Old songs from the past

Post by TheOne2Smooth »

ok people I know there are some supporters out there who remember the old chants of the 70's 80's and even the early 90's.
alot have been forgotten and some make a rare appearance on a odd away trip everynow and then. Do you remember any songs you liked and
could be reused here are 3 to start things off

We had joy, we had fun
we had Tottenham on the run
but the fun didn't last
because the bastards ran to fast

or

we are the Arsenal the kings of the south
we hate the Tottenham because they are all mouth
we took the shelf the shelf was fuck all
the cannon will fire and the cockrel will falll
la la la la la la la Arsenal

and surely every one remembers the King of Highbury chant?

Brady, Brady
born to be the king,
of Highbury

Maybe we can sing Kolo instead? and Highbury can be changed to Ashburton? let me know what you think

Wasn't that song for Charlie (George)? (Born is the ki-ing of Hi-i-ighbury).

Fair enough. My Dad gets drunk and does the same (but with Charlie, as opposed to Brady).

Anyway, it's an awesome song but can't see it coming back as I don't see anyone worthy of it (apart from Kolo and Cesc) and they wouldn't be kings of Highbury anyway.

Nice idea though.

You never saw Perry play?? mind you I dont think anyone remembers Perry playing just wearing shirts from 2-14 (minus the unlucky 13)
I remember Perry being on a Hat trick once cant remember who against but he shot on sight to get he's 3rd sadly he only had a brace that day
