^ 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.
Shalom

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.
My squeeze preferred something smoother

What tf are you on about?
I realise that you are too intellectually challenged to form your own sentences in your first language, but don't sneak your own comment that makes no sense into the c+p you are trying to pass off as your own input.
Regarding 'The Liquidator', yeah it's a total cringe what idiots at The Hawthorns sing, and an embarrassment to the club.
No I watched them live in the early 80's best to remember their performance from then.
I can't imagine what the youth of today would think about experiencing a punk gig.
Pogo people spitting when you leave the gig covered in flem thinking that was fun.
Feck I was 15 years old back then glad I listened to something that put energy into your life.
Bloody shite they play now days sends me to sleep.

I was only thinking of that song yesterday.
I used to go down to The Rock Pub just off Ari BTS with the poster Robitusson 15+ years ago, where does the time go, to the death metal gigs, was funny to see how some of the Thais react to a real moshpit taking off. Literally fleeing as fast as they can with expressions of horror at being publicly pushed around and hit by strangers.
Strange people.
