I think I have sung "by far the greatest team" on occasion but am sure it has more often been "the finest football team". | |

I've been going since 1980 and I've always heard/sung 'Finest'.
That's not to say I wasn't getting it wrong though. |  |

"Finest" since at least 1995, if not earlier, in my experience. |  |

If you'd looked about you'd have noticed the lip-synching was out with your own!
It doesn't matter. Call it a subjective take. | |

Definitely "the finest" ever since I started going (in 1986). I always appreciated it as a nice dose of realism - while fans of other clubs blathered on about being the greatest, we knew we weren't quite that, but we did have an innate "fineness" that would forever set us apart.

I am fairly sure that one should be "Ipswich till I die". | |

Oh well, in that case I guess I'll be blissfully unaware of it sooner. | |

Always heard “finest” until about last season when some young lads seemed to be singing “greatest” . Assumed it was just because that’s the version sang by most other clubs and they didn’t realise Ipswich was different so surprised to read that some fans older than me thought that too. |  | | |

We've never been the greatest but we surely have been the finest. Anyhow that's what I have always known, always sing and will until I die. Finest football team the world has.... then just to be devilish... never seen.
