Does he not shout that for the Jordan/Pejic goal there too?

That's cos it was an England player putting it in 😂
Fair do's though, I never noticed that before. I was at the game but I've never seen those highlights except with the Scottish commentator we got that night who was probably Archie.

:lol: 

The bit of his football commentary I remember best was the cursory "Jordan: One - nil" when we took the lead against Peru.  

Mind you, that probably reflected less on his being English, than on the fact that like most people, he thought it was simply starting off a fairly comfortable cruise to an opening victory.

During lockdown I've been watching some of the old football from 70s and 80s being shown by Sky, BT Sport etc. You'll Never Walk Alone seems to be sung during quite a lot of matches involving various teams.

It was. It's only in more recent times that it became uniquely associated with Liverpool down south and Celtic up here. If my memory serves me right Hail,Hail used to be sung by different teams too.

Is the one at the top East End Park?

 

That had me wondering too. In my time the shelter at the town end was never that small. Also it looks as if the dressing rooms are in the middle.1359203504_Untitled(3)(3).thumb.jpg.3f4fd974aa90a4fa9e7f87ce55933f83.jpg

I remember once there was a football chants round on an old Question of Sport and they played a bit of "Hail, hail" and John Parrott got it straight away saying it was "the Everton song". I'd only ever heard Celtic associated with it, but apparently it used to be a common song all round the UK and that Everton and Celtic argue about who it "really" belongs to.

Accrington Stanley in 1955/56. The last EFL team to field an all-Scots XI in a league game, a 1-1 draw at Rochdale. Only Sunderland had done it before in the twentieth century (1902) and it hasn’t been done since.

Scots were prominent in Stanley teams of that era.

Picture from Springburn from what I imagine is late 60s / early 70s, the lad in the front is in a West Ham shirt, and it's obviously a Scotland shirt behind him, with a Rangers tip behind that. 

Just wondering if anyone knows the other shirts, could just be generic. 

May even be some P&B relatives!

I can remember the Somerset Road End singing Ynwa in the mid 80's. Co.plete with raised scarves. 

Meadowbank Brake Club used to sing YNWA by raising their arms in the air but keeping their scarves round their necks to take the piss. 

Used to do the same thing with the Hearts "blizzard" to the tune of "Hey Jude". I always thought without scarves we were making wanking gestures at the opposition. Probably were!
