you heard of the North Bank Highbury
He said No, I don't think so
But I've heard of the Shoreham Agro.

We've got Alan Alan Alan Alan Woodward, on the wing, on the wing
Alan Alan Woodward Alan Woodward on the wing
repeat

Nah Nah, Na Na Na Na nah. Na na na na nah, Na na na na na nah Reece! (give or take a nah or two)

As for post #50. Sorry BOSS but Eusebio, in his late 70's, is still better than Porter!

 

[bartman]

John McPhail John McPhail John McPhail x 50......whilst jumping up and down!

Remember that well at Millmoor when we lost two one. Someone else scored for us and we were still singing that. Great fun thou

 

[Cheets]

Seems weird now but in the '80s we regularly used to sing 'Marching On Together' (with 'Blades, Blades, Blades!' for the last line instead of 'L**ds, L**ds, L**ds') and 'You'll Never Walk Alone' (the second time accompanied by clapping). Other songs we used to sing include 'You are my sunshine' (usually a celebratory song after a second half goal) and 'If you're gonna (next away game) clap your hands'.
Other songs have evolved such as "We love United, oh yes we do' (What happened to the 'Oh yes'?) and the 'Na na na....OOH! OOH' of the Chip Butty song used to be far more pronounced whereas now it just sort of fizzles out.

 

[Racy]

We use to walk to the ground from the Norfolk Park late sixties early seventies getting in about one o'clock waiting for the opening chant from the Kop Leader think he was nicknamed Eskimo

Ziga Zaga Ziga Zaga United!

 

[alcoblade]

Ken McNaught, Ken McNaught,
The best payer the Blades ever bought,
He can score with his head,
He can score with his foot,
He's so good he can score with his nuts!
