^ Chelsea anthem!

It became an official Chelsea song as early as 1970, when the club gave away copies of the song in their matchday programme as prizes to lucky supporters.
It is a reggae instrumental piece which was subsequently covered by The Specials on their ska medley ‘Skinhead Symphony’, which reached No.1 in the UK singles chart in January 1980 and prompted renewed interest in the song.


On a side note...Dillinger and Cyrilles tut tut..

The tune is ‘The Liquidator’ by the Harry J Allstars and has been used at various football grounds around Britain over the years. Wycombe Wanderers, Northampton Town, Wolverhampton Wanderers, West Bromwich Albion, Yeovil Town and St. Johnstone have all run out to the song, although it was stopped at Wolves and WBA by request of the police, who felt it promoted hooliganism.

Fortunately until winning cups in teh 70s the appalingly brutal Chopper Harris, went to teammat eand brother Alan's wedding Eddie McCreadie et al could hardly be seen across the greyhound track on a smoggy November night.To gie an idea how awful they were I had a trial , but not good enough to replace Alex Stepney or Peter Bonetti in goal.Went to Charlton but told them no thanks.
Of course El Tel, Bobby Tambling and Charlie Cooke same as Best Lorrimer and Greaves had 11 quid a week max cap.
