Charlton Aggro song

Vincenzo

A neighbour (Arsenal unfortunately) told me he went to The Valley occasionally in the 70s and recalled this song from one particular match. It was news to me. Anyone remember it?

Said Bertie Mee
To Bill Shankly
"Have you heard of the North Bank, Highbury ?"
Shanks said "No,
I don't think so,
But I've heard of the Charlton aggro

Covered End

Yes

My dad sings stuff like this all the time, him and his brother used to be proper Charlton aggro in his teens (mid to late seventies) even got led around the pitch at a game to chants of 'Charlton aggro, Charlton aggro, oooh ohh ooohh ohh!' When they decided to have a fight in the middle of the away fans on the famous valley terraces 'for a laugh'

It ended something like,
We walk with a wiggle, and we walk with w*nk,
We took the Arsenal, North Bank.

They don't write 'em like that anymore :-)

My contribution to this intelligent debate:

We hate Andy Pandy
And we hate Bill and Den
We hate Ken Dodd and his diddy men
We dont give a toss
And we dont give a wank
Cos we took the Arsenal North Bank

_MrDick

So many songs from that era...

We are the boys in Red n White
We love to sing and we love to fight
so let's fight,
Let's fight

(To the tune of 'let's dance')

The question used to be: "Who's up Mary Brown?" - and the answer was: "Tommy, Tommy Docherty..."

`Come and have a go at the Charlton aggro'
to any away fans who headed towards the Covered end.

Other songs which my granny used to sing when she tucked me into bed at night-
"Come on if you think you're hard enough"
"You're leaving in a London ambulance"
"You're gonna get you're ****ing heads kicked in"
Now she only sings me "Red Red Robin", and it doesn't get me off to sleep at all.

One chant that I remember which I could never work out was
Mars Bars, Beanos and Ray Tracey

Terry Naylor

I know a friendly copper his name is PC Jim........

Zigger-zagger, zigger-zagger, oi, oi, oi! And the guy with the hoarse voice, leading the chant-and-response: "Give us a Cee-ee-ee-ee", "Cee-ee-ee-ee"; "Ay-ay-ay-aitch", "Ay-ay-ay-aitch"....
