I was just listening to a podcast on the way in to work and they were talking about why Ajax sing 3 little birds. They had the Cardiff stadium announcer (Ali at the time?) saying it was from a pre season friendly at NP, there was trouble outside and the Ajax fans were kept in and he played songs to drown out the noise of the fighting, one of which was that one and from then one Ajax adopted it.

Now I was at that friendly, it was half empty, pissing down and a terrible 0-0 draw. The Bob Bank seating area was officially closed but when it started shitting it the entire terrace climbed up there under cover. I have no memory of trouble outside and although I remember Ajax singing it after the game, in my mind it wasn't because it was on the tannoy, it felt like something they just did.

Anybody remember?
