I know your vocal range on the terraces is better than Celine Dion’s, and that is why you’re the perfect person to ask about football songs. Do you think Football Song T-Shirts would be a good idea? I’ve done four (below), but I was wondering if you wanted any others.
If you’ve got a favourite song that you like to sing on a Saturday afternoon when your team are 3-0 up, then let me know in the comments below.
If you could keep it clean, and in the general ballpark of decency as dictated by the laws of society, that would also be good 😁
Just a few lyrics, not the whole song, if that’s okay.
Thanks,
Ian

Hi. The song Blue Day by Suggs is a Chelsea song and starts with :
The only place to be, every other Saturday Is strolling down the Fulham Road. Meet your mates, have a drink, have a moan and start to think . . .
The other (maybe more obvious Chelsea song is ‘Blue is the Colour’ with lyrics of ‘Blue is the colour, football is the game’ ‘we’re all together and winning is our aim’ ‘so cheers us on through the sun and rain’
Just a few thoughts!
Cheers

Deffo best footie anthem ever
Tottenham Hotspur fans love to sing along to “Can’t Smile Without You” by Barry Manilow:
You know I can’t smile without you
I can’t smile without you
I can’t laugh and I can’t sing
I’m finding it hard to do anything
You see, I feel sad when you’re sad
I feel glad when you’re glad
If you only knew what I’m going through
I just can’t smile without you
Marching on together
were gonna see you win
na na na na na na
we are so proud, we shout it out loud
we love you

Burnley fans favourite is “No Nay Never, No Nay Never No More”
Don’t know how many Norwich fans you have around here, but I’d buy On The Ball City – apparently the oldest football song.
Kick it off, throw in, have a little scrimmage,
Keep it low, a splendid rush, bravo, win or die,
On the ball, City!
Never mind the danger,
Steady on, now’s your chance,
Hurrah! We’ve scored a goal.
Guess you could reduce it to the “On The Ball City and Never Mind the Danger” lines, but surely words like scrimmage, bravo and Hurrah should feature!
Sunderland supporters song “Can help falling in Love ” by Elvis Presley .
Wise men say
Only fools rush in
But I can’t help falling in love with you
Shall I stay?
Would it be a sin
If I can’t help falling in love with you?
For Geordies everywhere…
“Oh me lads, ye shudda seen us gannin’, Passin’ the foaks along the road just as they wor stannin’; All the lads an’ lasses there, all wi’ smiling faces, Gannin alang the Scotswood Road, to see the Blaydon Races.”
Cherry and white
It’s in our blood
Ancient and loyal
Until we die
Wigan warriors
Oh Leeds United,
I’m so delighted,
I chose you as my football team,
We’ve had some good years,
Shed a few tears,
But you’ll always be in my dreams.
We are the boys
Still at the top
We’re kings of rugby and we’re never goner stop
We are Wigan
RLFC
and we will follow were ever you maybe?
An Aston Villa favourite
Yippee aye hay
Yippee aye ho
Holte Enders in the sky
We won 9 in a row and I’m still dreaming,
of Brian Laudrup and Trevor Steven,
Marvin Andrews said “Keep Believing”,
Davie Cooper’s on the wing,
We remember Gazza with great affection, The day the helicopter changed direction, Jimmy Baxter he was pure perfection,
Super Ally scores again…
So let me tell you that I love you,
And I think about you all the time,
Ibrox Stadium is calling me and now I’m going home,
To think of life without the Rangers,
You know that it would make me more than sad,
Glasgow Rangers is everything l’ve ever had
There is only ONE
You’ll never walk alone.
When you walk through a storm
Hold your head up high
And don’t be afraid of the dark
At the end of a storm
There’s a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of a lark
Walk on through the wind
Walk on through the rain
And You’ll Never Walk Alone
YoullNever Walk Alone.
Goodnight Irene.
Having nicked it years ago (from Plymouth?) we Gasheads (Bristol Rovers) have sung it ever since!
Sheffield United ‘Greasy chip butty’ song. “You fill up my senses, like a gallon of Magnet. Like a packet of Woodbines Like a good pinch of snuff Like a night out in Sheffield Like a greasy chip butty Like Sheffield United, come fill me again.”
The Wonder of You by Elvis Presley for Port Vale (paraphrased)
When no-one else can understand me
When everything I do is wrong
You give me hope and consolation
You give me strength to carry on
I guess you’ll never know the reason why
I love you as I do
That’s the wonder
The wonder of you
The lords my shepherd I’ll not want she makes me down to lie , in pastures green she leadeth me the quiet waters by, the West Brom , the West Brom
