Son of my Father

[Jack Ford]

Sung by the mackem hoardes at Wembley 1973.

True or false

Beats drums anyhow

 

[My Boy Harry]

Brilliant record. Takes me back to some great times.

 

[T_Bone]

Oh Rodney Rodney.......

Can you confirm we sung it at Wemberley in '73. ? Albeit to different words??

 

[Laidback Jack]

Used by just about every team in the country for a chant now.

Unfortunately I can’t confirm that. Someone will know better than me.

 

[Billy Fish]

Electro rock at It's best

 

[SpiritofBurnden]

We sang a version with the words 'Oh Sammy Allardyce' back then.

 

[Jack Ford]

Unfortunately I can’t confirm that. Someone will know better than me.

Wasn't there either unfortunately

Ive heard it was sung (not throughout) on very good authority

But looking for clarification from lads who were there

Im thinking of starting a chant off in east stand with same wemberley words to blank out any drums that are introduced

 

[Paint your wagon]

We sang ‘you’ll never walk alone’ after the final whistle.

 

[Wearson]

Great single by the Tip definitely sung re Rodney Marsh v City , but I can’t recall different words being used at Wembley, sorry .

Not talking about final whistle mate. Talking about sometime throughout match?

 

[Sneech]

Oh Rodney Rodney.......

It was Nicky Pickering in my day

 

[Wildfire]

It was Nicky Pickering in my day

First time I heard it was for Peter Davenport

No it wasn’t sung, fairly certain. Can’t think of any of those players having their name sung to it.

Good Grief, Christina....

Ta for reply mate. Lad I was speaking to was adamant it was, if only once. Just give it a couple of days to see what others say

 

[lurker]

Hate it when people sing the Tommy Sorenson chant and some arsehole tries to change it to Robinson.

This sounds right.

The City fans used to sing “Oh Rodney, Rodney! Rodney, Rodney, Rodney, Rodney, Rodney Marsh!”.

We changed it to “Oh Rodney, Rodney! Rodney, Rodney, Rodney, Rodney Shithouse Marsh!”.

I remember watching the ITV highlights when I got home after the replay and Gerald Sinstadt, who had been brought up from Manchester to commentate didn’t pick the change up and said that the Sunderland fans were recognising his talent...
