Terrace chants from the 80s

[russon]

Damo,the song actually went,Nigel Spinks throws the ball to Platty,flicks it up to Paul Mcgrath who passes it to Daley,Tony Daley down the wing like a torpedo,kicks the ball in the aiiiiir,for Tony Cascarino

sorry but I'm with Damo on this one except I thought it was 'rolls' the ball to Platty

I started a "Tony, Cascarino, Cascarino is a mare" after another of his inept showings but no-one joined in

This isn't anything to be proud of,but I remember Fashanu being interviewed in his Wimbledon days,saying that the Holte sang to him,'Where's your mama gone' to the tune of the 60s song,in reference to his childhood upbringing.

[PeterWithesShin]

Attack, attack, attack attack attack.

And then some wag would invariably say, a nail.

I seem to remember us reminding him his brother wasn't likely to make him an uncle any time soon too. But in more to the point and homophobic terms. Time to also mention the 'Tina,Tina' chant to Peter Shilton that was hugely popular when it was topical and seemed to return in later years in a retro kind of way.

This was in the 70's Hi ho hi ho it's up the holte we go
                                 With a bottle and a brick
                                  and a walking stick
                                  Hi ho hi ho hi ho hi ho
Oh God, I'm a grandfather don't let the kids see this!

[Rudy Can't Fail]

He shot, he cum, all over Gidman's bum, Andy Gray, Andy Gray.

As for the dog on the pitch, it was "Francis is back".

I remember ITV trying to get the Holte to sing some bollocks for Central. Was never going to happen.

"We'll see you all outside, we'll see you all outside, we'll see you all, we'll see you all outside."

And five minutes before full time, "It's time for you to run, it's time for you to run, it's time for you to run."

[The Left Side]

Wasn't it oscar the newshound and John Shaw?!?

[pooligan]

My favourite chant was mr bertie mee said to bill shankley have you heard of the north bank highbury .shanks said no i dont think so but ive heard of the holte end agro.

[E I Adio]

I know it's not the 80's but there was an amusing chant in the 60's that we used if Johnny McLeod was fouled. He was a short stocky winger we bought from Arsenal, who was well capable of looking after himself. Nevertheless, we would chant "Hey. You. Getoffa McLeod."

If that's not clear, the Rolling Stones were pretty popular around that time.

[Andy_Lochhead_in_the_air]

Instead of "Your going home in an effin ambulance".
Your going home like Sandy Richardson.


Took out the swearing, but in much poorer taste.

I was talking to a mate of mine about the Sandy Richardson chant a few years back. He was under the impression Sandy was an old Villa player who'd had his career finished by injury!

[DeKuip]

I will go back further.

Whose that knocking on the window ?
Whose that knocking on the door ?
Its Freddie Goodwin and his mob selling Vincent for a bob.
And they wont beat the Villa any more.

..for en even earlier version replace the "It's Freddie...." line with:-
"There'll be Cullis and his mob selling Greenhoff for a bob"

Oh shit, I'be just realised why my older brother and his mates laughed at me all those years ago.. I used to sing "Cullis and his MOM selling Greenhoff for a bob". That and "Hateley is a regent!"

Extremely non PC and of it's time, and clearly demonstrating how we have progressed as a society since then:

Hi Ho Hi Ho
Hockey is a Mo
Hi Ho Hi Ho
Hockey is a Mo
And he will follow Pickering
Wherever he may go
Trevor Hockey the homo

I believe the original version used Stan Cullis in place of Trevor Hockey.

[Big Dick Edwards]

To Watford fans during their brief period in the big time:
Elton John is a homosexual..
