Player chants

[Austinho]

As well as supporting Hibs, I also follow the fortunes of Manchester United.

United fans (well definitely their noisy away fans anyway) regularly chant about ex players, including the likes of Solskjaer, Giggs, Ronaldo, George Best, Cantona etc. They are club legends, and I love the way the fans still celebrate them even though they are long gone. Leeds also sing about Dominic Matteo scoring at the San Siro etc.

Which got me thinking it would be great to resurrect some of the chants from ex players and cult heroes. The simple 'Russell, Russell Latapy', and 'Sauzee! There's only one Sauzee' are classics from my childhood that I'd love to hear at Easter Road again.

'We've got Jones, always believe in Rob Jones' and 'He's here, he's there, he's every f***ing where. Ivan Sproule, Ivan Sproule' were always fun to sing too - especially the Jones one, which was none stop during the League Cup 07 win. I'll be doing my best in Copenhagen to get that one going ;)

I hope we never stop hearing Stokes on Fire, and the new David Gray one in years to come either. So what other good ones from the 90's, 80's and earlier have I missed that would be worthy of an airing?

Not Nineties but I'd kinda hoped for the Dominique Malonga song at the SC Final.

Keef, Keef, Keef and the Mickey Weir song would be my shouts.

I'm all for that but save it for The Heroes. And Le God. Latapy can take a run & jump.

Remember singing this at swiney a good few years ago

There's only 1 Barry Lavety
He puts the ball in the netty
Bashers his name
Rave is his game
And when he scores it's Hibees ecstasy

Wasn't the 3rd line ....

He loves his E's
And scores with ease
Walking in a Hibee wonderland

[Barman Stanton]

Oh Tommy Tommy, Tommy Tommy Tommy Tommy McIntyre.

They were all getting a good sing song in the pub before the final. But that Ivan song is surely Mikey Weir's! Prefer the we dream of a team of Ivan Sproules for him.

[Mibbes Aye]

Not Hibs or even that retro but the Christian Nade song is a fine component of the Hibernian canon and one that should be rolled out for showpiece occasions :agree:

[Smartie]

It was great when all the old songs got an airing on the last day on the old East.

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

Oh Houchey Houchey Houchey. Loved that.

[Pretty Boy]

The guy that writes a lot of the United songs is brilliant.

We really need a 'terrace' friendly song for the cup final team. Nothing too complicated and something everyone can join in with.

[Hibrandenburg]

Russell Latapey, you make me happy............

[Highland_Hibee]

Not sure who to credit with it but I've seen the 90+2 chant on the board that will be fun to ram down the throats of anyone who has sung 1902 at us.

Anyone care to write the full words to the Eck the boss song, heard it sung a few times but never knew the words? Thanks

The Neville Neville song would bring a tear to a glass eye, simple, touching and addictive all at the same time :)

Ecks the boss wi ginger hair
Franky Sauzee is the king
Arpinon wi Gaelic flare
Ule Laursen on the wing
John Oneil & Matty Jack
Smith & Fenwick at the back
Paco Luna in attack
And that will bring us back to Eck the boss

Repeat again

It would be great to hear an updated version, although it can be a bit of a mouthful.


Stubbs & Co. - The Engineers
Gray - to lift the Scottish Cup
Stokes - to score all by himself
Hen-der-son to set them up
Fyv-ie and the midfield four
Three Hibbies are at the core
Two upfront and then some more
And number one: big Conrad Logan

or

Lo - a bear, a polar bear
Gray - to win the Scottish Cup
Stokes - to score all by himself
Hen-der-son to set them up
Ste-ven-son, Darren, Hanlon (or Lew-is, Darren & Hanlon)
Dyl-an, John & Gunnarsson
Kea-tsy, Fyvie & Jason
Fontaine and back to Conrad Logan

or one or two verses including the goalscorers or players that played in the cup run.
A tough one to get going, but I liked the Eck the boss song.
