I remember going to Liverpool away in the 70’s when there was a sugar shortage due to a strike.
We had a good following in the Anfield Road end and we all started singing ‘You’re going to get your mother’s sugar nicked’
For some strange reason I can’t recall hearing it recently!

That Conroy chant is a classic. That's the one I always seem to sing when I've had a few to drink. Tune? Younger Stokie asking! Terry, Terry Conroy, Terry Conroy on the wing. The name of the original song escapes me.

Gin gangully was the song, a nonsense song invented by Baden Powell and sung at scout and guide camps.
The Terry Conroy part was the chorus .....’hey la, hey la shayla “
I’m really showing my age now !!!

When we were rooted to the bottom of Division One in the 84/85 season, Stoke fans would sing The Football League is upside down hallelujah (to the tune of Michael row the boat ashore).
Newcastle fans used to sing. Phillipe Phillipe Albert everyone knows his name (to the Rupert the Bear theme tune).

The Johnny Rudge birth certificate one in the early 90s always raised a smile.
There's a circus in the Town aimed Baz Fry and Karron Brady at Brum was another good one
Non Stoke, I quite liked Everton's Arteta ditty from a few years ago. Brum's Keep right on is also imressive

Remember in a pub in Nottingham in the 90s, Anton got one going to the tune of Rotterdam by the Beautiful South
The chorus went something like 'we'll go to Anfield or Goodson, Chelsea in the smoke, Millwall or Birmingham but they won't come to Stoke..........they'll never come to Stoke,!'
Sounded pretty good when the whole pub were singing it

Being a young scamp growing up in the 70's, I used to enjoy hearing the Boothen sing.... "you're gonna get your f****n heads kicked in!!!" Still sing that in the South stand Sing something simple, you simple twats Where's your father referee is another good one. Paddock, paddock sort 'em out! 87

Also ‘We’re City, we’re barmy, we’re off our fucking heads’ That old Boothen End, where we didn’t watch the game, we lived it! BM

To the tune of the Tiny Tim song in the 70's
Tip toe, through The Boothen With ya boots on Get ya head kicked in
'Home, home on the range' was another Boothe End favourite back then... even with it's none PC reference to The Antelope up Hanley.

I was a fan of a couple of songs that were sung at Crewe away one year after a few creme de menthes:
To the tune of the Adams family -
"Your father is your mother Your sister is your brother You like to shag each other The Alex family"
To the tune of "Monster" by Automatic
"Who's that getting out of your bed Is it your sister?! Is it your sister?!"
It livened up another typical defeat!!!

"Who's your Father" Sang to the Referee "Your gonna get what Aston Villa got"
Anyone recall an away game at Bolton (Burnden Park) in the 70's when we were held back after the game in the open away end and the Bolton fans were lobbing bricks at us. A guy with long blonde hair was lifted onto his mates shoulders. We sang "Jesus is a Stokie" to him. He got us all singing "Isn't it nice to sing and to fight, When City are in your division" (To the tune of messing about on the river)

That would be “ the battle of Burden “ as the media reported the next day. Remember a stoke fan lobbing an empty oil drum over the wall into the Bolton fans who were right next to us.

That is right....120 needed hospital treatment.Probably the most serious casualties Ive seen at a Stoke game .I moved and stood under the floodlight and still got hit by a ricochet .Fortunate it hit me in the chest not the head. Thats what happens when you demolish a wall and leave a pile of rubble either side of the dividing fence...The Oil Drum is a mystery, someone must have brought it concealed in their clothing. On the subject of the thread though, as all this was going on everyone was still singing, watching the game and rioting at the same time- completely surreal- main story on the national news on the way home

On the subject of strange football songs and even stranger people
I have been to the Blues many many times over a fifty year period and they had a firm in the 1970s of blokes known as the Sauce Force and they stood at the back of the Kop on the side of the pitch. Their leader was a guy known simply as "Drink till I die" which was a motto they all took very seriously, most of them now having passed away. Their specialty was to sing " Give us a B!" "Baaaaah" "give us an I " Errrrgh" and so on until a series of farm yard noises apparently made up the word "Birmingham" One of the Sauce Force once got a ladder in to lead the singing
I also saw a few Queen of the South games when I was Living in Scotland and was taken by the simply ditty" We drink beer we drink wine we`re the Scottish border line" rolled out by the 200 die hards who did the away games

Remember a stoke fan lobbing an empty oil drum over the wall into the Bolton fans who were right next to us. the day the moat which went around burden Park was littered with casualties from both sides... Stoke ended up on the old train tracks behind the away end and all kind of missiles were raining down in the Bolton end.. Don't think I watched much of that match.. At the end that's when isn't nice to sing and to fight when city are in your division

Tilbury at home late 70s. Tilbury manager comes on to the pitch before the game to take the applause of the travelling Tilbury fans, with the Boothen singing to him, WHO THE FUCKING HELL ARE YOU!🤣

He's only a poor little Robin* His face is all battered and torn He made me feel sick So I hit him with a brick And now he don't sing anymore
* Obviously Robin can be replaced with any relevent 2 syllable word. For some reason I always associate it with Robin - presumably we were playing Bristol City when I first heard it
