Whistling the Laurel and Hardy theme tune when policemen walked around the perimeter.
“Here we go here we go here we go”
“Roasted peanuts”
“You’re going to get you’re fǔcking head kicked in” |  |

"Ivan... rip his lungs out"

"Where's your caravan? Where's your caravan?"
We sang that to one scruffy player years ago (forget who) as he came to take a corner and he started cracking up. |  |

I always thought it was a Crow rather than a Cow! Not that I can imagine a Crow having a large posterior!
"Come Tiptoe Through the Shed End with me" - courtesy of Tiny Tim
"Yes, yes, yes, it's the QPR attack" - courtesy of The Kinks |
We always sang 'crow' Terry. Although cow makes more literal sense, it doesn't rhyme, so crow wins for me. Also crow keeps the theme bird-based....
If I had the wings of a sparrow, if I had the arse of a crow, I'd fly over [insert name of football ground - always Stamford Bridge for us of course] and shit on the fans below....
I might be taking this too seriously but hey ho... |  |

Not hear, but see, but bring back launching toilet rolls from behind the ground onto the pitch.
It was environmentally friendly too, beats all this silly pyro stuff! |  | | |

Or ticket rolls nicked from the buses at the Kensal Rise terminus. Easier to put in your pocket. |  | | |

Never heard The Kinks one. Shame, I like that a lot. |
From Autumn Almanac, the "QPR attack" replacing my "Autumn Almanac". I can't remember if it survived into the 70's.
From the same song, instead of going "to Blackpool for our holiday", they went to "football on a Saturday, kicked their f****** heads in all right". |  | | |

Unless I’m mistaken I’m not sure ‘He’s fat, he’s round, he bounces on the ground’ has had much of an airing in recent years. My last recollection was an admirably persistent interpretation directed, in this case, at Southampton manager Alan Ball during a 1994 visit by the Saints to Loftus Road. |

It would be, ‘Off you go to take an ice bath’ now. Gone are the days of teams celebrating in communal plunge baths with champagne, cigars and a selection of ‘dolly’ birds. | | | |

One of the few times I heard where’s your caravan? sang at Loftus Road was to Stephen Hunt of Reading. I’m glad he took it in good jest. One of those players I liked. Unusual for a ‘Fake’ |  | | |

I seem to recall opposing fans singing that song to Gino Gino Padula. |  |

When I was 16 and playing colts cricket, I got hacked off with my club and then, when offered a game by the club my grandad used to play for, jumped at the chance and moved.
They very soon offered me a game with the men's team - something my previous club had never done - and over the moon, I went along for my debut.
It went well and they were a great bunch, but after the game I got a real shock: There were showers but they were for the opposition, the home players were supposed to use the massive, concrete bath  .
I was a shy and callow youth, so the prospect of this weird, communal washing experience was utterly terrifying. The way some of the larger players entered the bath with a belly flop was far from helpful, too. I just had to grit my teeth, try not to dwell on how unhygienic it all was and get on with it.
Someone used to nip off the pitch 20 minutes before the expected end of the match to turn on the bath's gigantic taps. I shudder to think how much it would cost to fill such a thing these days.
All character building, I suppose... | |

My dad’s football club in the 50’s and 60’s sometimes had six or seven sides all playing at home on the same day. Always remember him saying, ‘God help you if you were the last team in that bath’. | | | |

I remember playing a Sunday morning game somewhere in North London like Barnet or Finchley and having to bathe in a stream in a wooded area afterwards … in November. | | | |
