There’s a post on New York City FC’s Twitter account that shows assistant coach Nick Cushing belting out a chant to a familiar sing-song tune that you often hear in European football stadiums.
But this isn’t just another chant. This one is special because Cushing wrote the words to it, and it’s dedicated to NYCFC’s title-winning season: This the song that captures the spirit of the players and the fans who brought a champion’s trophy to New York City.
Called “The Story of the City Boys,” It’s a song worth learning.
When you look across the pond to England, the supporters of clubs such as Chelsea and Manchester United have songs tailored to their identities.
