Ronnie Webster.Peter Daniel.You couldn't write it now. And there never was a decent song for John O'Hare.Three legends of 71/75 that rarely get a squeak.

 

He's here, he's there, he's every fkin where

John O'Hare, John O'Hare.

 

Then he said in the DET that he didn't approve of swearing. 

 

So it became

 

He's here, he's there, he's asked us not to swear

John O'Hare, John O'Hare

"down by the light (by the light, by the light)

of the silvery moon,

na, na, na, na"

 

And back to the original thread, the oldest "song" I remeber is the "Dambuster's March". I remember it being revived when we played Plymouth in the quarter final of the FA cup, but it didn't last too long.

Zigga zagga zigga zagga Kevin Hector!!!!!

(not sure which came first, this, or his nickname "Zack")

 

Same time perhaps.

 

Peter Terson (a Stokie) wrote the play 'Zigger Zagger' in 1967 which featured it extensively, I reckon that the chant came from that (i.e. we stole it from the Potties). Kevin's nickname (Zac or Zak) - well, that came from trying to read his autograph, I believe, because it certainly didn't look anything like Kevin.

The 'We hate Nottingham Forest' song was penned by Prof (Tony) and Gem (Jeremy) Rogers on the Wheildons bus back in 1967 or 1968.

 

The 'proper' words were quite clever, but got bastardised over the years.

 

We hate Nottingham Forest,

We hate City too,

We hate 89 others

But Derby we love you

 

The 'City' bit was Leicester - it just scanned a little better as 'City'. The 89 others bit - well, of course there are 92 teams in the league and we didn't want anyone to feel left out.

 

So in answer to those who keep saying that Leicester were never our rivals - they were, you know - at least in song.

used to be great in the Columbo singing the name of the villages..... my favorite was S.P.O.N.D.O.N Spondon Spondon... and used to love singing Nether Heage, Nether Heage, Hether Heage.... happy days.

 

where did the silvery moon song come from?

 

White Christmas was always great around the festive period, but i do remember some racist versions of it sung around the place too...

 

 

It's a long way to Derby Station....it's a long way to go......

I'm not sure that's right Eddie, although Kevin did have a very distinctive autograph, largely illegible from memory.

In the mid 60's there was a TV programme on the BBC I think, called 'United'. Jimmy Hill had something to do with it. It was about a second division football team and I think was filmed at the Victoria Ground in Stoke. It was a very early 'footballers wives' type soap without any of the glamour/sex/money etc. it didn't last long.

In that programme there was a character called 'Zack' who was King Kevin like and that's where he got his name from.

Now you come to mention it, I think that you are 100% correct.
