Wise Men Say

[Bob's Orange]

Can anyone tell me why we sing this?

I have heard Preston, Sunderland and Dundee United singing it recently also, have they copied us?

[Iffy's Onion Bhaji]

no. its a song that has been sang on the terraces of many clubs over the years. its more than  likely we are copying someone else

[Sippo]

I think its just a song that goes around the grounds. Don't think it was just our song?

[Spencer_White]

Not to mention Boston, Sheff Weds and Hull.

I think Sunderland have a claim to it. Maybe Hull too. But the rest can fook off.

[Elsterap]

I always thought it was Wise Men Sing?

[reeves4england]

There are a few that sing it, but I think only WE use it as our adopted song

I have seen Town play Wednesday twice and been to 2 Steel City derbies and have never heard them sing it once!!

Be good to have a unique football song. Best one by a mile in my opinion is Delilah at Stoke.

'Wise Men Say, only fools rush in, but I can't help falling in love with you'.

Elvis and UB40 I believe? (and STFC!)

[reeves4england]

Yep, UB40 is the one they always play I think

[Simon Pieman]

It's the Brummie accent

[Reg Smeeton]

Historically up til around the early 60's.....the STFC anthem was To be a Farmer's Boy.

 This was the marching song of Wilts regiments....so was widely known and sung at the CG.

 The music is there somewhere as well.

You can always rely on Reg!
