Vintage Songs

[Pat McMahon]

When I was 10-12 we used to stand on the Witton End. The most spectacular version of YNWA I saw on the Holte was after a 5-0 thumping of Oldham in 1975 when we were on an unstoppable roll towards Division 1.

As somebody else commented above, we also sung it in Rotterdam (after the final whistle IIRC)

Not trawled the whole 14 pages so apologies if this one's been mentioned already.
When the red, red robin comes bob, bob bobbin' along
Shoot the bastard, shoot the bastard.

I remember singing this in the early seventies. Why or where it started I don't know.

I seem to recall that was the song played over the tannoy that Charlton ran out to on Easter Monday 1987 when they pretty much relegated us.

City rule
Do they f***
All they do is bum and suck

Remember a version that went "red and white Robin" being sung at Old Trafford, Bristol City, Stoke etc around '76/'77 then faded away

[The Laughing Policeman]

Sung on occasion during a lot of our dark seasons and should be revived............

Let's pretend
Let's pretend
Let's pretend we've scored a goal.

Followed by wild cheering, jumping about and hugging each other.
Last time I heard it was during McLeish's reign when the Brigada lads did it a couple of times.

The example during 0-3 at Anfield when the scousers were utterly bemused was terrific when it was done for the fourth time followed by "three nil and you f***ed it up!"

At spuds, last game last season...our self-deprecation was beyond belief...including our references to a very visible Jesus figure!
They just couldn't handle it...I was very close to their "fans" and they still did the wanky gesture and aggressive grimaces, while we smiled back at them and waved in a very friendly, "we're-all-mates-enjoying-a-football-match-aren't-we?" kinda way.
To observe thousands of totally bemused cockney wan*ers was a joy to behold!

UTV!

Don't know if this one has been mentioned.  An old Holte End regular of the 80s:

Villa score, Villa Score,
Once you get one you'll get more,
We'll sing your assembly,
When we get to Wembley,
So score, Villa score.

[BegbieAV]

You'll never take the Holte end, you'll never take the Holte end!!!

[Witton Warrior]

You'll never take the Holte end, you'll never take the Holte end!!!

Unless there's a sponsorship contract...

You'll never take the Holte end, you'll never take the Holte end!!!

Unless there's a sponsorship contract...

Or loads of Rangers fans.

True, but  try it if the Holte end had imagined that an assault was planned or that more than a few hundred had been in place.

Ian St John was sat behind me at Rotterdam in DD section.I remember thinking he was was really grey haired, he looked like an advert for just for men on "On the Ball"

Bertie Mee says to Bill Shankly,
