Sumo was great. Really livened up many a dull match. Was that the last time we had decent half-time entertainment? Recent offerings have been a total embarrassment.

Imagine a big cow on wheels doing 51mph in the middle lane, “overtaking” another lorry doing 50mph in the left lane. Alternatively, look at this picture.

The American style penalty shoot-outs were excellent.
All said in jest. Calm down yer silly moo!

Classic that one. Was thinking of that when I started reading the thread.
Niiiiigel Spink took a bit of stick during our Bescot debut. The sarcastic Wayne Evans chant was similar.
“B@stard Man”?
He was always able to anticipate a lull in the crowd & then shouted “You b@stard referee”. Always made me giggle!

Can also remember loads of “Steeeveeeees” when I think keeper called Steve Mildenhall came and played at Bescot. He let in 5 for Southend in 2008 game (Ishy hatrick).

Wolfie? used to sit behind the goal with the mask of a wolf’s head on 
And mad kev who was a total nightmare, when he thought he was more popular than he actually was, turned into a proper prima donna, i’m surprised he didn’t start charging for autographs

There used to be a few giggles and a few “is that really his name” comments whenever Burnley played at Bescot in the 90s and the keeper was announced as Marlon Beresford. Apparently his mom was a big fan of Mr Brando.

Loved the one aimed at Dingle Ade Akinbiyi.
“Akinbiyi`s illegitimate, e aint got no birth certificate” then in slightly hushed tones, " Dirty Dingle Barsteward"

The idea of chanting the opposition goalie’s name over and over originates in North American ice hockey. If the away team’s netminder is having a mare, then a slow, intimidating chant of his name will start up. I don’t know the history of it though, I’ll look it up.

I miss singing every players name before the game
I remember a very un-PC one aimed at Jan Molby when we played Liverpool in the league cup at FP 
Was it the same one that was sang about Sammy Lee when he played for Liverpool😂
Don’t remember that song. The Molby one was just after him being spotted coming out of a night club frequented by men interested in other men. The other part of the song referred to his supposedly portly frame.
