[Albion] Albion chants you never hear anymore AND funniest crowd moments!

[jcdenton08]

I remember back in the Goldstone days in mid/late 70's a chant "Hit him on the head, hit him on the head, hit him on the head with a baseball bat, oh yeah oh yeah hit him on the head with a baseball bat"..

I guess they were American? Or lacked the most basic understanding of the laws of the game?

 

[el punal]

Sung by the North Stand in the FA Cup replay against Aldershot in 1967 :

“Who’s that goalie with the big, fat bum? Godfrey! Godfrey!

Who’s that goalie with big, fat bum? Godfrey is his name!”

Such naughty scallywags! Tony Godfrey was Aldershot’s goalie. The Albion won 3-1 in front of a nearly 30,000 crowd and went on to play Chelsea in the 4th round at home. We drew that 1-1 before 35,000!

and went on to play Chelsea in the 4th round at home. We drew that 1-1 before 35,000!

That was a hell of a thrashing we took in the replay. Luckily it didn't hurt our goal difference in the league!

"But 9,182 of them were offside, ref!"

You’re going home in a Sussex ambulance.

Bring on the dustbin.

Also remember the fa cup 5-0 win against Crawley town, when on several occasions Crawley we’re accused of being dirty northern ba****ds.

Harry Roberts is my mate

Harry Roberts is our friend. Yeah, pretty nasty that one.

 

[Screaming J]

When the red red robin goes Bob Bob bobbing along

Shoot the *******, shoot the *******, shoot, shoot, shoot.

Never really understood the origin of that one!

 

[Baldseagull]

Over there......over there
and do they smell ....like ****ing hell.

I recall that being adapted for the vist of Grimsby to the Goldstone, "and do they smell .....like Mackerel" made me laugh at the time.

 

[Worried Man Blues]

Another from the back of the East Terrace, every time there was a corner, a little group of hairies shouted.......... In A Gadda Da Vida .....obviously an Iron Butterfly song.

 

[Seagull]

She fell over!
We just f**ked you up the a*** as a response to "does your boyfriend know you're here?" & after a couple of BHA goals
Who's the w*nker in the black?

 

[bobby baxter]

For obvious reasons we never hear the chorus of.....

'Sha la la la lee....' by the Small Faces with the words 'Sha la la Livesey' (as in Charlie)...

Brings back childhood memories....

I think it was Char - lar - lar - lee Livesey.

"The London bums are here", was another.

 

[paulfuzz]

When a player went down The count to 10 then "he's out" then the funeral march

 

[Lucas]

Withdean: singing to our own goalie, for example...
Kuipers what's the score? Kuipers Kuipers what's the score?
Then he'd signal back with fingers, greeted by a cheer.

 

[Lever]

I think it was Char - lar - lar - lee Livesey.

"The London bums are here", was another.

Yes it was Bobby! Do you remember

Aye, yi yi-yi

Tony Burns is better than Yashin

Dave Turner is better than Eusabio

..and Chelsea are in for a thrashing!

For over 40 years I have always cringed when this is sung.... "all the lads and lasses..." FFS

 

[Psychobilly freakout]

Away at Preston early 90s I think the local Leyland Daff plant had just closed down, with thousands of local jobs affected.

Brighton fans start singing “ There’s only one Ford Transit, there’s only one ford transit”

I hate it, it’s not ours.
