[bones.]

Can't remember the words exactly, maybe someone could post the full version.

It's the one that started with "Nigel Spink, throws (or rolls) the ball to.........." and ends with "Tony Daley down the wing like a torpedo puts the ball in the aaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiiirrrrrr for Tony Cascarino".

air.........

Nigel Spink rolls the ball to Platty,
knocks it on to Paul McGrath and out to Tony Daley,
Tony Daley down the wing like a torpedo,
puts the ball in the aiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiirrrrr,
for Tony Cascarino.
Came about on the trip to Milan I think.

also remember  Spinksy,and  Birchy, Alan Mcinally, being changed to
Spinksy and Birchy, Tony Tony Daley.
when Rambo left us for Germany.           

can someone help me with the tunes for 'oooooooooh Francis' and  'One day as I walked up the steps of the Holte End' please........also is the full version of holte enders in the sky sung to the full version of Ghost riders?

OOOOH Francis is to the tune of Mammy by Al Jolson, One day as I walked up the steps of the Holte End tune is called Streets of lareda, and HOITS - yes.

Thanks, just listened to the tunes courtesy of youtube, and they all fit perfectly. Stuck nicely in my head now. Next question- anyone got a tardis? or failing that, two fullbacks, a centre half and a new midfield?

[tricky59]

Does anybody remember the bizarre one from the 70's that went
CLAP, CLAP, clapclapclapclap and then the crowd would go 'OHH!'

Yes I do Fletch. No idea where it came from though.

Spurs still sing it today, ending up with "Yids" rather than the "OoH"

If I'm thinking of the same song, then it's 'Let's Go' by The Routers from the '60's.

My recollection is it became popular during the '66 World Cup.  Things do get hazy though.

[Broughty-Villian]

Heee's only a poor little Scouser
Got shot up the arse...


after that i cant remember as i was 8 or 9 when this was popular. I also think there was other lyrics to.

[adrenachrome]

Tip Toe through the Tilton
With a feather and a water pistol
Tip Toe through the Tilton with me

It was a razor and a sworn off shotgun, Andy Lohchead, as well you know.

[Zakk Fatt]

From our eightees European Cup days:

We all follow the Villa,
Over Land and sea (AND WATER)
We all follow the Villa......on....to....Vict-or-ry

La-La-La

We all follow the Villa ....repeat til fade.

or the other eightees classic,


Oh I do like to walk along the seaside, oh I do like to walk along the sea,
Oh I do like to walk along the Prom, Prom, Prom:
Where the brass bands play FUCK OFF WEST BROM and BIRMINGHAM!
FUCK OFF WEST BROM AND BIRMINGHAM!
AND BIRMINGHAM, AND BIRMINGHAM, AND BIRMINGHAM!

Or I could give:

If your all going to Rotterdam clap your hands,
If your all going to Rotterdam clap your hands,
If your all going to Rotterdam, All going to Rotterdam,
All going to Rotterdam, clap your hands.

Or the classic:

'Who's the wankers in the seats'
'Who's the wankers, who's the wankers, who's the wankers in the seats!'

Times have changed, guess they made us all the wankers in the seats now eh?

[D.boy]

I recall during the early 80's at the back of the Holte End opposition scarfs would be tied up to the roof beams and set alight and as they burnt the crowd would be singing "Burn burn burn the bastard, burn burn burn the bastard" to the tune of What shall we do with a drunken sailor.

Knees up mother brown was another favourite

The Left Side ....... The Right Side

[Godfrey Brian]

Hello, hello, how do you do?
We are the boys in claret and blue.
We love to sing, we love to fight.
We hate the boys in blue and white.
Sing a song of victory.
We will win Division three.
And City fans will never mock.
When they remember Bruce Rioch!

And....

"We've got Baldy, cock-eyed Andy in the air ,in the air. Andy, Andy Lochhead in the air...."

And

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

[Rudy Can't Fail]

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

And on 85 minutes: "It's time for you to run".

[adrenachrome]

I was born under the Holte End Stand
I was born under the Holte End Stand
Boots were meant for kicking
And that's just what they'll do
When we get up the Tilton Road
We'll kick fuck out of you

[Godfrey Brian]

"Tiswas" ......"Swapshop!"

"Left side"...."Right-side"!

"Rangers" ...."Celtic"!

"The fence must go!" (The night they put the first dividing fence the length of the Holte. And go it did- the top 40 feet was rocked out of it's foundations!)


"Willie...Willie......Willie....Willie ..Anderson!"


"Can you hear us on the box?" (When MOTD were present)

[Witton Warrior]

I recall during the early 80's at the back of the Holte End opposition scarfs would be tied up to the roof beams and set alight and as they burnt the crowd would be singing "Burn burn burn the bastard, burn burn burn the bastard" to the tune of What shall we do with a drunken sailor.

I remember away at Bristol City "What shall we do with Norman Hunter, burn burn burn the bastsrd..."

Anyone mentioned "My Father said son you be a Villa fan and that's the way to stay-ee, Happy to be a Villa fan until your dying day..." to the tune of Batchelor Boy

and

"I was born under the Holte End stand..." to tune of Wandering Star - can't remember the rest

Edit: Just seen AChrome put it up! Crackin'
