I have never had the fortune to go to Goodison Park, but I was convinced I had heard the Z Cars theme played on the tannoy at the start of a match somewhere - I just couldn't remember where, and now I know! Watford FC has ran out to Z Cars since 1963 - pretty much the same year that the Toffees have ran out to the same ditty ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their keeper was a lad called Dean Greygoose. He was having a torrid night, not helped by the EastEnd giving him his own chant (rare for an away player)! Hey goosey goosey Goosey goosey goosey goosey gaaaander! I remember that game - in addition to this I recall when taking goal kicks the usual “you’re s**t aargh” was replaced with “shoot shoot shoot that goose” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazooka Joe Posted September 28, 2021 Report Share Posted September 28, 2021 (edited) Now here's a thought. I wonder whether the farm workers amassed in the Old Cowshed Stand in the 1930s/40s ever sang "When the Moon Shines over the Cow Shed" during their rendition of "I am a Soured Cream Drinker"?

Ronnie Sinclair Posted September 28, 2021 Report Share Posted September 28, 2021 Not sure if my memory is playing up, but does anyone else remember a last day match at AG vs Brentford, circa early 90s? City won 4-1 (I think!), a result that sent Brentford down, and I recall the Dolman serenading a rather portly gentleman in the open end with the song 'he's fat, he's round, his team are going down, baldy, baldy...' as he was getting rather irate in said area. Sure I didn't imagine this?! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh Louie louie Posted September 28, 2021 Report Share Posted September 28, 2021 Yes, last day of the season. Brentford had to get something to stay up. They brought loads that day, they filled the old open end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh Louie louie Posted September 28, 2021 Report Share Posted September 28, 2021 Also in that era, i can recall reading bringing loads to a end of season game. Think they were gong well, and i recall a bit of grief on ashton road. Pretty sure it was last day of the season, and somebody saying the reading fans had cb radios.

Did get a photo of the scoreboard after Whitehead put us one up though!

And I would have finished that sentence with - in front of a big Ashton Gate crowd- but only 10k. Shows how times have changed. Only 10k but a cracking atmosphere. Plymouth always used to travel in numbers to Bristol. That game was one of my all time favourites at the Gate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not all ticket and they unexpectedly brought a ridiculous number - up to 5k was reported at the time, and they were in several areas of the ground, including notably a large presence in the Grandstand iirc.

From memory, we were already down and they were chasing promotion. I played for the junior reds that morning in the park then went home straight after as we couldn't be bothered to watch another defeat!!!
