Tigers' history

[Ric Glasgow]

I don't recall 'Wise Men Say' being sung at City in the 70's. Very few clubs had there own songs in those days. The obvious one was Liverpool, YNWA, and every club sang that is if it was there own. City terrace chants in the 70's, like most clubs, were copied off each other, and quite simple chants. Mostly about getting your head kicked in, one song was Jim Reeves 'Distant Drums', sang 'We hear the sound of distant bums, over there, over there, and when they come......' Mary Hopkins, 'Those were the days', another I remember was 'Soley, Soley' but sang 'Oh, David Sunley, repeat...' Forget which group sang it. Cliff Richards, Batchelor Boy,
Also Peters and Lee's 'Welcome Home' I thought that would catch on. It was first sung, probably in the 80/90's when we moved back into Kempton after a sustained period of the stand being closed. That was about the only original song we had. It never caught on. I do remember 'Wise Men Say' being sung in the Kempton right at the back end before we moved to the KC but certainly not in the 70's.

Ahhhhh.The days of 'come and have a go with the City Aggro' and getting home for a Ham and Mushroom toast topper

As I said I googled it I can’t remember last week never mind any other time.

It was compared to what my Mum&Dad were eating...He always went to the butchers on a Saturday and came home with pigeons,a pheasant or a rabbit.(That's if he was unlucky and never got a Road kill on his way home from working at Staxton Wold)

Just ****ing NO!!!

We always sang ‘come and have a go if you think you’re hard enough’ and my favourite toast topper flavour was cheese and mushroom.

It’s amazing how different folk can be…





Edit: Apparently the toast topper flavours were Ham and cheese, mushroom and bacon, and chicken and mushroom: neither of our favourite flavours ever actually existed.


No matter. Toast toppers were ****ing amazing.

Food of the gods.

I definitely recall 'Wise Men Say' at Boothferry Park. I'd guess it was around 2001 when we were having money troubles and the players weren't getting paid, so we sent the poor ballboys round as target practice for change to pay the players.

Wasn't that Waggy's last goal for us?

 

[highpeak tiger]

According to Cloud 7 he scored two in the 75/76 season, so no, i don't think so

It’s a shame Welcome Home didn’t catch on,
maybe some of north stand faithful can get it going again.

I watched for the first time over the weekend the full Sheff W playoff final since watching it a Wembley, and had forgotten how dominant we were. The chances we had compared to Wednesdays were vastly outnumbered. We should have won it more comfortably.

The reworking of Seasons in the Sun by Terry Jacks was my favorite of that era's songs.

And for everyone else it had to be ham and cheese for toast topper, i tried getting some a few years ago only to find it had being discontinued to my disbelief.

Didn’t know where to put this but I guess he’s part of our history so I’ve put it in here. I had Greavsie’s mum and grandad in today, and his grandad was kind enough to give me one of Jacob’s Ipswich FA Cup shirts

Lol, my desk is renowned to be untidy, a bit like my daughter’s bedroom floor when she was 15, also usually as busy as ****!

27 cars sold so far this month maketh an untidy desk
