What's the first chant that sticks in your head from Alty matches, could be a generic one or an obscure one.

For me it's:

"we all agree, that Hughes is better than Timmons"

Would that be Mark Hughes coming in to replace John Timmons after the star striker had left?

[bighairedmike]

Half a pound of tupenny rice, half a pound of treacle. That's the way the money goes, I shagged your gran. Heard that aged 6 or so and have never forgotten it.

Apart from that... ZIGGER ZAGGER ZIGGER ZAGGER!

[York Alty]

She wore, she wore a scarlet ribbon in the merry month of May etc...

eeeeh, them were the days.

Didn't Timmons sign for Macc after he left us? Was probably in one of the derby games just after.

I LOVED THAT ONE!

Earliest song I can remember is:

"Nicky Nicky Nicky Daws, Nicky Daws, Nicky Daws, Nicky Nicky Nicky Daws, Nicky Nicky Daws!"

[brian1925]

From the season we almost got promoted into the FL
To Harvey Lim, the Kettering Town keeper, "You can stick your sweet and sour up your a***" x2 (probably considered a bit racist now, but v funny at the time)
"Are you Merthyr in disguise" x2 to Barry Fry's Barnet once the 4th goal went in (a week after we scored 9 v Merthyr)
And of course the very great, "Zigger Zagger Zigger Zagger" courtesy of Kenny
So many great chants I can recall from my early days following Alty

[Jezza]

fourth division RUBBISH! or zigger zagger zigger zagger......one of the two...

[York Alty]

I remember "you can shove the football league up your arse" after one of the votes went against us.

[B. 4D]

Bertie Mee said to Joe Harvey,
Have you here'd of the north bank Highbury,
Joe said NO I don' think so, but I've here'd of the golf road Enders

[Derek Stubbs]

[thegazelle]

i think i can confidently claim the royalties on fourth division rubbish and you can stick the football league up the arse


i suppose for me it had to be kenny's zigger ziggar

some that stick in the mind

with the sC**thorpe fans on one side of fthe gold road and the alty fans two feet away with one policeman looking on a tense atmosphere . sC**thorpe fans "there's only one united'' alty fans coutesy of (jed tootill i think) "and thats a chocolate biscuit" . it diffused the atmosphere for about 5 minutes but you may have to be old to understand that. There was something about sh*tting yourself and watching football.

i always loved the one where we taunted the keeper as heathcote lined a freekick up with different people shouting top left or top right . the winsford keeper held his hands in dismay when it went right in the top left corner just turned and glared to much hilarity

and who can forget celtic rangers celtic rangers

fourth division RUBBISH! or zigger zagger zigger zagger......one of the two...

Have to concur with both of those selections.

As for chants personalised for Alty players, I recall the 1970s as being simpler times:

"Jeff, Jeff, Jeff John-son!" perhaps?

Or cries of "Heath-cote, Heath-cote" whenever we were awarded a free kick on the edge of our opponents' penalty area.

A particularly bad foul on any Alty player other than our bearded captain customarily elicited the response of "Kingy's gonna get you!"

And then there was that time-honoured favourite from the late 1970s until the mid-1980s of "Slob, Slob, Slob, Slob" directed at our old friend Dave Ryan during his annoyingly impressive tenure as the Vics' goalkeeper.

Was that last one another composition courtesy of the gazelle?
