Lech Poznań Introduced The Poznan To City 21/10/2010

I thought this YT Lech Poznan video gives a great sociological/cultural history of the Poznan with some fantastic quotes including:


Translation to English from 13:06
I generally have the impression that Manchester City, despite the successes they have had recently, is not such a pompous company as its local rival and in general they are some nicer people

19:37
From an Oasis fan I spoke to, I know, for example, about the British guy who, in fact, only because he did “the Poznań” at the concert he flew to Poznań and explored the city and this aspect of Poznań's recognition as a city. I think it's important in this whole story

21:40
I can't say what will happen because if someone had said in 2010 that we would get into the Cambridge Dictionary with this, we would get to Wembley we will reach Mexico, LA, New York during Oasis concerts I don't think anyone would believe it

22:21
The history of this dance is a story that is inextricably linked to the sports rivalry with Manchester City which will forever be the foundation of the history of Lech Poznań.
There has never been anything greater in the history of Lech even a victory against Olympique Marseille, who later won the European Cup, will never go down in history as something that is later carried out by fans

Didn't you all know that Celtic fans invented it first and called it the 'Huddle'?

Well they keep telling everyone who will listen.

It is strange that having lived in Scotland since 1987 and seen Celtic play numerous times, I have never seen their supporters 'do the huddle'.
