Tommy_Fent Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 (edited) Is there a story as to why it's associated with our club? Or was it just always played at a time when we were doing well and caught on from there? Just curious Edited June 10, 2013 by Tommy_Fent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

singe Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 It's brought latics luck over the last 20 years........ Blimey, imagine how bad things would have been had we not been associated with it..We'd have probably been stuck in the 3rd Division for all that some and ended up with a 3 sided ground and Dave Penney or Paul Dickov as manager. Nah, it could never get that bad, surely? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThaiLatic Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 This always reminds me of my childhood and BP. Happy days. Has anyone ever asked Lt Pigeon if they're aware of their importance to Latics fans? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave_Og Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 It was the only single we could afford in the 70s; remaindered in the Javelin records bargain bin. By the way, it was written as a satire on decimalisation... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone ever asked Lt Pigeon if they're aware of their importance to Latics fans? Better keep it quiet, or LT Pigeon and their recording company will be after about 20 yrs worth of royalties.
