    Can anybody tell me the name of the tune that the team used to come out to around the time of Mel Machin. It was a kind of irish jig that Gerry Taggart used to dance to!

    They called it The Oakwell Clapping Song. Camp beyond belief. When I was in Belgium some ridiculously kitchy band with comedy Belgian beards were playing it, I couldn't believe my ears!

    The gayest tune in the history of football. Conjured up images of leiderhosen and thigh slapping. Not good.

    Brings back some memories though; me and thee stood in the West stand with Dad.
