| "Hooray! The government have given football fans their permission to go to football stadiums again!" |
So to celebrate the return of football fans to stadiums, this week the Charles Fudgemuffin blog takes a look at some of the amusing chants sung by football supporters in the days before governments got to decide whether supporters were allowed into grounds...
1) After signing Brazilian winger Richarlison, Everton fans came up with a song in honour of their new signing (sang to the tune of She's Electric by Oasis):
"He's Brazilian. He only cost £50 million, and we think he's *cough cough* brilliant. Richarlison."
2) Leeds United fans came up with a twist on ‘You've Lost That Loving Feeling’ when they played Coventry City who had just sold Peter Ndlovu and Noel Whelan:
“You've lost Ndlovu and Whelan. Oh, Ndlovu and Whelan. You've lost Ndlovu and Whelan. Now they're gone, gone, gone, woah-oh-woah...”
