Marching down the Goodison Road…
History of Everton’s Iconic Fan Chant
Steeped in history and brimming with Evertonian spirit, “The Goodison Gang” is more than just a chant—it’s a rallying cry that echoes down Goodison Road and beyond. Born from the terraces and immortalised in the 1968 BBC drama The Golden Vision, this song captures the raw energy and unapologetic pride of Everton’s loyal supporters. With lyrics like “Marching down the Goodison Road, all the windows open wide” and “We are the Goodison Gang, we’ve got no manners, we spend all our tanners,” it’s a celebration of the club’s working-class roots and fearless identity. Sung with gusto whether at home or on the road, this anthem unites the Toffees faithful, embodying the defiance, camaraderie, and respect that define Everton FC. Join the Gang—sing it loud, sing it proud.

Lyrics of The Goodison Gang
Marching down the Goodison Road,
All the windows open wide.
When your hear a copper shout ‘hey, put the candles out’
We are the Goodison Gang.
We’ve got no manners, we spend all our tanners,
We are respected, wherever we may go.
Marching down the Goodison Road…
