rigger 3119 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Just watching The Big Match Revisited on ITV4. Arsenal V Spurs. This song popped into my mind : Bertie Mee said to Bill Shankley, Have you heard of the North Bank Highbury, Shanks say's no I don't think so, But I've heard of the Blackburn Agro.

(in white t-shirt) I can visualise the bloody pub (Adelphi ?) but can't name it. It's one of those (Gav, you bastard) that ensures you don't sleep because you are traumatised at being unable to come up with the answer! Tip of my tongue......

Every set of fans, even the Jocks, know the song. But nobody mentions the original. I can't believe that a song with such a widespread use, is not based on a well known tune.
