Nicked our songs

[HarryHaslam]

I may be wrong but I seem to recall “You’ll never walk alone” was sang by loads of clubs every so often til early 90s….before Liverpool commodified it.

Also I wonder when and why people stopped singing

A) the score line to “amazing grace”

B) “here we go, here we go, here we go”

Yes plenty of teams sung it and I’m sure we also did. All were copying Liverpool who in turn had nicked it off Man Utd in the first place.

I remember our fans singing YNWA when I first started going - early 1970s

It only really became associated with Liverpool because Gerry Marsden was a scouser and Liverpool fan. But back in the day it was a fairly generic terrace song.

True, the Mancs had been singing it for a number of years though before Gerry sang it.

Knew it was broadway but just googled and your right. Also I didn’t realise they had originally started signing it to the busby babes after the Munich disaster, just read now.

I can also remember us singing Marching on together. My mate who I used to go to the games with swears blind we never but he does hate Leeds more me so just won’t have it. We sung it loads.

I watched Fleetwood v Accrington Stanley on the box on Monday and the Stanley fans were singing the GCB. This is how it goes apparently…

You light up my senses,
Like a gallon of Magnet,
Like a packet of Woodbines,
Like a good pinch of snuff,
Like a night out in Accy,
Like a greasy chip butty,
Oh Accrington Stanley,
Come thrill me again...

All their own words.

Yes, I also sing Oh Sheffield United when we sing GCB…because it makes more sense, as we are singing it to our beloved team.

What’s the origins of ‘If I had the wings of a sparrow….’? Derby fans singing it at Luton tonight

 

[Yoonited]

1. We actually nicked their songs.
2. The visible universe is actually a facade, and reality as we think we know it is a mere wisp of imagination within the dream of a floating terrapin.

"Dream of a floating Terrapin" Sounds like a great prog rock concept album.
Loving your imagination mate

I really really don't believe you don't. Plus he'll be so upset if he reads that.

Yes I vaguely remember this too, but did we sing it independently or just hijack their version when we played them, by just shouting Blades Blades Blades at the end of it.

How about "make love to your partner and enjoy a glass of wine" ?
Much more PC.

 

[Loco Blade]

The Jack Robinson chant got sung in response to them singing "Champions again Ole Ole" ?
Thought it started as more tongue in cheek but stuck

True . Good job we nicked it then . They won’t be singing it for a while I guess

I'm a reyt woke bastard, been singing that before it's cool.

(potentially toxic with total score 60% because I used the W-word )

Yep, song kicks in at 50s.

We sang it regularly throughout the 80s, not just when we played Leeds. I didn't even realise it was a Leeds song at first.
