As dated as the song maybe, i must say that it makes it JUST THE RIGHT AGE!!!!! in my book Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wings of a Sparrow 1,388 Posted January 19, 2011 Kick it off, throw it in, have a little scrimmage,Keep it low, a splendid rush, bravo, win or die;On the ball, City, never mind the danger,Steady on, now''s your chance,Hurrah! We''ve scored.(A GOAL) City!, City!, City!Good article and I don''t mean to piss on your tatties but we certainly used to sing the above version (which I think is the original penned version) at least from the 70''s onwards. I don''t know exactly when this was dropped from the song on the terrace - presumably as the song got speeded up.There are several other verses as well.
