This is a history about the song "Glory Glory" which is the "pride and glory" for Man Utd fans. They rightly deserve to chant that song as they are 'THE' team for two decades now. But what really annoys me is that when I sang Glory Glory Tottenham Hotspur (which is also the official Sours song), some Man Utd fans will come up to me and tell me, "Go get your own song!" I was like, WTH...dont you know football history at all? I have the utmost respect for your team, but u just shove me like that for just singing that song, which is also the official song for my team? Have u got no shame? Now, here is a little fact for u, who disses other teams singing the Glory glory song. And these are all facts! And FACTS DONT LIE!
Manchester United fans have been singing this song since the early 1980s, and in the 1990s it became widely popular among opposition supporters to manipulate the words of the song when playing Manchester United to "Who The Fuck Are Man United". Since this point, Manchester United supporters have generally adopted the manipulated lyrics of the song themselves in preference to the original lyrics, as an ironic gesture, usually after a goal has been scored against a rival team, or at any time while winning.
Tottenham have a similar song following a different tune than of Manchester United's. The first to use the same underlying tune as Manchester United's was Glory Glory Tottenham Hotspur which can be traced back to the in the 1960s. Leeds United also started singing the song in the late 1960's and was released in the UK charts. The song also references former player, Billy Bremner and Don Revie as 'king', which further proves the dating.
So there you have it! So if you wanna sing, by all means, sing! But know the facts first before dissing others! Glory Glory Tottenham Hotspur!
