Eight in ten fans say football chants are a key part of the atmosphere when watching a live match - with banter and humour making up a “good” chant
Football supporters have had their say on the funniest chants – with an ode to Peter Crouch coming top. “He's big, he's red, his feet stick out the bed” dates back to the six-foot-six star’s Liverpool career, where he played from 2005 to 2008.
The research was commissioned by CopyBet.com, which has also created a quiz featuring a series of questions on classic terrace anthems past and present. “As the study shows, chants are integral to the live match experience – and a fascinating, enduring link between the modern game and eras gone by. And “Your teeth are offside” is about controversial ex-Liverpool star Luiz Suarez and his prominent gnashers – although he hasn’t helped himself, having bitten several opposition players.
Of the 72 per cent of supporters who enjoy a good sing when watching football, most “always” or “often” do so when cheering on their side live in the stadium. And in Scotland, it’s the Celtic fans who generate the best atmosphere at games, followed by Glasgow rivals Rangers, and then Aberdeen.
