[Sky Blue Harry H]

I don't remember that, but I do remember Rangers/ Celtic for the same reasons as you mention for your chant.

It used to be sung, often immediately after the Celtic/Rangers rendition.

[Milne Out]

Minority chant, around ‘84 ,
back of the Sky Blue Stand,
away, and certain pubs in the town

“Knock Knock …. Who’s there ,
Lena… Lena who ?”

Anyone remember to finish the lyrics !?

I remember it being sung at Anfield when we got done 5-0. I won't finish the lyrics but if it was sung these days people would be getting lifetime bans.

Yes, sounds right. I think Rush scored 4! It's funny the things you remember from so long ago but I associate that song you mentioned with that particular game. It must have been a pretty uncomfortable time for women to go to games in those days as football crowds were extremely sexist, with any woman attending likely to face the 'get yer tits out for the lads' chants, which would be unthinkable now. With my daughter being a big City fan I'm glad they've gone too!

There was another dodgy song I remember from that Liverpool match 'I am the music man I come from down your way, what can you play', which also led to a line about Michael Jacksons hair being on fire. I think the route of these random songs was connected to the old gallows humour of being determined to have a good time despite watching our team taking a spanking.

Coventry *clap clap clap*, Coventry *clap clap clap*

Hear it in 70s videos but never heard it ever at a game

I remember Coventry la la la
Coventry la la la
to the tune of the Banana Splits

 

[Calista]

This sophisticated golden oldie just popped into my head for no good reason

Oh we'll fight fight fight for Coventry 'til we win the Football League

 

[curly_tom]

The classic, "Kill! Kill! Jimmy Hill!" during one of his less popular phases. Around the time of the Washington Diplomats debacle.

I’m too young to understand what any of that means, intriguing though

 

[curly_tom]

He’s only a poor little brummie… (something about a brick and not singing any more) I was young and it was about the Villa. Can’t remember exactly.

He made me feel sick, so I hit him with a brick…

I used to enjoy the mass whistling of the Laurel and Hardy theme tune as the old bill walked in front of the West End.

Also, whatever happened to the second verse of 'In our Coventry homes'?

i.e.
you look in the dustbin for something to eat,
you find a dead dog and you think its a treat
in your (insert away town/city) homes

I remember it as
‘You wander the streets wanting something to eat, you find a dead dog and you think it’s a treat’

 

[curly_tom]

I think it was quite short lived, But I used to enjoy "Physio, Physio" surprisingly enough whenever the physio entered the field of play.

Yes, also ‘Georgie Dalton’s Sky Blue Army’ in the 90s

 

[koelarc]

He's so fast it's unbelievable
John Williams

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Am I making it up or did we do an Addams Family chant when Micky Adams was manager?

The leicester family

Between 2015 - 2017 Tony Mowbray to League 1 relegation season Three Little Birds was a regular. I used to like that but just seemed to stop by the time the League 2 campaign started.

Yeah love a bit of Bob Marley.

 

[blunted]

Every club used to sing the Liverpool anthem You'll Never Walk Alone. Oggi, Oggi, Oggi and Molly Malone. Also Who's that copper with the helmet on, Sing when you're winning, These boots are made for walking, Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay, Glaziers better than Yashin etc. At corners, In the net. The opposition, Over the bar. Tiptoe through the West End get your boots on, get your head kicked in. And those David Beckham classics Six foot two, eyes of blue, big Jim Holton's after you.

 

[Peter Billing Eyes]

The West Terrace in the early 90’s - “Oh, Mark Bosnich, he plays for Aston Villa and he stinks of piss”…

 

[JAM See]

Can't be arsed going back through the whole thread. Has...

"City score, City score
If you get one you'll get four
Come on score, City score
If you get one you'll get four"
(Rinse and repeat)

...been mentioned?

Bizarrely, my strongest memory is also against Liverpool, but it was the Gibbo hat trick game at HR.

 

[BackRoomRummermill]

Nellie the elephant

 

[Colin Steins Smile]

In the 70’s when Stan Bowles was playing against us .
“Stanley, Stanley, where’s your wife”.
There had been some revelation in the newspapers

 

[mmttww]

One I don't hear anywhere near enough now, using Forest as an example to make it make sense...

"Small town in Derby!
You're just a small town in Derby!

There was one about Peter Shilton when he was caught shaggin in his car.

 

[Sbarcher]

Aye aye aye aye
Bill Glazier is better than Yashin
xxxx is better than Eusebio
And xxx are in for a thrashing

Can’t remember the xxxs!

 

[steveo1987]

You’re gonna get your fu..in head kicked in

 

[SkyBlueCharlie9]

Save all your bottles for me, bye bye Lesta/Villa bye bye.

Some Liverpool fans prevented Coventry City playing in the European Cup Winners Cup.
From memory the first side back in Europe after the ban on English football clubs was of course Liverpool.

That was always my favourite! It was always Leicester in the 80s, so all the more fitting that the original song was about paedophilia!!!

 

[OffenhamSkyBlue]

You’re gonna get your fu..in head kicked in

Along with such ditties as "You'll never take the West End" and "You're going home in a fu..in ambulance"

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Let him die as an injured player is treated

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

We had a wheelbarrow but the wheel fell off repeat

That's still makes my blood boil, the good old scousers, not.

The West Terrace in the early 90’s - “Oh, Mark Bosnich, he plays for Aston Villa and he stinks of piss”…

Yeah, goalies used to get some stick in the West End.

"One fatty Rimmer, there's only one Fatty Rimmer". He took it well enough tbf!

 

[ovduk78]

I remember in the late 90s we used to sing this to opposing goalkeepers, I have used Mark Crossley as an example.

Crossley is his name
Crossley is his name
He stinks of piss, he's got no friends
Crossley is his name

 

[Macca1987]

I remember going to Colchesters old ground in the 00's, we were right up against the pitch, we went 1-0 down and then won 5-1, for the whole of the second half (it felt like) we sang that song to Dean Gerken, I'm sure he wanted to crawl off the pitch and die as each goal went in
