The first time I did hear it though, I loved it. Whichever late 80s/early 90s match it was you could tell it was special to older supporters as it got them chanting. It definitely got more of a response than whatever had been played previously.
The Liquidator was played many years before that. Its definitely a traditional Wolves song - all traditions start somewhere anyway.
These bits of kids just don’t understand
Albion was never really a thing until the early 90’s and bully and Thompson. For a lot of us it’s stoke. Not much was said when ally Robertson was playing for us back in the late 80’sDespite the fact that the seventies were a bit wild, I'm sure that the "**** off West Brom" chant wasn't added until much later. Can anyone date it?!
I'm also sure that when I started going in the seventies, we actually came out to "The Happy Wanderer"
It was first played in the late 60's early 70's, when the record was current and was taken up by the crowds of a number of clubs as a chant. I don't remember the FOWB being added to it until it was revived, as a nostalgia thing, in the 80's, but the song itself and the clapping chorus was certainly traditional Wolves way before that.
Yes, pretty much as I recall it too. Doubt if it could be proved exactly which club adopted it first, it was just a popular tune amongst the kids who went to matches in those days, along with Judge Dread and Max Romeo etc. The synchronised clapping and "The Wolves" was the main thing. Unfortunately you cannot now disassociate the anti WBA element and the expletives from it and therefore we are unlikely to see a return to it by the club. I do however wonder, in these days of mobile devices and even portable BT speakers, if it might make an "unofficial" return someday? Can you clap and hold a smartphone at the same time?
Stoke ???
The first time I heard it mentioned was circa late 60's early 70's at Chelsea.
St*ke is the festering boil on the a*se of humanity.....
Pagey, Sir, you can be my DJ.....Slade and Elvis today, knew we were gonna win after hearing that.
Do the powers at be read and take on what's said on here? If so, consider the liquidator

They should be banned from having fans
All true, but it is a great song for getting up a pre match atmosphere.
Wasted on them.

Released in 1969. Harry J. All Stars
You're sure about that? Because I've heard it on telly.
Almost certain. They play hi ho silver lining
I do (mainly) agree with this - the lightshow and stuff makes it more of a spectacle for younger fans, which has to be the target to sustain fans for the longer term.
If they thought that there was passion to Hi Ho then the Liquidator would have blown their minds lol....
How about some RAP !!!!!!!!!!
