songs we used to sing

[Scratchins]

Nigel Spink, rolls the ball to Platty,
Flicks it on to Paul McGrath then on to Tony Daley.
Tony Daley down the wing like a torpedo
Puts the ball in the air for Tony Cascarino

I hear this one regularly at away games.

[AlexAlexCropley]

Nigel Spink, rolls the ball to Platty,
Flicks it on to Paul McGrath then on to Tony Daley.
Tony Daley down the wing like a torpedo
Puts the ball in the air for Tony Cascarino

.....who then failed to connect cleanly and missed

[wittonwarrior]

The song mentioned in brassneck’s book “it’s so easy it’s so easy to win the uefa cup”. 1977-78

[wittonwarrior]

In the escort from the station at aways come to Birmingham and our will see ansells brewery and m&b   We don’t drink whisky and we don’t drink rum we are the boot boys from brum

[Archbishop Herbert Cockthrottle]

Nigel Spink, rolls the ball to Platty,
Flicks it on to Paul McGrath then on to Tony Daley.
Tony Daley down the wing like a torpedo
Puts the ball in the air for Tony Cascarino

The extended note on 'air' was magic when we held on to it.

[Dave P]

In the escort from the station at aways come to Birmingham and our will see ansells brewery and m&b   We don’t drink whisky and we don’t drink rum we are the boot boys from brum

Was it boot boy or beer boys? Sure I've heard both but boot boys seems to be more popular.

[Behind Bluenose Lines]

One from the 90's?

"There's a circus in the town
Terry Cooper is a clown
Karren Brady is a f****** sl*g
And the Blues are going down!"

[sid1964]

When a woman used to walk past the Holte End, usually selling programmes  - "get your tits out for the lads" was the usual song!

[West Derby Villan]

Boot boys, Dave

we'll sing a song ov victory when villa win division three
the city fans will never mock when they remember bruce rioch
we'll sing a song ov victory when villa win division three
the city fans will never forget that twenty five yarder in the net  !!!!!!

I was a Co author of that song

Did you do any others?

Also, anyone know if Away in a manger was ever done?

I thought it was "City fans will never mock when they remember Bruce Rioch"

[Damo70]

One from the 90's?

"There's a circus in the town
Terry Cooper is a clown
Karren Brady is a f****** sl*g
And the Blues are going down!"

That is just a rejig of the eighties version.

There's a circus in the town, in the town
Ronnie Saunders is a clown, is a clown
Noel Blake is a f*cking thief
And Birmingham are going down, going down

[Damo70]

Nigel Spink, rolls the ball to Platty,
Flicks it on to Paul McGrath then on to Tony Daley.
Tony Daley down the wing like a torpedo
Puts the ball in the air for Tony Cascarino

The extended note on 'air' was magic when we held on to it.

To the best of my knowledge that started on a ferry over to France on the way to Milan in 1990. That is the first time I remember hearing it. Maybe Mr Woodhall can confirm or contradict that is he was on the same coach as us.

[martin o`who??]

“They say that Saint Andrews is a wonderful place
I’ve been there myself it’s a fuckin disgrace
They say there are showers it just isn’t true
It’s a hole in the roof where the rain pisses through
Singing we hate the we hate the city
Singing we hate the we hate the Blues
Singing we hate the we hate the city
And we love it when them bastards lose”

Timeless classic......

That one is for you John - sleep tight mate.
