Wondered what the song was in the bar before the game.

It's got cracking lyrics but its very very long and the chances of 99% of Wiggin Wiggin fans singing that are zero i'm afraid.

A good pre match pub song though.

ANCIENT & LOYAL UPON MY CHEST

Ancient and loyal, upon my chest
they are men of wigans best
a team that plaaayed, the wigan way
and won the championship in may

jim sullivan, he was the king
brian mctigue and johnny ring
a team that plaaayed the wigan way
and won the championship in may

when eric ashton was alive
and billy boston by his side
with dave bolton and billy blan
oh what a time to be a fan

in 85, at wem-ber-ly
john ferguson and brett kenny
a team that plaaayed the wigan way
and won the challenge cup in may

in 95 we won them all
tuigamala, faz and paul
a team that played the wigan way
and won the championship in may

It'll take a long while for everyone to learn thats for sure but you never know i suppose.

I'm just abit dubious as most of the time the majority of our fans can hardly be ars*d standing up.

It's a great song for games like last night when the hardcore fans are there and alot of drink has been sunk!!

Heard you lads at it mate and it was very good.

It was great yesterday to hear the fans getting a good atmosphere going. Like i say those there are the hardcore who will back the players when the effort is right.

Looks like no-one in the know is answering, so I had a look round Youtube. I guess the tune is the same as this Liverpool version:

Liver Bird Upon my Chest

That doesn't appear to be copyrighted music so I guess it is okay to link to it directly. There is the Celtic version on there as well that might be copyright, so I won't put a link here. A search for "four leaf clover on my chest" will take you to it.

A purple patch inspired on his home ground by man of the match WIGAN CAPTAIN Sean O’Loughlin produced three tries in an eight-minute spell just before half-time, and the GB Lions added two more after the break to maintain Smith’s 100 per cent record as Great Britain
coach.
