    Just been reminiscing about some of the popular football chants at OAkwell and decided to look at their origins.
    It's amazing how old some of the tunes they're based on are, ranging from 40 odd years to 250 years+
    For interest, these are some of the ones I looked at with original song in the 2nd column and year written in the third column.

    Add Oops Upside Your Head 1979 - We are Premier League & loads of others.

    I blame the fact that the DJ at the time (79/ 80/ 81), only had 4 records, supplied by Casa Disco.
