I've just had a thought.... the 'Andre, Andre give-us-a-wave' chant used to be sung in the late '80s/early '90s didn't it.
But I'm sure we used to sing the '....give us a wave' bit to random parts of the ground, then you'd wait for them to wave, and give them a cheer??? I'll give you an example;
"Paxton, gissa wave, Paxton Paxton Gissa wave..." (PAUSE, they wave) Huraaaaay!
"West Stand, gissa wave, West Stand, Wesat stand gissa wave..." (PAUSE, they also wave) Huraaaaay!
and then we tried our luck;
"Linesman gissa wave Linesman Linesman, gissa wave..." (PAUSE, nothing) Booooo! )
I always hoped the linesman would wave (they never did) just so we could shout 'OFFSIDE!!' ah, happy carefree days!
I'm sure we could try and 'unite the ground' with this on Thursday... and the beauty of it is, it works for ANYTHING with 2-syllables; Ball-Boy, Spurs bench, Policeman, (their) 'keeper, Steward (actually, didn't we sing this to a steward at the Maribor game, Or am I imagining it???)
