Forbury Lion oldebiscuit Forbury Lion Maybe we can sing it in response to Luton fans when they next bang on about their 1988 Simod Cup win at Wembley?
Yes, whoopee! we did once win at Wembley but lets be honest, as far as most fans are concerned, that does not count as a significant fixture in our history. Basically it was a competition created so that small clubs could get to Wembley and fantisize that they are important. Basically, it was a friendly and although it has not been expunged from the records, it will go down as about as important as a pre-season friendly. If anyone wants to shout about that one then it's a sorry state of affairs.
Sure, it's nothing to shout out about and I'd be embarrassed if we did (except maybe to Luton Town fans of a certain age who remember it) but that doesn't mean we should wipe one of the few achievements in our history from existence just because it doesn't fit in with the lyrics of a song suggestion.
I think those Luton fans of a 'certain age' would cringe on behalf of us and laugh if we brought that one up, so let's give that one a miss.
Also, lyrics to a fotball song don't necessarily have to be exactly true, Example.... 'Harry Roberts is our friend'. Friend? I never even met him.
