Which songs did boro fans sing first that other clubs have copied?

The Marseillaise was sung with adapted words in south stand seats by the Joey's/ Frontline lads around 86/87/88, Leeds and Man Utd took.all the credit when Le Sulk( Cantona not Anelka) played for both clubs.

Eio Eio Eio started with us but Millwall say they had a similar chant which goes way back something to do with their mascot Leo. I have heard Eio doing the rounds at some other clubs at the moment.

It was 1988 - i know the lad (B. Williams) who started it off the first time - the olympics had been on in Seoul and he liked it - there wasnt any words though, just the tune - we will hear it a lot next year, the Olympics are in Paris.

good call with the Queen 'we will rock you' drum and bass line. (y)

I remember being told by one of the many lads that went to the boro and the speedway meetings that EIO was copied from Grimsby Speedway fans.

Again the lads in the South Terrace who used to do that kinda later did a mash up version of that and the nursery rhyme Frere Jacques, which had the words "we will knack you " repeated in some part of it
 
Forest fans sang "Have you ever seen a Geordie lift a cup" when they played the Skunks at the City Ground in March. I think we can claim that one (and I didn't start them singing it, before anyone asks!)

I can't recall Grimsby ever having a speedway team - Scunthorpe then Hull would be the nearest clubs at that time

I wouldnt have the foggiest idea about Speedway teams so I may well have got the wrong team but I am certain that EIO coming from Speedway is the story somehow.
