When You’re Smiling 2022-23
Re: When You’re Smiling
Was that when PStotto had a season ticket?Dressinggown wrote: ↑Sun Oct 09, 2022 10:33 pmAt a similar point of time we came across a more obscure song.about ex Claret Stevie Taylor. It may have been whilst playing for PNE but I recall singing it whilst he was at Burnley and some considerable years after.
It went:
'Stevie Taylor, sucks a horses p*nis, eats chicken gizzards and wears a floppy hat.
He lives in a museum, where everyone can see him.
Stevie Taylor is a horses t**t.'
Bizarre.

Re: When You’re Smiling
What a refreshing thread.
Can't say I recall this being sung. Maybe a bit before my time. But love the idea of bringing it back.

Re: When You’re Smiling
One of our best chants, remarkable it was popular during some of the dark days.

Re: When You’re Smiling
Popular from the late 70s to late 90s, not sung much this century. Definitely worth bringing back onto the hymn sheet

Thinking on the song was popular throughout the 70s

Re: When You’re Smiling
It’s odd that disbelief really. Even when I joined this site 5/6 years ago it had already been a topic. Why would people just not believe. Someone had to start it because these things don’t just magically appear do they. We know the origin of that chant but the disbelief from others is probably borne out if some kind of weird jealousy maybe? I don’t know.Juan Tanamera wrote: ↑Mon Oct 10, 2022 11:24 amWe did indeed Ian, strange how no one believes us though.
Two brothers and a mate started that circa 1970, give or take, I know who the two brothers are and you know who the mate was, I suppose genius is never recognised while in our own lifetime.

Re: When You’re Smiling
We stole this song off Leicester City 1979-80 season the year we were relegated to the third division i think they were going for promotion and was definitely the first time I had heard it sung when they beat us with ease and with a large following started singing it at us

Re: When You’re Smiling
I'm fairly sure we were singing this quite some time before 79/80.

Not gonna argue like a schoolkid fella, but you're either mistaken or arguing for the sake of it.

Re: When You’re Smiling
I started going as a regular on the longside as a 14 year old in 1967 and we were definitely singing "When You're Smiling" in the early 70's.
It's hardly a new song is it (published in 1928).

Re: When You’re Smiling
My first season ticket was 74/75. My clear recollection is that we were singing this on a regularly basis then and / or shortly after. My clearest recollection is that it certainly featured prominently in the away end at Boundary Park in the Anglo Scottish Final.

Re: When You’re Smiling
I think it would be great if we could sing 'When you're Smiling'
and bring it back as our anthem this season especially as VK and the team
have managed to bring back the smiles to most fans this season.
May need to find an appropriate 'claret and blue' ending
so someone needs to find the right words.
Shall have a think about it but hopefully others might too.
Really positive tune too.

Absolutely!!!!
We need the ‘song makers’ on the back of the coaches, to start working their magic…

I take no credit for them. Many of them are likely taken by Andy Ford.
It’s great to see everyone smiling!

Re: When You’re Smiling
Fans singing a rendition of "when you're smiling was great in the 70's" of course the waving hands on the na na na na na has to be part of it.

Re: When You’re Smiling
That has to be the best smile ... and infectious too when he is with the lads after he or they have scored ... The way he gestured towards the fans testerday to get them behind the team was fantastic ...
