Yeah, Radio Lancs hammered Porcelain for about 15 years.

Jimmy Mullens Claret n Blue army (clap clap clap clap)

The original. His name fit perfectly with it, just the right amount of syllables and flow when sung at the appropriate tempo.

Jimmy Mullen will forever be the only managers name that can be properly sung before ‘claret and blue army’.

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!

Can you imagine "When you're smiling" being sung these days.

Hands would be in the air halfway through the first line.

It should make a comeback though along with "once I saw a ******* fan"
