I'd say 85% of PL clubs sing it tbh (I don't really care who started it neither) |

Edited for correctness.
The Thatto Heath reference was based upon the legendary inauguration ceremony at their club for new players in a game called "Freckles"

I seem to remember - and I hope I'm wrong - listening to a version of "The Mighty Quinn" at Central Park during the 1980s, except the lyrics were changed to the Mighty Wigan. Please tell me I'm wrong.
Oh, and also a song based on Mike Harding's Uncle Joe's Mintballs. Again, I'd like to believe its not true and its something I dreamt in fever-induced nightmare.

as the mighty quinn was a record by the group manfred man in the late 1960s.i think football and rl teams were using it for chant since then.
i sure i heard the chant on motd in the 60s with diffrent words for each team fans but i could be wrong and my age is playing tricks |

Yeah, but what I heard was a genuine recorded song playing through the crackly speakers at Central Park!

Again its originally a Celtic song.
All round the fields of central park
Where once we watched Eric Ashton play (and could he play)
Billy Boston on the wing, we had dreams and songs to sing
Of the glory round the fields of central park
Don't like it mainly cause scousers sing it.'"
I thought we sing that sporadically anyway? I think some people's football allegences get in the way of a particular song being sung by all (as evidenced by your final line  ) |

It's ridiculous, I have one United supporting mate who's refusing to do the "Poznan" because it's a City thing.
BTW, the Poznan is coming.

It started as a one man Poznan at Barrow, by Old Trafford there's going to be 40,000 Wiganers doing it.

Got to say, that it brilliant!
Let's have that one...
I don't follow this 'that's just copying and we need to make out own up' rubbish. If it's as good as that, let's get it ringing out! |

I'm sure someone posted a link to an MP3 of this five or six years ago. It wasn't very good quality but it was defo good enough to use as my ringtone at the time.  |
