Chants or songs that never took off

Just finished reading Keith Peacock's book "No Substitute". One of the many anecdotes in it tells of Hermann Hreidarsson getting a nasty head wound stitched up (Vs Birmingham apparently). It reminded me of the Pre season game at Welling where for a while his name was sung to the tune of the Pink Panther theme. It never took off, neither did the chant of Mark Kinsella's name to the Macarena.
I personally think these two chants were better, and certainly more imaginative than the ones that eventually were used for these two players, anybody got any others that never took off?

    Heard a couple of chants of "Iain Dowie's red and white army". Fortunately he'd gone before it had a chance to gain popularity.

    My brother came up with a chant for Brendon O'Connell, based on the "Hava Nagila" bar mitzvah tune, we never had the balls to air that one in public!

    That one was sung a bit, so not a complete flop! I'm trying to remember which song was his main song, was it the 'Who's that scoring goals' one? And did all his chants call him Johnny rather than John?

    I always thought that was a brilliant chant, even if several years later we learnt that his name wasn't pronounced that way!
  • eldavideeldavide
    Yeah remember whos that scoring goals, particularly at away games, sadly his main chant was the bland
    Oh Johnny Johnny!
    Johnny Johnny Johnny
    Robinson!!

    The Macarena one stopped when it was announced his name was not pronounced Kin-seller but KIns-sullar. (Sorry that comes out ok phonetically )

    My post from a couple of years back

    "Oh, score a goal Johnny Robinson, we all love you more than you could know, oh oh oh.

    It's up you to Johnny Robinson, to put the ball in the back of the net, you haven't yet...



    Unless this was also used for Martin in the 70s, I'm pretty sure I made this up and sang it first at Barnsley away, the game before we returned to The Valley? The second verse wasn't really sung though which is not surprising."

    People still remember it, great!
  • raddickleraddickle
    I seem to remember back in the early 70's the club ran a competition for the fans to come up with a song for he team. The winning song was to the the tune of the Lambeth Walk. It went something along the lines of:

    Lets cheer Charlton hip hooray
    Lets cheer Charlton all the way
    They'll beat them all
    Playing he best football
    Hey!

    It understandably died a death.
