I'm hoping the fans will sing the authentic 60s songs before the game. The ones we sang for him back then were:-
(tune of Ay-ay-ay-ay Si Si Senora):
"Ay ay ay ay
Astle is better than Pele"
(tune of Camptown Races):
"The Brummie Road* will sing this song: Astle is our King
Astle is our King
Astle is our King
The Brummie Road will sing this song
Astle is our King"
* Substitute with The Smethwick End/ The East Stand Boys/ The Halfords Lane (depending where you're sitting!)
And the Astle family would love it if we sang:-
(to the tune of the "Love, Love, Love" bit in "All you Need is Love"):-
"Jeff As-tle
clap clap-clap-clap-clap"
(This was sung non-stop at the celebrations on Hyde Park Corner in May '68.)
What memories!
