Favourite villa song / chant

[The Edge]

"Bertie Mee said to Bill Shankly
'Have you heard of the North Bank Highbury?'
Bill says 'No I don't think so,
But I've heard of the Villa Holte End'"

One for the oldies... so, that'll be most of you then!

Ahem. "But I've heard of the Villa aggro"

[bilsim]

"Luke Mooore
Luke Mooore
And he's got an older brother
And his name is Stefan Moore"

Still makes me smile after all these years

[West Derby Villan]

Is the correct answer, as it rhymes

It was done both ways, IIRC.

Could be my memory playing tricks. But I can only recall "but I've heard of the Villa aggro" and it rhymes?

Got to be the whole Holte singing:
Villa
Villlaah
Villaaaahhh

Slowly and loud.  We don’t seem to do it quite the same nowadays.

The Bells are ringing  - was mostly an away song.  Fab.

Oh I do like to be by the Seaside.  Classic.

And yes Purpletrousers:

I have to say
“We’re all part of Barton’s army
We’re all going to Rotterdam
And we’ll really shake ‘em up
When we win the Euro cup
‘cos Villa are the greatest Football Team”


And in Rotterdam:

We love you linesman we do!

Garden Shed is always a good one.

He must be rather drunk*,

Barrie Hole! Barrie Hole!

* I may have misheard this...

We have had some strange ones also in years gone by,
Late 60,s anyone remember " goodbye horse, goodbye horse, he was saying goodbye to his horse, and as he was saying goodbye to his horse he was saying goodbye to his horse"
God knows what that was about
Also remember some sort of version to Peado Rolf,s  two little boys

I remember the horse chant sure enough as I used it all the time.  Can't recall the Two Little Boys one though.

Yeah I remember that one. The big boys at the back of the Holte used to sing it and I have never understood why or what the feck it was about.

. Yes, like the others I remember the 'horse' song and also haven't got a clue what it was all about.
"Bring out Arsenal, Man United
Bring on the Spaniards by the score
Barcelona, Real Madrid they will make a gallant bid
But they won't beat the Villa any more... ore... ore
They won't beat the Villa any more"

I remember that first line as ‘Bring on Spurs and Man United.’

. Yep, or "Leeds and.....". It was a movable feast!
