The best chants are remembered long after the result of the game is forgotten.
So with thanks to Ireland's number one shampoo,
Head & Shoulders, we're bringing you a list of all of our favourite footy sing-songs.
Without further ado...
'We all dream of a team of Gary Breens'
Breen may have been an average player, but this is certainly not an average chant.
Never mind 'cult following,' we're pretty sure there's an actual Gary Breen cult and we would love to join!

'Joe Hart - he's got a flaky scalp'
"Joe Hart's shoulders can handle a lot of things, but they can't handle dandruff" or so the Head & Shoulders advert goes.
Hart is certainly built of stern stuff, as a lesser man wouldn't have taken the slagging as well as he did.

Let's pretend we scored a goal
Because your team being rubbish shouldn't affect your enjoyment of the game, should it?

"We paid for your hats, we paid for your hats, what a waste of council tax, we paid for your hats"
Being a policeman at a football game is a thankless task.

"He's coming for you, he's coming for you, Harry Potter, he's coming for you"
At least Jonjo Shelvey doesn't have to worry about flaky scalp chants.

The Kolo & Yaya Touré song
An especially cringey chant when done by an average football team.

The 12 Paul McGraths of Christmas
See can you hear the one guy who hasn't copped on that it's a parody and sings 'three french hens.'

Georgie Best chant
Manchester United fans still idolise Northern Ireland's finest ever footballer and if there is an afterlife, Georgie will never have to put his hand in his pocket.
