I sang it in the school choir (aww…shucks) at South Shields Grammar Technical School….ahh the fame of three consecutive nights performing to all on Parent’s Evenings.
It was a simpler time….

Surely for the Derby the Tifo should be a black cat with a magpie in it's mouth

It's in Sunderland.
A song about the Lambton family and the river wear isn’t particularly Mackem ?

I’m thinking a mining / ship building / football club history one with “a proud city and club which has never sold its soul”

I was told this as a kid
That would be fantastic
Who does these tifo by the way ???
They really are fantastic
The motto under the tifo is from this by Walter Wintle:
If you think you are beaten, you are
If you think you dare not, you don't,
If you like to win, but you think you can't
It is almost certain you won't.
If you think you'll lose, you're lost
For out of the world we find,
Success begins with a fellow's will
It's all in the state of mind.
If you think you are outclassed, you are
You've got to think high to rise,
You've got to be sure of yourself before
You can ever win a prize.
Life's battles don't always go
To the stronger or faster man,
But soon or late the man who wins
Is the man WHO THINKS HE CAN!

Back in the day JFK primary in washy used to have a 3d mural in the hall of Sunderland landmarks. Massive penshaw monument with the worm wrapped around it. Earliest memories. Epic.

I agree. It was brilliant. Don't care what the haters think.

From this point onward, anyone from Durham supporting the mags should be known as the worms.

Thought the same
Love it the club has found it’s identity again literally brings tears to my eyes, them up the road saw money and claim they got their club back for no other reason than that, money. We really do have our club back through clever planning a lot of hard a work, faith in youth and our academy (bit of luck of course) but most importantly the club had a vision stuck with that vision and rode out the mistakes and criticism it’s beautiful to see,
Ha’way the Lads!
