Only Manny Roaders would probably know this. The halfway liners who stood behind the dugout with those stupid fucking air horns.

 

"Bolton Wanderers" sang to Van Der Graaf Generators 'Killer'.

 

Dangerous lunatics. Seemed to melt away when Sir Jim left us.

Ne-il Ne-il Whatmore (clap, clap)

 

 

For some reason that reminded of the "Men of Harlech" ditty we used to sing in the Jimmy Armfield era:-

 

First you see Roy Greavo soaring

Then you see John Byrom scorin'

Then you hear all Bolton roarin'

Byrom is our king!

Hahaha, they are all coming back to me today!

 

Any of you remember Big Dave H from Great Lever who had the loudest gob in the Lever End. Always used to call refs and opposition players "Yer fuckin' poultice" at around 100 decibels.

 

I recall he used to sing a bawdy rugby song (sure it was him) to the tune of Ken Dodds "Love Is Like A Violin" (yes young uns - Ken Dodd actually had a top 10 single in the 'hit parade' in the early 60's. Oh my God).

 

Went something like:-

 

Love is like a violin,

Pull it out and push it in....

 

 

Can't remember the rest but recall a G string was mentioned plus loads of smutty innuendo.

 

Had fuck all to do with the football but he just liked to sing it! Would have been in the late 60's so no Third Division unless my memory is failing me. Thought it worth a mention anyway.

 

Way -oh! Goobah, goobah, goobah.............................
