    Coventry at home in 1987 there was a really fat guy at the top of the Holmesdale End, whom was giving it to the Charlton fans in the lower Arthur Waite stand.

    The banter was fairly innocuos, until the fat chap ventured to the burger stand, and came back with a 'Selhurst Special' with cheese, onions and lashings of red sauce.

    This prompted a raucuos chant of 'Fatty's got a burger' ringing out across the entire Arthur Waite stand.

    This seemed to amuse the Coventry fans as much as it did the Charlton mob, poor old fatty however didn't see the funny side, and was soon being dragged away by the constabulary - without his burger!

    Nobody seems to have mentioned ‘again, we’ll never play you again...’ sung by some 11k Charlton fans massed in the Arthur wait as we headed back to the premiership and palace were looking like they could go down and out of business. No matter how the fortunes have temporarily turned around in recent years the moment and noise at at that ground was pure joy to be a part of.

    When we erroneously thought the ref had booked someone twice without sending them off.

    Remember that. '' Fatty's getting fatter " was also eloquently directed towards him.

    Also at City Ground, Forests own original version of Valley Floyd Road, which incidentally we sung in unison. Weird to hear home and away with essentially the same song.

    Forest sing it so much better, they don’t rush through it in 15 seconds

    Who ate all the pies
    To Tony Roberts daggers keeper who took it all and gave it back in good spirits

    Who ate all the pies to the fat trainer bloke that we used to have who ended up bringing pies onto the pitch as a joke.
    The first time I can remember singing it was at Upton Park to the West Ham photographer, Steve Bacon.

    Plenty of ‘dirty northern bastards’ sung on Saturday.

    Always amuses me why we seem to pronounce the word bastards the northern way when we sing this, ie " bustards" rather than "barstards"

    "You should have stayed at the Valley"

    Sung to Simon Royce shortly after Shaun Bartlett scored that goal of the season

    Even better was the little jig Simon did to acknowledge it - Best bit of fan / player banter I'll ever see

    When he played Brighton, we alternated signing

    "we hate Palace more than you!"

    At Anfield in 2007 (final match in the PL) one of the locals in the Anfield main stand (a father with a kid) was getting a bit irate and seemed to be wanted to stage a one man battle with us

    "You're not fit to be a dad"

    "Stand up if you hate Palace" with all 4 sides on their feet was class.

    Good old Brighton - great club.

    I always liked the England's number1 England's England's number 1 to David James. I seem to remember the covered end getting to about number 7 before it finished. David James was good value throughout the chant!

    Bertie Mee said to Bill Shankly...... Never seem to do "1-0 to the Londoners" anymore, or Dirty Northern Bastards. Conversely, the incest songs gets an airing every week. Supposed to be specifically for when we're playing rural clubs - Norwich, Ipswich, etc. Not for Wimbledon, Luton, Coventry, etc.
    Glad  "1-0 to the Londoners" came back

    It goes back a lot of years and relates to an arrest of a Charlton fan by mounted police. 
    It usually gets sung when somebody is getting ejected from the ground, or there is a heavy police presence.

    If you know you know, or you need to be old 😉.

    Brighton away at the Goldstone many moons ago. I think it became more popular after a big away turn out at West Ham one year. A horse and a copper were involved on both occasions.

    You know that was the first time I heard it sung too. 1975 promotion season. Mike Kelly equaliser in a 1-1 draw played on a mud heap. His header stopped in the mud about a yard over the goal line.  

    We had thousands there. My first away game outside of London.

    I think @stonemuse said on here GH started in the 70s after an altercation with the police at Brighton station.

    Id love mate if you could expand on the story behind it with all you can remember. Can see this drifting into years to come like the Addicks nickname with those that come later down the line never fully sure!

    Rodger Johnsons a wanker he wears a wankers hat,
    And when you want to lose a game you play him at centre back. 
    He came from Wolverhampton to give us fans the ump,
    And if you watch us play away he'll tell you you're a cunt. Oooooohhhh.....
