Donald Ford is Illegimate

[Dashing Bob S]

Any older chaps recall that ditty? As a child I remember my solitary Hibs supporting uncle (I have fondness for him as he was the only one who never interfered with me - Jambo household) singing this loudly, a can of red McEwans Export in his hand.

Ring any bells? It questioned the parentage of the Linlithgiw chartered accountant turned wedding photographer who is by all accounts actually a decent sort.

In the early 80s does anyone remember the anti Huns songs - one beginning with "glory glory what a helluva way to die ... " and the other one " die , die , die , die ya Hun ...

And was the Donald Ford one:

There were a few names to that song. Due a comeback?

[EastThomasSTboy]

The "Die, Die, Die. Die ya Hun" was a 60s Ditty, that we happily sang, based on the Mary Hopkin tune of that era,.."those were the days"

Used to sing many ditties based on the pop charts of the day.

My favourite based on the Deep Purple song' Na, Na, Na, Na,..... Na , na, na, na, nananana...Mental - Hiibees!!"

Happy Days.

[LithgaeHibby]

I don't think we do individual abuse as well as we used to. Some used to get it so tight from the East Terracing that they daren't come anywhere near that touchline. Particular recollections of mine from the 80s and 90s involve Souness, Gough, Peter Grant, Robbo, Galloway and Fulton where basically the entire terracing would join in a deafening chant of whatever abuse was being meted out. Things are more sanitised now. Having said that, much enjoyed the FF upper's rendition of the Tony Mowbray and Mark Venus retro chant aimed at Craig Levein on Tuesday night - lasted a good long time!

[Keith_M]

As a skinny early teen, surrounded by other skinny teens, I remember standing on our usual spot on the old (uncovered) East Terrace, level with the half-way line, singing along to "Come on have a go, with the Hi-bess, agg-gr-ro", to roughly 6-7,000 Old Firm Fans in the Dunbar End.

Ah, memories. The tunes was "John Brown's Body", right?

Three or four choruses of that, followed by a spirited rendering of "For we're off to Dublin in the green ...."

And everyone was primed for a riot.

Happy sectarian days. But I really don't think I want them back, TBH.

I do miss "Go home ya Huns ..." though.

And the chant that used to start in the old Main Stand - "Gerrintaethum (clap,clap - clap,clap)" - louder and louder and louder. Scary.

So simple - and everybody joined in.

Returning to the original topic, wasn’t Donald Ford a smart cookie? A lawyer or an accountant or similar? He also sat on the ball at Ibrox to waste time when leading against The Football Club Formerly Known As Rangers.

That song was copied from The Celtc song about The Coronation Cup. The final lines were, Celts met Hibs in the final & lo & behold, all Hampden was covered in green, white & gold. Much though I dislike Celtc it's an excellent & unique song.

[brog]

NEVER scored a goal against us though.

Pretty sure Ford did score 1 against us. Think it was a New Year game & he scored down the slope very early on. Got a memory of a Hibs player slipping. IIRC however we were ahead by half time & comfortably won 3-1.

Was shot by a Black and Tan gun BlacknTan Gun Easter Road version . Was belted out hundreds of times in the Cave and at away games in 60s , 70s and early 80s . I wouldn`t include it as an occasional chant like others mentioned on this thread . It was the predecessor of GGTTH and SOL as unofficial Hibs anthem .

Yep, he did. I can be excused forgetting that one as my daughter was born the night before & I had no sleep before heading to PBS. He did also score in the next game though which was the 3-1 win for us I referred to in my OP. Jings he was prolific,scored 2 against us in his career.

Due to the fact he couldn't score against us at that time, think he managed one in his career.

:agree:

One of my best pals, who sadly passed away nearly 8 years ago, was a Celtc fan and would always sing the Coronation Cup song once he'd had a couple of sherbets. So much so that i gave him my copy of the CC final program, that i got from my mum who had been at the game, for his 30th birthday. His oldest lad now has it.
It's pretty much etched in my memory because of my mate (i even sang it at his wake) and you're right it is one of the more elaborate and well constructed songs of it's kind.

Said Lizzie to Philip as they sat to dine.
I've just had a letter from a dear friend of mine
His name is big Geordie
He's loyal and true
And his nose is my favourite colour of blue

He said that the rangers are right on their game
Lets send up a trophy to add to their fame
Let's send up a trophy the rangers can win
Said Philip watch out that the Celts dont step in

Said Lizzie to Philip they dont stand a chance
I'll send up my Gunners to lead them a dance
With the celtc defeated
The way will be clear
And a cup for the rangers in my crowning year

But alas for the hopes of our chinas in blue
The celts beat the arsenal and the manchester too
With Hibs in the final
Lo and behold
All Hampden was covered in green white and gold (too ra loo...too ra loo. All Hampden was covered in green white and gold)

Said Lizzie to Philip have you heard the news
A blow has been struck to my loyal true blues
So tell me dear Philip
For you are to know
How can we beat celtc and send them below

Said Philip to Lizzie i know of no way
For the celts have won cups now for many a day
To beat glasgow celtc
You'll have to deport
All the bold fenian irish who give them support

One of Eddie Turnbull's more bizarre moves. We played Airdrie 4 times in 72/73 season, scored 19 goals & then signed their keeper, Roddy McKenzie! Roddy played in the 4-1 defeat, had a shocker, hardly played after that & was gone at the end of the season!

[scm70nyd1973]

Loved the “we’ll meet again don’t know where don’t know when ...” sung to the ‘relegated’ fans near to the end of the season.

One of my fave chants was at Parkhead - last game of the season - Soapdodgers needed 3 pts to get into Europe - we were just there to hand them over it seemed to the press - seem to recall we went 2 nil up early doors (McGinlay and Evans ?) - we sang “always look on the bright side of life” to them for just about the whole game - I think it finished 2-1 - loved last games of the season - went to one at ER circa early May 1986 - that was a hoot !

I should start s thread for the best last games of the season - apart from the obvious a Hibs v Dundee match involving a Finish bird springs to mind as one of the best !

Forgot about the game at Castle Greyskull - Brian Rice trundler and a Colin Harris effort as well - maybe 1985 - for last 20 mins sang “your so shoyte it’s inbelievable” there were only about 15,000 huns in the ground and that was before we went 2 up - still it was very enjoyable singing that song constantly to them - they weren’t best pleased it has to be said !

Classic old skool chant - but game never actually happened - so for me lacks a bit of quality ...

There are still the odd borderline songs - Stokeseys Dad?

Maybe not so much in the ground but in the pubs.
