Six foot two, eyes of blue,
Allan Hunter's after you.

And I used to quite like "When you're smiling, when you're smiling...
which ended with "M-I, M-I-C, M-I-C-K, Mick Hill!"
Who remembers him??

Your going home in a Suffolk ambulance.


Wasn’t it “St Johns Ambulance” if I remember right?

The “IRA” song, but obviously firmly in the context of Bidens Inflation Reduction Act, to add a modern twist and to be less offensive.

Aye, aye ay-aye,
Hancock is better than Yashin
And Crawford is better than Eu-se-bio
And [opposing team name] are in for a thrashing.

Wouldn't work now because Hancock and Crawford no longer play for us.


plus there are even a couple of norwich players who are better than eusebio in his current state...

Another favourite of mine.

You are my Ipswich, my only Ipswich,
You make me happy when skies are grey,
You never notice, how much I love you,
Please don't take my Ipswich away.

Incidentally, I think there was much more variety in the songs we sung then.

I might add that I listened to the Fulham game and thought they did have a good variety of songs.

Amazing grace with Ipswich , Ipswich has to come back


This was still floating around in the mid to late 90s.
Not heard it in ages though.

Distortion becomes somehow pure in its wildness.

Didn't Man Utd start the six foot two song when referring to Jim Holten. He died of a heart attack aged just 42.

A low point was the singing of the Ipswich Republican Army
song which really wound up Villa fans...
Amusing and witty chants when Peter Shilton was all over
previous Sunday's papers for his liaison with lady in his
Rolls Royce, town fans very funny and poor Shilton
Patrolled the furthest edge of penalty area to distance
Himself from North Stand. Anyone remember?

I remember that day well in the North Stand.

Toilet, Chips, Chinese and Indian...

That was a rare chant by a group who would come into the back of the old North Stand about five minutes before kick off and push everyone forward whilst doing that chant.

One of them looked like Richard Dreyfuss's character in Jaws, and the youngest looking member of the group had a resemblance of Paul Gascoigne about him. They held him up when we played Newcastle, and they sung "we've got Gascoigne, we've got Gascoigne, you ain't, you ain't....."

We're all going to Wembley
And we'll really shake 'em up, when we win the FA cup
Coz Ipswich are the greatest football team.

I remember that day well in the North Stand.


Yes those were the days when you could walk into the ground just before kick off
and pay £3 cash and stand where you like. Yes Shilton 'enjoyed' that song, a long
45 minutes for him at North Stand end! Well remembered. I don't remember the
score or what happened in the actual match!

It was 81 when he got caught so was either a 2-0 league win or the 1-0 Cup replay win.

I started going in 1969 and this is an early favourite.

From the banks of the River Orwell to the shores of Sicily,
We will fight, fight, fight for Ipswich til we win the Football League,
To hell with Liverpool, to hell with Man City,
We will fight, fight, fight for Ipswich til we win the Football League,


This was a straight steal from Manchester United, substituting River Orwell for River Irwell - why do think it references Liverpool and Man City? They still sing it today. Rather we used our own songs.
