What's the earliest chant or song at Goodison you can remember? And what's the best?

[Khalekan]

"

Those were the days my friend
We took the Stretford end
We took the Shed
The North Bank Highbury
We'd live the life we choose
We'd fight and never lose
We were the boys of Everton FC


My favourite has always been "We shall not be moved" sung properly it makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand on end.

Good old 70s chant, that

 

[FTY]

Grand Old Team..

You mean ive been signing it wrong all these years??? doh!
would love to know the real lines mate if you know them, one of my earliest memories of a Goodison game

All the Kopites are crying,
Graeme Souness is dying,
What a wonderful way, to spend your day,
Watching Graeme Souness pass away.

I quite like guy now, if I'm honest. I love listening to him on Sky Sports when he analyses, especially on Champions League nights. Him and Gary Neville together are a breath of fresh air, talking sense and no flannel like the rest of the blerts they usually get on there.

 

[Emlynsqueakyvoice]

The earliest one I can remember was (to the tune of Michael Row The Boat Ashore) "Send St John to Vietnam"... There's one that dates me....

My favourite, and one that I managed to get started on that very drunken day on that balcony at Neurenburg, was "One Goal at a Time, Bob Latchford"...

When Shankly left Liverpool, the first game he went to was us v Derby. As he took his seat in the Director's box, the Street End sang "Hey rock 'n roll, Shankly's on the dole". To his credit Shankly took his hat off to the crowd.

 

[Big Neville Southall]

First was Onwards Evertonians, favourites were late 70's random hoolie songs in the Park end, about one armed Babs and Blackbeard. The humour was a lotmore subtle then.

Oh, and 'we hate Bill Shankly and we hate St John.....' , goosepimples every time

What was the Blackbeard one?

I take it the Babs one was the give us a wave chant!

 

[allezlesbleus]

Aye aye aye west is better than Yashin
Husband is better than Eusebio and Kendall is better than rattin!!!

 

[allezlesbleus]

Play up everton you're noted everywhere
Knock old Liverpool flying through the air
If they ask for mercy, we've got none to spare
So play up everton you're noted everywhere


First song I heard my dad sing, may have origins well earlier than 60s, cld go back to pre war I think unless any one knows better

 

[GraemeS1980]

There was some boss singing today (my lack of voice is evidence of that) some old school songs were sung too.

One of the best was back in '95 I was with my Dad and we were in the stand behind the goal Matt Jackson scored in, at the age of 15 singing we shall not be moved is something I will never ever forget.

Another few I like are who needs Cantona when we've got Barry Horne, Barry hoooooooooooorrrrrrrnnnnneeee!
and who put the ball in the RS net super Kevin Campbell.

 

[Big Neville Southall]

There was meant to be a good song 60s or 70s song to Hi ho Silver lining, anyone know that one?

There was meant to be a good song 60s or 70s song to Hi ho Silver lining, anyone know that one?

The one in the 1960,s I can remember

There was meant to be a good song 60s or 70s song to Hi ho Silver lining, anyone know that one?

The one in 1969 was "come on within in you not see anything thing like the mighty Everton"

by Manfredd man -
I never heard the hi ho silver lining one sung in the Glawdys street?
I heard the war one song singing Hi Hi hippy high in 1966 also popular on our cup run to Wembley

 

[Ashtonian]

alwyas remember 'there's only two wooly jumpers' but there is a stroy behind that.

Remember cheering Sunderland's goals in 96-97 game at goodison and laughing, but still being too young to know why.

 

[Gwlacticos]

First game I went to at Goodison with my dad and younger brother was against Shefield Wed. about '85. Must have been at the front of the Main Stand 'cos I remember the Gwladys St. to our left, and we were late into the ground, and the first chant I heard was '[Poor language removed] off Marwood, [Poor language removed] off Marwood' from the Gwladys. We won 3-1, and I remember Lineker scoring. It was just after Christmas I think. I was 12.

 

[No8Bally]

Oh we hate Tony Hatley and we hate St John, but most of all we hate big Ron

 

[Joey66]

Oh we hate Tony Hatley and we hate St John, but most of all we hate big Ron

"and we will hang the Kopites one by one on the banks of the Royal Blue Mersey" !

 

[Dario Terracotta]

"I hear the sound of distant bums,over there,over there,and do they smell?like f*cking hell" this Jim Reeves number was apparently directed at our loveable neighbours in the 1960's.
