There have been louder and more-intense renditions of West Ham’s quirky music hall anthem ‘I’m Forever Blowing Bubbles.’
At the old Boleyn Ground, it could fairly shake the foundations of that East End landmark. It’s never felt quite like that at the London Stadium.
But few versions have been more evocative than Saturday evening's, sung out as best they could by the lucky 2000 fans sat in the Billy Bonds, socially distanced, looking for all the world like mannequins from a distance.
‘Fortune’s always hiding,’ they sung as loud as they could manage, to a man and woman.
