We had joy

we had fun

We had Burnley on the run

But the joy didn't last as the ba**ards ran too fast.

Leyland blues we are here whoaaa

Leyland blues we are here whoaaa

Leyland blues we are here, s**g your women, and drink your beer

whoaaa

whoaaa

whoaaa...............burp

[JC4LAB]

Tonights song about the bin dippers .. Look in a dustbin for something to eat

and You never walk alone used to become Sign on Sign on...

[sambo]

Thought it was 'If I had the wings of an eagle'.

Never heard 'Angel' sung in place of 'eagle' like someone suggested earlier?

[A cup of beans]

Fanstic song!

Loved that song!

[Gav]

Or was it Debs and brother John? Could that have been the year Debs and Gav got it together? It's got a lot to answer for that season - me and Bob got married at the end of it!

Ahh the memories, you’re right it was John that started the Sebastian Perez song in The Albion, he later got ‘lost’ ended up ‘talking’ to the ladyboys of Lyon and got mugged

Happy days

[Gav]

I was born in the Blackburn End

I was born in the Blackburn End

Knives are made for stabbing

Guns are made to shoot

If you come in the Blackburn End we'll all stick in the boot

On the trip to Bulgaria when we played CSKA Sofia we ended up having the usual sing song in an Irish bar I think the night before the game. After many hours of drinking, Waggy had fallen asleep on the bar (He was last seen drinking pints of vodka), and never batted an eyelid whilst the rest of us danced on the tables singing Rovers songs.

Then came:

“Waggy Waggy give us a sing”

And he raised his head from the bar and sang the song above, legend

Nowt like European away games.

I always remember it as angel. Blackburn ender since 1969.

[Mike Graham]

He shot

He missed

He must be f***ing pi***d

Cracking night out Gav. I was in the same bar and singing along with Waggy.

[sambo]

I always remember it as angel. Blackburn ender since 1969.

Ahh weird. We're the only team to sing 'angel', and a quick google search shows a lot of Rovers websites to call it 'eagle'.

Not arguing though, I was genuinely unsure - it isn't sung much anymore.

[waggy]

hello hello we are the blackburn boys

again

and if you are a burnley fan,surrender or you die.

we will follow the rovers.

all time favourite.

LIEGHTON JAMES IS A HOMOSEXUAL,

THIS THUNDERED DOWN FROM THE TERRACES AT THE TURF WHEN JAMES CAME BACK TO PLAY FOR THEM,

then he proved us all wrong when he was manager of morecambe,ran of with the pie lady.

[sardblue]

What about this one

In an old Burnley pub which I used to frequent

I met Brian Miller his money was spent.

He asked me to play,I answered him nay,

cause i`ll hate Burnley barstewards till my dying day.

Noooooo naaaaaay neverrrrrrrr.........

[bradeagle]

May favorite was walking in a Shearer wonderland, the worst was Bohenan! Bohenan - cant remember how his name was spelt

[ross-shire rover]

to the tune of Land of Hope and Glory

we hate Nottingham Forest

we hate Liverpool too

we hate Manchester United

but Rovers we love you

Showing my age on that one. That's when Forest were good !

And here's another nice clean one circa 1960

Who remembers the guy who used to lead the singing from the pitch at the Darwen End then he'd come round to us kids sitting over the wall in front of the old Enclosure.

1-2-3-4

who do you think we're shouting for

R-O-V-E-R-S Rovers

Then we'd get the old rattles going

Happy Days !

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

Can't remember the start but it ended-

"As long as we've got Fergie we don't give a **** about Burnley"

Sung in the mid to late 1960's to the tune of " Strolling "

[because of boxing day]

From mid 60s to early 70s

"we've got Eamonn Eamonn Eamonn Rogers on the wing,on the wing.

Eamonn, Eamonn Rogers, Eamonn Rogers on the wi..ing

Eamonn, Eamonn Rogers, Eamonn Rogers on the wing"

[JAL]

1-2-3-4

who do you think we're shouting for

R-O-V-E-R-S Rovers

Happy Days !

Or the

1-2-3-4

listen to the skinheads roar

we want our hair back.

Or

Where was the goalie when the ball was in the net.

oh, where was the goalie when the ball was in the net

He was half way round a goal post

with his knickers round his neck!

[bob fleming]

"First Division here we come, right back where we started from, open up those Golden Gates, First Division here we come."

[Jock]

"First Division here we come, right back where we started from, open up those Golden Gates, First Division here we come."

Thats one for the Wigan match.

[Jock]

To the tune of 'The Lord of the Dance'

Steve Kean wherever you maybe

Your halfway to lunacy

We dont give a feck if your hanging from a tree

Your a lying sCUNThorpe with H.I.V.

Not an old song but could be sung by Rovers fans for decades to come, if we still exist.

[Tom]

When we had Roy Wegerle I seem to remember:

Clap your hands

Stamp your feet

Wiggle your fingers

Also although I don't remember him as a player I remember the 'BEAMO BEAMO BEAMO' chants whenever someone skied a shot

[Mike E]

Assume this is an appropriate thread for a new suggestion? To the tune of 'Thats why they call it the blues' by Elton John. Can only come up with a chorus, but maybe that will suffice?

'I guess that's why they call us The Blues.

Always immennnnse when we cheer or boo!

Uncle Jack built us

Not bothered about others

We are from Blackburn

We are the Rooooo-verrrrs

And I guess that's why they call us The Blues!'

I'm sure there are better versions to be had, mind.

[wellesbourne]

Eeh aye eeh aye eeh aye o,

Up the football league we go,

When we win promotion

This is what we sign.

We are the Rovers, we are the Rovers Kenny is our King.

Or more appropriately

Eeh aye eeh aye eeh aye o,

Down the championship we go,

When we're relegated

This is what we'll sing

We hate Venky's, we hate Venky's

F*** off Stevie Kean

[muhammed.magic]

clap clap clap clap clap clap clap Rovers!

[Greedy_Crawford]

clap clap clap clap clap clap clap Rovers!

clap clap clap clap clap clap clap Rovers!

Its past your bedtime. You've got a busy day at nursery tomorrow, especially as they are teaching you how to use a spoon tomorrow
