Memory Lane #23 | “Alien Chant Farm...” - a podcast about Blades chants

From the Greasy Chip Butty song to sweary away day classics, Memory Lane celebrates the chants that have soundtracked life as a Blade. Surely we’ve missed a few though!?

What makes a great chant?

In this episode of Memory Lane, Andrew Hague is joined by Sam Parry and Karl McKenna to dig through Sheffield United’s terrace songbook.

It’s all about how chants spread, why the best ones are often completely spontaneous, which players were blessed with songs far better than they deserved, and why United fans seem physically incapable of keeping the same tempo for more than about 30 seconds.

We reprise this theme again. So, let us know what we’ve missed. And does anyone remember that chant Sam was reaching for at Millwall away at Christmas?
