We hate Nottingham Forest We hate Cockneys Too We hate Mancs and Scousers But City we Love you. Most clubs fans sang this but with different teams to hate exempt for some reason it was nearly always forest that started the first line lord knows why as this was before they had their success under Cloughie I think the first line was always Nottingham Forest because nothing else quite worked, it had exactly the right number of syllables and it just sync'ed perfectly somehow. There was a lot more 'hate' in our songs those days wasn't there? I think it had something to do with the fact that just about everyone singing them was male and aged between about 13 and 35. These days it is more what you might consider community singing. It's all very jolly, should come with lashings of ginger beer

Think the last line is: cos we are the boothen boot boys That sounds about right. Or maybe "boothen aggro" like the other version? My memory is shot these days...

For about 15 years we used to sing: "You're gonna get your f*cking heads kicked in" after every opposition goal and there were many! I must admit it seems strangely dated when you look at it in its raw form like that And "You're going home in a fucking ambulance" Or "You're goin' home in a Staffycher ambulance". "You'll never reach the station" rings a bell as well! "Who are the people. We are the people" from those days still gets the odd run out nowadays. I say "from those days", - I expect the Saxon huscarls in King Harold's shieldwall on Senlac Hill were giving William the Bastard's Normans a rendition of something very similar back in 1066!

I was walking 'long the Boothen swinging my chain Along came a copper and he asked me my name. So I kicked him the bollocks and I kicked him in the 'ead. Now that copper is dead! You soon stopped singing this song if a copper actually looked at you! It's a long way to Stokie station, it's a long way to run! Who are the people? (We are the people!) Who are the shit? (They are the shit!) Give us a C (c, c) Give us an I (i, i) Give us a T (T, T) Give us a Y (Y, Y) And what have you got? We got the best team in the world.... Happy days!

Not an old song or even a football song at all but there were a group of lads on the tram in Cologne singing the Hyde Park Tiles song from Signal radio, liked it

Harry Roberts is our friend
K serrar serrar whatever we'll be we'll be were going to Wembley, loved this song in the early 70s surprising it didn't get much airing in 2011
We're the right side boothen end, or centre or left side.
If your all going (where ever the next away was) clap your hands, always got me buzzing when there was loads clapping knowing we were going take a big mob/following away.

"...Where's your father? where's your father? Where's your father, referee? You aven't got one! you aven't got one! You're a bastard, referee..."
One of my Boothen faves. Voltaire-esq prose, with just the right balance of iambic pentameter. A literary triumph that should be brought back
