On the Ball City is Norwich City's official anthem, and the oldest football song still sung at matches anywhere in the world. Penned in the 1890s, before the club even existed, it has been sung by Norwich supporters for generations. Every Norwich City chant and song has its moment, but this is the one the Canaries always come back to. Hear the full lyrics and sing along.
Testi di On the Ball City
Kick off, throw it in, have a little scrimmage,
Keep it low, a splendid rush, bravo, win or die;
On the ball, City, never mind the danger,
Steady on, now’s your chance,
Hurrah! We’ve scored a goal.
City!
