Old Forest Chants & Songs

[Duncan Mckenzie]

Those were the days my friend, when we'd go down the Trent End.
We'd sing and dance, for ever and a day.
We'd see Joe Baker score and Ian Storey Moore.
Those were the days, oh yes those were the days.

^ Brilliant ^

Oh Nottingham is full of fun, Nottingham is full of fun.
its full of tits, fanny and Forest, Nottingham is full of fun.

We are the pride of the Midlands,
The c**k of the north,
We hate the scousers
And geordies of course,
We all drink whisky
And shipo's nut brown,
The forest boys are in town,
LA la la la la la la la

[Jasper Scarrott]

Oh I do like to be beside the seaside,
Oh I do like to be beside the sea,
Oh I do like to stroll down the prom prom prom,
Where the brass band plays f**k off West Brom.

:D  Haven't heard that one for a few years.

Bertie Mee said to Bill Shankly have you heard of the North Bank Highbury, Bill said no I don't think so but I've heard of the Trent End Boot Boys.

This has been my personal favourite for many years. First heard it in late teens from some original boot boys who we got to know as we started our nights out at The Nav, next door to The Irish. They had some great stories. They seemed really old to us, but one night a bunch of gobby Uni students, mostly Southerners kicked off with them (something to do with the pool table as I recall). They were outnumbered and there were four of us sat at a table by the window which overlooks canal. We decided we should add numbers to even things up. By time we stood up and were on our way over it was all done. Total carnage, but very quick! (Landlord a bit peed off due to a broken window). They thought it was really funny that we had thought they would need our help. Cracking blokes though.

Remember being regaled - on the trip over to Munich - with a song about Wally Ardron & his goal scoring exploits.
The guy was significantly older than me & so I don’t expect anyone to know the words (I certainly can’t remember) - but then again?

A bit random I know, but I umpired in an U13 Cricket match between 2 MCC hubs in Sussex and a kid came on to bowl (leg spin i think). His name was shouted to the scorers as Ardron. I asked the obvious and it turned out his Great Grandad was indeed the great Wally.

This is for the older ones...

You are going home like Sandy Richardson (cringe).

For people who perhaps are too young or don't know this song...

Sandy Richardson was a wheelchair bound actor who used to play in a series called Crossroads that was filmed in Birmingham.

So when a team from the Birmingham area used to visit the City Ground the Forest fans would chant 'You are going home like Sandy Richardson'.

Sniffer you are right, it is cringeworthy.

Forest boys we are here woooah, woooah,
Forest boys we are here woooah, woooah,
Forest boys we are here, shag your women and drink your beer... woooooooah.

A Forest Classic.

Love that.

I always found the following song a strange one:

Ian, Ian Bowyer, Ian Bowyer on the wing, Ian, Ian Bowyer, Ian Bowyer on the wing.

As most of us will know, Ian Bowyer played in the center of midfield, not on the wing!

I also found it bizarre  :dodgy:

Build a bonfire build a bonfire,

Put Derby on the top.

Put Leicester in the middle and burn the f*****g lot.

Brian Clough, Brian Clough riding through the glen, Brian Clough. Brian Clough with his band of men,
Stoney on the right,
Woany on the left,
Brian Clough, Brian Clough, Brian Clough.
