Erm......Not the version you have shown OlM. I refer to the BP version.
"""The Fighting Fury""" for example was in the BP version.

Tiger Rag goes back to just after the War when it was played over the tannoy at BP
It was also played in early 70s
It's not an anthem, or a singalong chorus, just a piece of music that has long associations with the club (at least 65 years)
For a club without much history, it's a start.
The original copy was sold at the KC in the Centenary auction, with a load of other big wax 78s
Someone out there has it.

Maybe, but that version's the one I know as hold the tiger. There's a different song that was used at City with the words Tiger Rag, possibly in the Robby days and it was possibly a US college or maybe an Aussie one?
Tickler's mashup of the two when he decides the Richmond tune with the Rag lyrics would be good?
As for the Will Young comment someone made. I'd be fine with that so long as his latest cover is the 4 minutes silence.
