Maybe you can settle a debate for me? When did we start singing Sweet Caroline after big wins? I know we sang it after the Wigan play-off in 2014, but I have a hunch we sang it after Oldham in 2003 too?
This bloody tune is also sung after a home win at Fenway Park. It is supposed to have started when drunken members of the Kennedy organized crime family, lead by mob boss Ted, regularly sang it for a family member.
The other, possibly more plausible story, is that Amy Toby, who used to pick the music played at the stadium, rather liked it.
I prefer the thought of pasty faced Hibernian drunks having a sing song.

If we go with the more plausible option, when do we think that may have started?
As a seventies boy i think its well shit . the sort stuff your parents played on their hitachi music centre while you were grooving to something cooler, Dont mind the young uns enjoying it though. Neil Diamond was always naff though
The only thing i can say for it is that its a lot better than Swing low sweet chariot.
Y'know, I was occasionally in Richmond area pubs after an England rugby game and was always struck by the gusto which Glad All Over received. Rather moving.

That was a Palace song far as long as I can remember. Obviously, Croydon trying to imitate Tottenham!

I was there a few weeks after the bombing and sang it. Also been sung at the cricket etc for ages too. I like the way the media seem to think its a brand new thing.

Glad someone else has said that about the media...
I know that I should laugh it off, but it has been part of boxing culture in this country for decades.

Agree that he's a bit naff to look at with all the ruffled shirts and screaming 'middle aged' women fans.
this obsession to copy what yanks do, jimmy buffer started it here as i am sure he said he'd only come over to mc if they played this effing song, now it's endless. yes neil diamond gives money from proceeds to a boston charity and i applaud thatbut can't we stick to hi ho silver lining? or even ant and dec on the ball!
