Only Aberdeen fans would take the most common taunt aimed at them from Scottish rivals and turn it into their own terrace chant. The Dons get called sheep lovers by opposition fans, so Aberdeen supporters just beat everyone to it and sing it themselves. Glorious self-deprecation from the Red Army. One of the more unusual Aberdeen FC songs.

Lyrics for Sheep Lovers

Sheep sh*gging bastards, We're only sheep sh*gging bastards, Sheep sh*gging bastards, We're only sheep sh*gging bastards...

Behind the chant

What's the story behind Sheep Lovers?

Aberdeen and the wider north-east of Scotland have long been taunted by rivals over the region's agricultural character. Rather than bristling, Dons fans pre-empt the joke with this chant, a move that typically silences the opposition and gets a laugh from everyone else.
