What the hell was the wheelbarrow song all about ? Heard it for the first time at Highbury in the City end and thought I was still in an alcohol induced parallel universe from the night before
Notts County have also sung it for years, although slightly differently.
I remember hearing this in the 90s in the West Terrace on occasion.
I have a vague recollection of being in the west terrace and a couple of the women who worked in the bar (or somewhere) would walk along the side of the pitch, behind the goal. every match with about 10 mins to go. they’d get a load of ‘good humoured’ abuse…”who ate all the pies” etc without fail.
Then final game of the season they got a standing ovation.
I might have dreamt it all.

That sounds familiar tbh Terry, I don't think you've imagined it.
I think it was quite short lived, But I used to enjoy "Physio, Physio" surprisingly enough whenever the physio entered the field of play.
Going back to the JH days who remembers the two fans at away matches who used to stand on the perimeter wall facing the fans with their scarves round their heads like a turban and do a Hokus pokus Jimmy Hill chant false beards and all and had the fans doing allah style salutes.
And the little fella I think his name was Reg with a rasping loud voice, who used to get on a couple of lads shoulders always just before kick-off shouting give me a c, give me an o, give me a v and the whole fans would v sign the nearest coppers, when Coventry was spelt at the end the fans would chant City, City and end with the Sky Blue song also at away game.
Good old days.

I remember being at Wembley for the cup final, and the players came out bout an hour before the game for a walk on the pitch, and were greeted by 40k City faithful singing "there's only one Brian Borrows" in honour of our injured right back,
the players instantly responded by applauding the SBA
I swear that was the moment I knew we would win the cup.
I still get a stiffy now thinking about it.
............ I'll be back in a minute!

To save anyone else with my kind of brain the trouble:
Viktor Gyökeres
“Lukey” McNally
Kyle McFadzean
“Fabby” Tavares
Later used for Andy Blair as I recall, and given that Blair probably covered 3 times as much ground as Ernie, a bit more appropriate! And it rhymed.
I remember Cov fans giving Oldham fans in the pen on the Kop the old...
"Did you come in a taxi?" ...routine.
It did make me chuckle when they retorted....
"We came down on our skateboard."
I also remember Cyril Regis in his West Brom days having a banana chucked at him from the West End just before a WBA corner.
He nonchalantly bent over scooped it up, peeled it and ate it. Then gave the West End the thumbs up.

we also sang in bad taste "Kill Kill jimmy hill"
and when the ITV cameras came "Jimmy hill and BBC"
Linked to that and the cup run " Are you watching jimmy greaves"
then the leicester song "your mums your dad, your dads your mum, you're interbred and you're leicester scum"

We are blue we are white we are sky-blue dynamite !!! Not sure if we ever chanted that back in 80s?
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na Blues!
The old King song. Sang that for a while mid 80s.

I remember that think the story had just broke and the West End gave it to him all match non stop.
For the scoucers
In your Liverpool slums,
You look in the dustbin for something to eat,
You find a dead rat and you think it's a treat,
In your Liverpool slums,
In your Liverpool slums,
You s**t on the carpet, you p**s in the bath,
You finger your grandma, and think its a laugh,
In your Liverpool slums,
In your Liverpool slums,
You speak in an accent exceedingly rare,
You wear a pink tracksuit and have curly hair,
In your Liverpool slums,
In your Liverpool slums,
Your mum's on the game and your dad's in the nick,
You can't get a job 'cos you're too f***ing thick,
In your Liverpool slums
Gary Lineker, what a wanker, what a wanker, Gary Lineker what a wanker.
Just lost his job on match of the day, self centred prick.

It was a Liverpool song we nicked. The Liverpool fans used to sing that verse back to us
