Over the course of the 2019-20 season, one of the most popular chants heard around the terraces of the Premier League is sure to be Sheffield United’s ‘Greasy Chip Butty Song’.
It was evident on Saturday as Chris Wilder’s side returned to the Premier League with a 1-1 draw at Bournemouth. Chris Mepham may have opened the scoring for the Cherries just after the hour mark, but the fans from South Yorkshire were in full voice after Billy Sharp scored a late equaliser to pinch a fine point.
The Greasy Chip Butty Song has been a staple for the Blades since the mid-1980s, when fans adopted the tune of John Denver’s ‘Annie’s Song’ to glorify working-class life in the Yorkshire city with more than a hint of irony and humour.
