Phil Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 In soccer parlance they’re called “walk ons” so in our game we’ve got Hull FC - Old Faithful, HKR - The Red Red Robin, Hunslet - We’ve ploughed the seas before boys, St Helens - When the Saints go marching in, Leeds - Marching on Together. Any others current or historical?

Futtocks Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Cronulla have adapted Roll out the Barrel for their club song. Always good to work from an out-of-copyright original melody.

daz39 Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Huddersfield used to have 'Hurrah fro the Claret & Gold' but stoped using it some time in the 90's i think it was. Now we just have an annoying tune used by premiership football teams http://huddersfieldrlheritage.co.uk/Documents/Souvenir Brochures/Hurrah For The Claret & Gold.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiltshire Warrior Dragon Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Catalans Dragons use Els Segadors, the 'national' anthem of Catalonia as their club song. You cannot get much more stirring than that! Anthem of Catalonia (CA/EN lyrics) - Himne nacional de Catalunya - YouTube It's possibly worth remembering that Bernard Guasch's family were, I believe, refugees from Franco's Spain, so no doubt the affinity with all of Catalonia, on both sides of the French-Spanish border, runs strong and deep. Members of the London Catalan Choir sang it at Wembley before Les Dracs' success against the Wire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man of Kent Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 They all seem to have them in the NRL. The best ones are Easts Souths Cronulla Canberra All are pretty corny, even the better ones. Have to say Old Faithful is my favourite club song. Who would have thought a song - which must be about 100 years old - about a man’s love for his dying horse would endure. Do we know when it was first sung by Hull FC fans? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Faithful was written by Gene Autry in 1933 and 1st sung by Hull FC about Joe Oliver, who played for them 1928-37 and 1943-45, so must have been between 1933 and 1945.

BJW Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Let's play ball - AC/DC used by London Skolars (occasionally Sirius by Alan Parsons Project it is a long walk out!). Montpelier Red Devils used to play Highway to Hell by AC/DC as they came out and when they scored a try. This was quite amusing given the average age of their supporters last time I was there.

Bleedin awful bar the Sydney Roosters one which is decent. Aussies don’t do singing like here (or in football generally) and have to be prompted to “make some noise” (which you can hear on the PA system during NRL games). The best thing they did by a mile was a rendition of You’ll Never Walk Alone when Liverpool played at the MCG (topped this list). The best instrumental piece I’ve heard in person is a tie between the Champions League entrance music (which precedes the anthem itself) and Fanfare for Rocky at Old Trafford when I was in the Liverpool away section. The acoustics in a stadium make both sound incredible (need to listen on headphones to get the stadium like effect) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
