I remember it well; there was one about Malxolm MacDonald's horse as well (inspired by his bow legged gait).

To the Newcastle fans who were massed on the Witton in torrential, freezing sleet in the mid 70's:

We hope your foreskins shrink

[pooligan]

Another one i remember is Those were the days my friend we took the Stretford end,we took Kop and smashed the fucking lot. But now those days are through .we're in division 2 ,to the words of the Mary Hopkins song Those were the days.

[Dr Butler]

He's up. he's down, he's in The Rose and Crown......Barry Hole, Barry Hole.

I would need to check but I'm sure Barry Hole scored the first Villa goal I ever saw vs Cardiff around Christmas time(Boxing day ?) 1969.

And also:

He's shot
He's missed
He's always fucking pissed

[UsualSuspect]

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

I thought it was puts the ball in the air as well

[Damo70]

Not actually a terrace chant and not from the 80's but worth a mention - Crowd in Ireland greeting Nelson Mandela - "ooh aah Paul McGrath's Da"

[Charlie8182]

Does anyone else remember this? At home to Liverpool about a week before Christmas 1982. There used to be a segment on central news called Newshound with Bob Warman, some other bloke (John something I think) and a dog (pretty sure he was called Oscar). Big crowd versus Liverpool, shortly before kick off Bob,John(?) and Oscar come onto the pitch introduced by the announcer. They get the 'banter' you would expect from a terrace in the eighties. First they try to get the whole ground singing 'You'll never walk alone'. You'll never guess what - strangely The Holte aren't on board with that idea! So then they try for one big 'We wish you a merry christmas' which does actually get started but turns quickly turns into a medley (years before Jive Bunny), firstly support for The Villa and then our festive feelings for Liverpool FC and scousers in general. I made sure to watch on the Monday night and I seem to remember a very short piece about them going to Villa Park to sing carols, a few seconds showing them coming on the pitch waving and smiling and very little live sound from the day. I'm sure I've got some of the details wrong but please somebody confirm I didn't imagine all of that!

No you didnt image it, in fact the highlight is when Oscar had a crap in the goalmouth which had the Holte End in stitches! 
Then we lost 4-2 

[martin o`who??]

"Your gonna get your f****N heads kicked in", - quite apart from the gratuitous violence thing, this one inevitably meant we`d just conceded a goal.

[Witton Warrior]

"Win the League, win the League win the League...
 Win the League win the League win the the Leeeeeague...
 Win the League win the League win the League...
 Win the League . . . WIN!  THE!  LEAGUE!"

Can you guess the season that was sung?

;-)

[adrenachrome]

Remember when this was sung, in triumph?

Division Two
Welcomes you
Aston Villa

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Division Four
Will suit you more
Birmingham City

[Zhong Yi]

There was a team called City,
They come from Birmingham.
They got knocked out the FA Cup,
By Non-League Altrincham.
It was in the final minute,
The referee blew up.
And now those blue and white bastards
Are out the FA Cup
Oooh ah ha ha ha ha etc etc.

I once bought that matchday programme for 'souvinir' purposes, from the North Stand Programme Shop of all places!!!

best thing about that game wasn't it Hopkins who scored an own goal or something to hand Altrincham the win?

for me the chants ill always love were

Lets All Have A Disco
Lets Go Fucking Mental
Knees Up Mother Brown
(usually sung in that order)

'Old Macdonald Had A Farm' anytime the Old Bill were at the back of the Holte

Oh I Do Like To Be Beside The Seaside

Sit Down You Shits Sit Down

best ones from my memory tho and two i still rejoice at having sung were at an away game in 1991 at Man Shitty

He's Fat He's Shit
He's Never Fucking Fit
Peter Reid
Peter Reid

and the blinding:

Steve McMahon
What a Wanker
What a Wanker
(sung to Handel's 'Messiah')

it rang round Maine road - outstanding.

shame we lost 2-0 really.

[Witton Warrior]

More from the 3rd and 2nd Division days but still heard occasionally when we took over away grounds

Accompanied by pointing to the 4 quarters of the ground
"Villa 'ere, Villa there, Villa every fuckin'where, lalalalaaaalalalalaaaa..."
Interlopers around the ground respond
Mayhem ensues

"There's more of us than you, there's more of is than you, theres more of us then yoooooooooou"

"Chim chiminny chim chimminy chim chim charoo, we are the boot boys in claret and bloooooooo"
