Old Forest Chants & Songs

[Duncan Mckenzie]

Six foot two, eyes are blue, Sammy Chapmans after you, la la la la la la la la la.

[Joe Baker Legend]

In Dublin's Fair City, where the Girls are so Pretty.
I first set my eyes on Sweet Molly Malone.
As she wheeled her Wheel Barrow, through street broad & narrow.
Cryingggggg
Joe, Joe, JOE-BAKER!!!
Joe, Joe, JOE-BAKER!!!

[Dog and Bear]

Zigger Zagger Zigger Zagger Joe Baker.

[Joe Baker Legend]

Whooa Me Lads, we're off to see the Aces
Going down the City Ground, to see John Carey`s Aces
All the Lads & Lasses, all the Smiling Faces
Gooiinng Down the City Ground, To see John Carey`s Aces

[Jasper Scarrott]

Duncan, Duncan, Duncan, Duncan born is the king of the City Ground.

[Joe Baker Legend]

Come all without, come all within
You ain't seen nothing like the mighty Jim
Come all without, come all within
You ain't seen nothing like the mighty Jim

The Mighty Jim Baxter, my memory of Jim is at Filbert Street, He came on ay Halftime, not long after that I was hit on the Head by a flying Coke Can (Full), very painful!

[King Joe]

Joe Baker Joe Baker is it true what the trent end sing you are our King oh yeah yeah.

[Joe Baker Legend]

Attack, Attack, Attacka Tak Tak

Remember this being sung constantly for what seemed like 10 minutes from the Trent End in its Heyday.

[King Joe]

We all agree Grummitt is better than Yashin Joe Baker is better than Eusebio and (any team) are in for a thrashing.

I've scoured youtube a bit but can't find that many/any older chants, having said that there will no doubt somewhere be out there but probably on a reel to reel in a loft.

Going back to the 60's, 50's and earlier how have game atmospheres changed, was there a time you feel the chants hit a peak, the all seaters and plastic and commercialism have obviously stunted this, I guess the peak for volume and passion and diversity of chants would be the 70s?

Yes, I agree with 60`s & 70 `s, also during this period, there was many a Toilet Roll thrown streaming onto the pitch.
Too expensive nowadays to do that, plus you would never get away with it.
