Classic football songs

Post by tiger76 » Wed Oct 20, 2021 8:52 pm

I'll put this Chelsea anthem forward for startershttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sIsgpd4DGYE

And this will always go down in Spurs folklorehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hk2G--N189Q

I’d hardly call them classics but there are some clubs where the entrance music is traditional.

The whole lot here from Everton with Grand Old Team through to the siren and Z-Cars

And my favourite from Charlton

The siren and Z Cars takes some beating. Always a highlight from a visit to Goodison.

Also Watford FC methinks ...


Watford F.C.

In 1964, Watford F.C. adopted the tune as it was then manager Bill McGarry's favourite television programme. It has been played as the players come onto pitch since then. During the rise of the club through the leagues in the 1970s and 1980s, it became associated with the club's success under manager Graham Taylor.

I think the siren has added to it all. I look forward to Everton as much as any away game.

I read that McGarry had heard it at Everton but they did scrap it a couple of years ago but the fans demanded it’s return.

Will always be Everton’s though.

That cant be correct as Z Cars only started in the 70s, nice story though

I think that was the original US version of the show which had a different theme tune

Charlton arguably the best London away day certainly the best London fans in my experience

Seem to recall the Coyle-era 3-1 win there the runout music was The Skids Into The Valley - wondering if I'm misremembering just because it's a great song 🤔

I also have a vague memory of Lt Pigeons Mouldy Old Dough at Boundary Park but stand to be corrected by those with better recollections
