Читать книгу Shall We Sing a Song For You? - Alex Shaw - Страница 18

No, nothing to do with some old bloke and a farm. This is a rather new one that sprung up around Football League grounds in the 2008/09 season. First heard at Leicester City’s Walkers Stadium as early as September 2008, Foxes fans were optimistic about their team’s chances of getting promoted. How right they were.

E-i-e-i-e-i-o! Up the Football League we go!

When we get promotion

This is what we’ll sing:

‘We are champions!’

‘We are champions!’

Nigel Pearson’s king!

[This clearly caught on and was heard up and down the country throughout the season, so just replace Nigel Pearson’s name with the name of your club’s manager.]
