Glad this thread has been revived. Need to go back 20+ years for my international favourite: "5-1, even Heskey scored" after England's legendary victory in Munich. Also on an international theme, the perennial "cheer up {Scotland manager}..." always raises a smile.

'ooh Terry Evans!' is a lyrical masterpiece, still played on 'Absolute Nineties' at least once a day.
'ooh er Andy Kerr' gets less coverage disappointingly

"Put your hand up if you're an idiot" always made me laugh when the ref gave an indirect freekick!
I was always amused by the chant “ Can you hear the Gurnum Singh” whenever he ref'd a game
I loved the one from the Terrace where it would go quiet and one guy would shout
"Everybody, shout Abuse at the keeper"
To the reply of "ABUSE!"
Then the guys shouts
"Everyone, shout More Abuse at the keeper"
To the reply of "MORE ABUSE!"
(Then real abuse would start for a few seconds)
Borderline genius
Many....but a team from Cornwall playing a team from Devon and the crowd singing 'You dirty Northern bastards' has stuck in the mind.
Have met him several times and he is a a really nice chap - completely at odds to my impression of him when I stood on the terrace back in the day..
Superb
Shit for shit always pretty good
I’ve always liked ‘you ‘eard, you ‘eard’, in response to the opposition’s ‘you what?’.
Always liked the one for hapless Liverpool defender and unlikely European cup winner Djimi Traore with Blame it on the Boogie as the tune.
Don't blame it on the Hamman,
Don't blame it on the Finnan,
Don't blame it on the Biscan,
Blame it on Traore.
Surprised we didn't get "How's your father referee" yesterday.
I always enjoyed
”when you’re sat in row Z
and the ball hits your head
thats……..Zamora”
to the tune of ‘That’s Amore’
I've been told that American football fans sometimes sing 'The referee's a bastard'........on the way to the game.
Love the way that evolved.
It was :
"When the ball hits the goal
It's not Shearer or Cole
It's Zamora"
And above is just perfection, either as a reply or from his own fans when it wasn't happening for him.
"Who do you think you are kidding Mr Hitler" - to a referee who looked like Capt Mainwaring in Dads Army!
"One Peter Griffin, there's only one Peter Griffin" to a steward at Cheltenham (who must've seen the resemblance as he took it very well)
And on a similar theme https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=433516120605409&vanity=SPORTbibleFootball
Don’t know if this is apocryphal
Usamah ooh
Usamah ooh
He’s hiding in Kabul
He loves the Arsenal
I always liked the old West Ham song:
'His name is Luděk Mikloško
He comes from near Moscow
He plays in goal for West Ham'
Ludek's birthplace of Prostějov in the Czech Republic is a 1,081 mile drive to Moscow. It's 947 miles from the old Boleyn Ground.
