I used to be friendly with Phil who started the Ayatollah chant at Lincoln's Sinful Bank in 1990.
My real claim to fame came at a match at Springfield Park, Wigan, a few years later. 3 of us were standing at the front of the muddy bank when, after about 2 minutes, we scored.
And then we made up a chant that stuck forever....
.............
"LETHAL, LETHAL LYNEX"
I'm inordinately made up by my "I'm Into Something Good" which was enthusiastically adopted last season by the The Ninian.
I thought that started at Enfield in the cup in '88 - also the Lynex for England chants started and he was laughing himself - god trip that oneQuote:

I can remember singing it at Enfield.Quote:

Where would you go with the lyrics after the first line during which the syllables match ?Quote:

Men of Anfield here's our story

We're the greatest team in Europe
Toshack is our king !
I saw Toshack play once. My friend said to me who's that? I said it's Toshack. He said Toshack who? I said Toshack who, who? The next minute the whole ground was singing it.Quote:

No
I was the man behind the "Accrington Stanley....who are they!?" advert in the 80s.
did you once do a drunken solo rendition of this outside the Ivor?Quote:

Ah, now maybe this thread can settle an argument that has been raging in the Dandruff household:Quote:

Does anyone know if it was sung prior to the Leicester away game?
🤔
In the Grange End in either the last or penultimate season at Ninian Park and a young stewardess with big black hair tied up was standing behind the goals. I started shouting “Are you Winehouse in disguise”. Soon the whole Grange End was singing it but I felt bad when she walked away visibly upset. She appeared at only a few more games and got the same treatment, then she was no more. Sorry love :frown:
I'm pretty sure I was the first (or one of the first) to sing Ooh ahh Paul Millar, but I wouldn't be surprised if others had the same idea. Even so, it was a thrill to hear the other dozen people in the Canton Stand take it up.
Has anyone successfully fooled an entire stand of people into looking at nothing? My mates and I used to try this. One of us stands up, points at something in the corner of the ground; the rest of us stand up and point and stare in the same direction. Normally a good few people sitting around us will stand up to see what's going on, but we never managed to get more than a small section of the Bob Bank to stare pointlessly at a floodlight for about 20 seconds.
Or the preferred "ooh ah Stantona" :biggrin:Quote:

Yes. The time I wore a cheerleader's outfit on the Grange End, hair in pigtails, pom poms on each hand and started "Give us a 'C'".....
Cardiff City March to Glory,
Swansea is our lavatory,
Watch the teams all fall before thee,
Hear ye not our call.
Won the cup in '27,
Always play with pride and venom,
God supports us up in heaven,
Every foe apall
'bout time the 1927 thing was done away with now. Bit cringe like. :shrug:Quote:
