For anyone there that day, it will rank as one of their all-time favourites.

Really enjoyed that, was treated to the sight of brother on the pitch after first goal. Another one for the no crowds no history brigade.

 

[Keeper!]

Check out the Charlton promotion game about 18.45, can hear it quite clearly

Still one of my favorite occasions of all time, incredible atmosphere that day.

I have to Google 50% of the words you use, in your posts.
It used to be 80% but you do repeat a few!

How do you think he finds the words to use?

 

[Gingers Dad]

Ah but Frothy is on about the 80's. I am not sure if that is all the ten years of that decade or just one or two seasons, perhaps 87/88 and 88/89.
But he is adamant that we never sang it.
I have already had to apologise.

We definitely sang it at the 81 Cup final

We definitely sang it at the 81 Cup final

And at Villa Park, the Holt End

 

[waspish]

We should start singing it again just for the outrage from the scousers and media. ;)

And at Villa Park, the Holt End

That was a great rendition that day I was in the thick of it. Almost every club sang it back then, no idea why the never guilty think it's exclusively theirs.

Mr Swales says a big thank you to the 47,000 who turned up !!!
My arse 47,000 and looking out from the top of the North Stand it was more like 57,000.

omg this is so funny. Why he's shouting and going high pitched I dont know but the horror on his face at some of the English team names is priceless.

57k?

I would seriously put it higher than that, I was in the Main Stand that day, is was wild, all the walkways rammed with people, Kippax, Platt Lane and North Stand rammed, what a great day but PJ must have made a fortune that day.

Think he took a third off the gate and trousered the rest.

This dirge associated with Liverpool and Celtic is promoted as if it was the only football song . If I'm honest never been mad on Blue Moon originally Crew Alex's anyway. Delilah (Stoke ) , Wild Rover ( Burnley), Annie's Song (Sheff Utd ) , Mull of Kintire ( Forrest ) and Bubbles ( West Ham ) all much better than YNWA. Surprisingly Rags don't have a anthem that is unmistakably theirs , if they did no doubt it would be rammed down our throats by the media.

I understand all that, but the point I was making was the British Legion chose the music not the beeb.
Therefor if you were referring to YNWA being used as part of the British Legion service of rememberance, the bias you perceive was perpetrated by the British Legion.
If you were referring to something else the Beeb has broadcast then fair enough but please tell me which program

Think?

He did, and the same for every home game, hence why in the 80s we did not have a pot to piss in.

The man was a thief.

I happened to walk in on my girlfriend yesterday when she was watching Strictly Come Dancing on BBC. Bizarrely, their dance tribute to our troops was to the tune of YNWA. I don't think the British Legion chose the music for that, or maybe they did. Who knows ?

You do realise he's not really a TV announcer? He's a comedian and this is part of his repertoire. He's the Ghanaian Alan Partridge.

I clearly remember us singing the Nick Knack song to the words of.
"U-N-I-T-E-D Georgie Best has got VD,
With a nick knack paddy wack give the dog a bone
Why don`t United fuck off ".

Slight edit to how I sang it.
