I'd walk a million miles, for one of your goals, oh Chaaarlee. (For the one and only Charlie Livesey).

Yeah Charlie did used to respond to that chant. Wish we could transplant some of the old stuff to The Amex, very weak for songs , chants etc from the new North Stand. I don't think it's just The Albion by the way.

No but I do remember:

We've got Willie Willie Willie Willie Irvine in our team, in our team,
We've got Willie Willie Willie Willie Irvine in our team, in our team,
Willie, Willie Irvine, Willie Irvine in our team,
Willie, Willie Irvine, Willie Irvine in our team.

and

From the banks of the River Mersey to the Isle of Sicily,
We will fight, fight, fight, for the Albion till we win division 3 (the Football League),
To hell (or Farewell to) with Aston Villa, to hell with Notts County,
We will fight fight fight for the Albion, till we win division 3.

**** sake; alright my mistake Wilkinson, I should have specified that they were two different songs.

Still not got over being bullied at school? By Potts probably.

Did I get the others correct? Pleeeeeease check!

A much better opening to that song was "From the darkest corner of Selhurst Park..."

It's hardly ever belted out at home games these days, even away days it seems subdued from how it sounded a few years back.

OK then, here's one you hardly ever hear any more,

Albion, Albion, Albion,
Albion, Albion, Albeeeuun
Albion, Albion, Albion,
Albion,
AL-BE-YUN

we tend to get the dirge Liverpool style whinging and wailing version now, rubbish.

??? That one always gets sung in WSU.

I had a wee tear in my eye when the refrain of, 'Brighton are back, Brighton are back...', went up at the first league game at the Amex in August 2011 :cry: Will stay with me forever and a day!

I don't even know how the chant goes and I still got goosebumps reading this

Stab stab stab at Trevor Morley (?) after he was knifed by his wife after allegedly being caught in bed with another WHU player.

There was another chant that slips my memory after Peter Shilton was found cheating with another woman?
One Mrs Morley, there's only 1 Mrs Morley.....

Trevor Morley had a wife, EIEIO
And in her hand she had a knife. EIEIO
With a stab stab here and a stab stab there... etc.

Around the same time during a visit to Upton Park....

Nigel Benn's only got 1 eye. Doo dah, doo dah....

He's old, he's slow.
Wind him up and watch him go.

Que serra serra,
Whatever will be will be.
Walks over the Curbishly.

"**** 'em all,
**** 'em all,
United, West Ham, Liverpool,
'Cos we come from Brighton and we are the best,
We come from Brighton so **** all the rest!"

"In fair Brighton's city,
Where the girls are so pretty,
I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone
As she wheeled her wheelbarra,
Through the streets broad and narra,
Crying
*clap, clap, clap clap clap, clap clap clap clap*
BRIGHTON!

That second one's certainly worth resurrecting. Trouble is most of the young 'uns won't have a clue about the tune. *traditional song heritage*
 


That was funny. Clever and spontaneous.

Yeah, it was very mad that day. There was another song we sang about the crossbar that day but I can't recall it.
