As the hymn 'Yellow Football Team' got a mention from Burkey in the post match interview, I thought a thread was in order where the lyrics could be available.. here goes (not my work btw)

In the town where I was born
(Hitchin)
There was man whose shorts were green
(Mark Burke)
And he told me of his love
For a yellow football team
...
We all love our yellow football team
Our yellow football team x2

[Brian]

I have to say I like the new songs. Well done to those who have come up with them.

Yellow football team brings a smile to my face every time I hear it.

[DarrenW]

Agree wont be to everyones liking but was different hearing singing at the game and hope it continues!

[Greenfinch]

Back in the seventies, especially to away cup ties,Hitchin Town arranged supporters coaches, and I remember singing along to this little ditto at the back with some fervent fans. Will put a modern version, as follows.
His name is Charlie Horlock, and he's the leader of the team,
The greatest football team that the Town has ever seen,
They play in yellow and Green,and their name is Hitchin Town,
And when they win The Southern League, this is what we'll sing.
La La La La, La La la la La, La La La La La La x 2

What is the tune for this Greenfinch?!

[Greenfinch]

McNamara's Band by Bing Crosby

Hi Russell,just looked the song up on Wikipedia, really interesting story, its also on you tube.It was played at every Tottenham home game for 30yrs, and is still played today as the players leave the pitch after a game.I would imagine somebody adapted the song with football linked lyrics, and then it ended up with Hitchin fans doing a similar rendition.

ah right just had a listen
i’m confident this could be resurrected

[Kate Deller]

I love all the new songs, they make me smile and its great to hear them on our stands.

Well done to the crew who sing them so loud, may they be sung by everyone home and away.
