Kingston Town by UB40 should be our club song. "Oh Kingston Town, The place I long to be If I had the whole world I would give it away Just to see, the Tigers at play."
I know that quite rightly we as a club will not entertain goal music.... But if we did, these vintage Les Gray dance moves would goad angry away fans from E4
Yes Tiger Rag that included the line Hold that Tiger was played for many years. I first heard it when I started supporting the Tigers in Raich Carter days. In my opinion nothing wrong with it and not sure why it was eliminated.
Yes Tiger Rag and "Hold that Tiger" was very much part of my early Tiger supporting days in the late 40-50s Yardley. For us little lads congregating in The Well next to where our heroes ran out of the tunnel onto the BP pitch, the Rag played at full volume was our first indication that the great men, led by the incomparable Silver Fox, were about to emerge and caused great excitement among us small fry. Happy days and great memories eh Yardley!!!
We've been average away from home recently. If we can turn that around and beat Derby on Saturday... a play-off push is really on.
Derby on Saturday has a feel of WBA away in 2008 , if we win it will feel as tho something very unlikely could actually happen
I think that was Tiger Rag. Esso used it in one of their adverts and put the words to it. In the sixties they had a promotional campaign where you could earn a tiger's tail. I had quite a few. Anyone else remember those? Their slogan was "Put a tiger in your tank". please log in to view this image Yes, I do know what it looks like but those were innocent days at primary school. The slogan was an innuendo as well, but I never noticed then.
There was a time when the Tiger heads on the top of Esso petrol pumps used to disappear and resurface on Bunkers.As did the pub sign from the Tiger at Beeford. please log in to view this image
People hung the tiger's tails from their internal mirrors. They were the forerunners of fluffy dice. My dad refused to have one. Looking at it now, he was wiser than I gave him credit for.
And one from a petrol station near to Portman Road Ipswich which was carried into the ground by some Hull City supporters, soon dumped though, we got hammered 4-0 Ray Crawfor being the villain of the day.
