On the ball anyone?

Recommended Posts

Just been listening to this... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPVn9eLOkF0&feature=relatedDoes anyone know when this version died out and the modern ''chanted'' version began?  Is anyone old enough to remember the old version?  Seems to me that 24,000 people singing the older version of OTBC would make the hairs stand up on anyone''s neck...wonder why it''s not done anymore?  I reckon singing that just before kick-off, like you''ll never walk alone at Anfield, should really stir up players and fans alike...but perhaps I''m just old fashioned

I sang that with over 40,000 inside Carrow Road, spine tingling stuff, youngsters today have no idea!

Oh those wer the days Wiz, squashed up against the barrier on the Barclay, and when people moved just lift your feet and go with the flow, But I do believe we Nicked OTBC song from the Rugby league, brought a lump to the throat when the whole crowed sang it

And also used by other local clubs before us apparently.

[quote user="Soton Canary"]Any ideas why it''s not sung like that any more?  [/quote]Because the fans are now more concerned about moaning that our season is over.  I really wish CR would get back to how it used to be..
