1960, we won it at Man City

Post by Claretforever » Sat Apr 20, 2019 6:21 pm

New song suggested online which, to be honest, looks like it would sound really good.

Not too difficult to learn and it actually refers to our successful past, rather than our neighbours. I’m surprised we don’t have any already about our great sides.

Hopefully the link works, which is ‘our’ words over San Lorenzo fans?

Including a first verse since added, here are the words:

‘In twenty one
We won it at Everton
Thirty undefeated
Halley, Boyle and Watson brought it home’

‘Nineteen sixty
We won it at Man City
The fans went in their thousands
To see Burnley become champions’


I think it’s good anyway as it respects our past.

If we’re going to sing a Bonnie Tyler song I think it should be “Total Eclipse of Joe Hart”

Great shout, Claretforever.

We have proud history at our Club which should never be forgotten.

I just wished our fans believed in ourselves more, like we did years ago.

It seems like a great song. Hopefully our fans have a go. If it was 15 years ago I’d be the one making sure it did, but I’m a bit past that now. I’ll definitely join in though, but I’m in the wrong side of the ground to start it, and don’t go on with the 20 mates I used to to give it a chance.

Cricket Fielders with balls, it’s down to you..

We definitely need another “Burnley” song, and this could be it.

Other clubs seem to do alright. Man United sing about their sides of 50 years ago, Liverpool too. Spurs still sing their 960’s glory hymn. Huddersfield sing about their titles in the 1920’s...They have some great songs that are passed down.

Our fans are so short-sighted and fearful of change. We should be proud of what we’ve achieved.

Dyche, it wouldn't sound daft, if we won it nearly 60 years ago.
