Alf Hartigan Posted October 3, 2017 Posted October 3, 2017 Have I dreamt this or have we once sung 'It's a long way to the station' to the tune of 'It's a long way to Tipperary' Followed by 'you're gonna get your fuckin heads kicked in' I seem to remember singing it to Wimbledon as our serious decline combined with their momentous rise. mid 80s obviously.

paulhanley Posted October 4, 2017 Posted October 4, 2017 Going back to Blackpool I can recall various songs in the 80s that harked back to events of 1974. Probably best not repeated on here. Do I also recall (to a Boney M tune) "Many years we've hated Blackburn Rovers" ? And to the final few lines of "I'm forever blowing bubbles" "Blackburn are a running, United's running too. "Coz we are Bolton Wanderers - and we're running after you" Quote
bolty58 Posted October 4, 2017 Posted October 4, 2017 Going back to Blackpool I can recall various songs in the 80s that harked back to events of 1974. Probably best not repeated on here. You don't mean "We all piss in a tangerine pot" to the tune of 'Yellow Submarine' then? Funny how we all remember subtle changes to words - I suspect we were all singing our own thing at the time! That last one I remember as:- Blackburn's always running, Burnley's running too, We're the Bolton bootboys, running after you. Quote

Mactheknife Posted October 4, 2017 Posted October 4, 2017 I remember burnden paddock singing we are evil we are evil to the away fans in the corner of the embankment Quote
itdiddidit? Posted October 4, 2017 Posted October 4, 2017 one of my earliest memories of burnden songs was a bloke who used to bellow out from somewhere in the paddock everywhere we go people wanna know who we are we are the bolton mighty mighty bolton each line was repeated by the paddock there were many songs that you'd be on crimewatch for singing these days but were par for the non pc times, when a sp shovel was referred to as a shovel.

Baba O'Riley Posted October 4, 2017 Posted October 4, 2017 Do I also recall (to a Boney M tune) "Many years we've hated Blackburn Rovers" ? Goombay Dance Band, “7 Tears”, but yeah remember it well early 80s Home and away. Quote

Ani Posted October 4, 2017 Posted October 4, 2017 These songs seem soft now but back in the day when people really were going to 'kick your fucking head in' they were really not soft. Quote
Take Hunt Off Posted October 4, 2017 Posted October 4, 2017 Preston have an ethnically diverse midfielder Quote
Casino Posted October 4, 2017 Posted October 4, 2017 (edited) how times have changed clyde best from bermuda i think notts county had pedro richards and a black guy similarly orient had two black players, one being heppolette, who it turned out had family links to bolton (this might be the preston fella who ive just discovered wasnt black but was born in india) Edited October 4, 2017 by Casino Quote
Take Hunt Off Posted October 4, 2017 Posted October 4, 2017 (edited) I used to cringe even then when that song was aired. It was Ricky Hepolette who was just about sun tanned Not like Yellow Kelly. Edited October 4, 2017 by Take Hunt Off Quote

A good winger he was. Clyde Best was from the West Indies and a great player. Ade Coker played up front with him for a while and was another handy player before he fucked off to the US I think? Think he was Nigerian? Quote

paulhanley Posted October 4, 2017 Posted October 4, 2017 The three degrees at WBA. Cyrille Regis and Laurie Cunningham were absolutely brilliant. Tore us apart more than once and also responsible for a memorable 3-5 win for them at Old Trafford in the snow one Christmas. Quote
SatanGreavsie Posted October 4, 2017 Posted October 4, 2017 These songs seem soft now but back in the day when people really were going to 'kick your fucking head in' they were really not soft. "Hello, hello - Bolton aggro, Bolton aggro" sounds shite, but if I think about it now it brings back memories of summat booting off from the Paddock, usually after you saw a cup of coffee or owt go flying. Then it was the same pattern. Wall of (some) people rushing in the opposite direction and returning to sing "you'll never take the Paddock". One memory is when we played Sheff Wed, God knows when, and 3 yorkies made a break from the paddock by trying to climb the fence. Two got over but the third was trapped lying over the spikes with his mates trying to pull him over and Paddock fans laying into him, including - and I think this is why it's etched into my memory - a bloke lamping him with his crash helmet. It was comical and serious at the same time. But they got him over. I think we need a return of the Laurel and Hardy theme tune every time the police or orange warriors get involved in anything...

Aye, they also beat the DMB's 4-0 at their place and I took great pleasure in winding up one of the red shites about it who worked with me on Lever Street at the time. Brendan Batson was the third member of the soul brothers at the baggies. Didn't someone give Cyrille the 'Black Pearl' nickname formerly the label for Pele? Quote
Casino Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 from memory, forest beat the filth 4-0 at the theatre of scum (match of the day) west brom did em 5-3 (kick off) Quote
