Aye aye aye ..aye black law is better than yashin lochead is better than eusebio and stoke are in for a thrashing!!! One of the best songs I heard on the old cricketfield terrace.a night match bowt 67 against Liverpool. penny lane.it was an amazing rendition.i can still see the big docker red and white striped t shirt and black beret belting out the song. Don't like Liverpool these days but that was special!! The best I've heard at turf moor.

Much more respectful times down the turf now thankfully.

I always liked this one Hazzy. My memory is slightly different. Not sure why we sang about Sunderland, other than it's three syllables.

Bring on Sunderland and Arsenal, bring on Scousers by the score.
Barcelona, Real Madrid, they all made a gallant bid
BUT BURNLEY ARE THE TEAM WE ALL ADORE!

"2 4 6 8 who do we appreciate?"

And playing Blackpool on the Turf mid 60s to the tune of Yellow Submarine - 'We all pi$$ in a tangerine pot..'

Happy days.

"If you're proud to be a Claret" is less often sung/chanted these days, surprisingly, because it would always remain current. As would "1-0 to the Burnalee" but that one's probably fallen out of favour due to its high 'naff rating'.

In a loud deep voice? Well known at the time
