The 20 Funniest Football Chants Ever

When you're at a football match, there's only one thing that can make you feel better when your team is once again losing 24-0 and are on course to break that losing record with a 34th consecutive loss.

It's not the brilliant atmosphere created from your club's version of the Kop, and it's not the dazzling skills of the opposition as they whip the ass of your team in more ways than one.

Of course, the only thing that softens the blow of yet another 24-0 loss is the genius of the fans in the stands, coming up with hilarious chants and songs that just can't stop you laughing.

Either hilarious, or so pathetic that they become hilarious, there have been some fantastic chants coming from the stands down the years, and here Yoosof Farah has whipped up 20 of what he thinks are the best football chants around.

"There's only one Emile Heskey, one Emile Heskey. He used to be sh**e, but now he's all right, Walking in a Heskey wonderland"

Yes, we kick off in style with those wonderland chants, and one sung back in the day from Birmingham City fans about Emile Heskey after his return to form.

"He's here, he's there, he wears no underwear, Lee Bowyer, Lee Bowyer."

This funny one was sung by Leeds United fans after the former Leeds man admitted he sometimes goes commando.
