Brilliant to hear your 1962 memories. Sir Alf is my football hero and the Class of '62 are criminally overlooked (look inside Planet Blue, not a mention of them). In reality it's probably the top 3 biggest shocks in English football history. Sir Alf and his men seemed to get overlooked by Sir Bobby and his stars which I think is a shame.
Anyway, you mention the song Keep Right On To The End Of The Road which is obviously Birmingham's anthem now. I was there in 2001 League Cup semi and it sounds incredible when all 4 corners of the ground belt it out.
What I want to know, why the hell did it fade away as our anthem? And do you remember when it stopped being sang? |  |

I don't remember when it lost popularity at Portman Road but it certainly boomed out in 1961/62.
It was Birmingham's song first because it originated with them prior to the 1956 F.A. Cup Final apparently. |  | | |

'Rousing chorus of Keep Right on' is mentioned in the Supporters Club notes in some of the home programmes from 62'. | | | |

I remember my dad belting it out in the Vic Reeves club style at the 75 Leeds Cup game at Filbert St |  | | |
