He's still there I saw him last home matchdoots said:South stand programme seller a while back who looked like Frank from Shameless.
"There's only one Franky Gallagher...............and so on"
Not seen him for a bit but I think he took it well.
Ha ha remember shouting out oooh Chase me Chase me (Duncan Norvelle) which got a laugh.Astley Lad said:Not really a chant but bloody funny at the time. When we thrashed Bolton
6 - 2 (2003 I think) Allardyce had got a Brazilian on loan. Mario Jardel, he'd been a "wonderkid" as a teenager but then found alcohol and it was rumoured recreational drugs. He was brought on as a substitute in the second half and "minced" onto the field in a pair of 1980's very tight and very short shorts. Everytime he minced towards the ball the crowd started "oooooooh" and wringing their hands. He eventually realised it was him we were taking the piss out of and so did the rest of the Bolton lads who clearly thought it was hilarious.

She's here, she's there,
she's everyf**kinwhere,
Thomas's wife, Thomas's wife!
Needless to say poor old Mickey had a mare and City pissed it 4-0.

"He would have scored that,
he would have scored that,
Robin Van Persie,
he would have scored that."

We had a big following too. It was the middle of winter, probably the season we fell to division two. It had been in the news that week that chairman franny lee, even though the fans wanted him out, had gone on a long holiday to Barbados.
So we sang 'I'd rather be in Barnsley than Barbados ' into the freezing night.
piffy on a rock bun said:Going back a long time but I remember city fans singing
who`s up mary brown,
Who`s up mary brown,
Tommy tommy docherty,
Tommy tommy docherty.
He got the sack from the rags soon after for playing away.

I remember that game... we also sang a rendition of:
"Where's the chairman gone
where's the chairman gone
Where's the chairman gone
where's the chairman gone
..far far away....
