It's a grand old team
It's a grand old team
Watching a home Everton game the other day on tv, at the end I heard a familiar tune played over the tannoys- It's a grand old team- wiki suggests Everton and Celtic have reference. I can remember that tune at Ibrox. So which support sung this tune first ...

Maybe my Australian Football club could be a contender...
The Melbourne Football Club is one of the oldest professional sporting clubs in the world, with a proud history dating back to 1858.

Re: It's a grand old team
The song is definitely played at Goodison when the teams emerge, and sometimes at the end if they've been a "grand old team." I think David Moyes, with his Celtic connection, took the song there? I don't think the Rangers fans ever sang the song at Ibrox. What they did do, however, was to wait for the last line - "And the Glasgow Celtic will be there" - when they added - "Selling bananas."brian f wrote: ↑Mon Dec 23, 2019 10:36 pm Watching a home Everton game the other day on tv, at the end I heard a familiar tune played over the tannoys- It's a grand old team- wiki suggests Everton and Celtic have reference.

Nothing is ever really lost to us as long as we remember it.

Yes Penny Tray and if memory serves the next line was “Two for a tanner!”
Glen Daly recorded the song on several of his LPs.

There's a grand old team to go to jail for.....
There's a grand old team to pay the bail for...
Late 70s I think
