Probably SEB but on the theme of the Elvis kit, when did we first start singing Wise Men Say?

I remember 95/96 promotion parade it was sung, but how far back does it go?

I remember it being sung at games for years before that. Joe Hart asked how long ‘Can’t help falling in love with you…’ has been associated with SAFC on last night’s Monday Night Club on 5 Live because he said he couldn’t remember it from games he’d played at the Stadium of Light. Regrettably, Paddy of Roker Report suggested it was a recent thing. Not meaning to hang Paddy out to dry as he could have been answering the question, ‘How long has this been part of what the club promotes on matchdays’, I guess - but I think this was just another example of KLD catching up on where supporters had been for years anyway?

I had a subscription to ‘Wise Men Say’ but can’t remember how long it is since that ended. Certainly, I bought WMS long before ALS came on the scene.

I created a mockup based on people's info from these threads then used AI to make it look realistic. I dislike AI but it is good for stuff like this. IGNORE

AI isn’t bad. It’s people who post absolute shite slop because they can’t prompt properly or its just a rubbish idea.’

But this is class! They simply have to do a Graceland photoshoot during the US visit

Rob Mason in one of this seasons or last seasons programmes said it was sung at an away game just after Elvis died(which was 1977).
Can’t remember what game it was off the top of my head.
I was only young in the 1980’s so cant really remember it being sung as much as it is now but that might be just my memory. Does anyone know if we sang it as much in the late 80’s and 90s?

Just found the programme( it was the opening game against West Ham)
Here is what it said

It is 48 years today since Elvis Presley passed away. Four days later Sunderland fans sang ‘Can’t Help Falling in Love With You’ for the first time in the opening match of the season at Hull City. The song took of big style in the next away game at Sheffield United and has since become an anthem that no doubt will be sung with great volume this afternoon

Gilesy and Steve posted what looked like real promos of the 3rd shirt.

Pink & Black with Wise Men Say around the collar. Europa League badge on the arm.

Then they deleted it.
