Oooh it’s a monkey, Ooooh it’s a monkey?
When the opposing keeper walked towards the Cowshed to take up position the shed would start applauding him as he approached. The keeper would look pleasantly surprised and would normally start clapping back in return only for the Ooooh it’s a monkey chant to begin!

Remember the shed always applauding the keepers but not the chant.
The Mellor thing is written in folklore now. Funny.
I’m sure I was in there that day but it might be a bit like the Man City 10-1.
Wonder if Peter Mellor remembers it?
It seems that he is alive and kicking and living in the states.

Am I imagining this? Peter Knowles of Wolves (circa 1968) took a throw in and tripped over the edging falling head first onto the muddy pitch. Cue a song about who put Knowles in the shit. I think it happened!

The keeper would look pleasantly surprised and would normally start clapping back in return only for the Ooooh it’s a monkey chant to begin! that was sung to Gordon Banks when Stoke came, as he approached the cowshed he swung on the cross bar with one hand and scratch under his other armpit and laughter. UTT. |

I'll walk a million miles. Remember Molly Malone but haven’t heard it for maybe 20 years(?). Funny how these chants just die out. Remember going to Grimsby a few times in the 80’s and singing “you’re shit and you stink of fish”. The off the cuff on the day ones were always the best. Seems like much of the humour (and nastiness) has gone out of the chants these days, it’s way too staid. The threat of being carted out is stronger than it used to be. One of the best ones in more recent times is when the Blackpool fans invaded the field and the bloke in the wheelchair got “there’s only one Brian Potter” sung at him. Funny but inoffensive. |

Who remembers: Aye, Aye, Aye Aye, Oldfield is better than Yashin, Dobson is better than Eusebio and Bradford are in for a thrashing. ( NB. Insert whatever team we were playing) (Pronounce eye at beginning)
Also. Who’s that copper in the big black hat, Dixon, Dixon, who’s that copper in the big black hat, Dixon of Dock Green. On the beat all day, on the wife all night, who's that copper in the big black hat, Dixon of Dock Green.
And finally, to the tune of grocer jack. Whenever Jimmy Nicholson who took most direct free kicks with a scoring chance, was rolling on the ground after being taken out. Jimmy Nick, Jimmy Nick, get off your prick and score for town, don’t let them down, oh no oh no.
Hope these are ok, obviously not politically correct in this day and age. I remember Molly Malone as well, but have to say I’ve never understood the significance, so if someone can enlighten me, i’d be pleased. I can still remember the tune for the first two, but couldn’t telly you what they were.

...Two all time classics...

The keeper would look pleasantly surprised and would normally start clapping back in return only for the Ooooh it’s a monkey chant to begin! I remember that the Cowshed used to clap the opposition keeper as he walked towards the nets and when he placed down his gloves down, we used to start making monkey noises. I seem to remember that a bit later a few people started bringing banana skins and then the odd banana to throw at the net to greet the keeper. |
