Hate Leicester chant

[andysafc24]

Anyone remember why we hated Leicester
I think it was around the 80’s with a chant like....

We hate Man Utd, we hate Liverpool too and Leicester, we hate Nottingham Forest but Sunderland we love you.

I remember the ‘and Leicester’ was added with some venom.

Forest and Man Utd wrong way round?

The mags sing it too. I noticed when they got smashed 5-0 the other week on sky. Same lyrics too...maybe not but sounded like it

Could be, it was awhile ago

They sang... Sunderland we love you? Wow.

That’s possibly why I said maybe not. Wow

My recollection (might well be wrong) was that it was added the day of the Liverpool v Leicester FA Cup Semi in 1974.
Back then there would often be alternative chanting of teams involved in high profile games elsewhere. Everyone remembers Celtic - Rangers but there were others such as cup semis and (how times have changed) Oxford - Cambridge on Boat Race day.

Two short syllables and they were in the same division ...

i’m sure it was a common song back in the day,with a few slight variations for different clubs fans...don’t really think the ‘and leicester’ meant anything...it just fit.

Not unless you mean the 1912 or 1921 strikes. The song was being sunk way before the strikes in the early 1980’s.

Is I suspect the right answer!

 

[gipetto]

This was still being sung a few years ago, seems to have been forgotten.

Long before that, this was chanted in the 70’s and if I’m correct the “and Leicester” was used to fit the chant and no other reason.

Followed by “all together now ...”

Sure Leeds used to sing it with the exact same lyrics (with Leeds instead of Sunderland, obvs)
