I must confess i bought the original Quo album at the time. From that album who can ever forget the soul searching track aptly entitled "Who am I?".

Whilst reading the cover and sleeve notes and the vinyl record label too (this was common in the late 70s amongst music nerds) I noticed the song writing credits of Rocking all over the World were owned by the J Fogerty you mention. This set me down the track of establishing who he was and eventually getting into CCR.

I've went off it a bit when it was played at the end of the match at Bromley after they beat us last season

Can anyone remember when this was brought in? I don't actually know.

No. Sorry. HTDH

It was about 20 years ago.

I can only remember hearing it in the 2000’s

I’m sure One Step Beyond was used for a few years

Please people

Not far off I think, I have a memory of it being played after the Hull play-off semi-final win.

As a one off or as an established tradition?

Being interesting to find out when it was first used.

About 20 years ago, it been going about that long, it's now part of our fabric hence my earlier post.

It might (only might) have been the first time it was played - just checked on YouTube, sounds like Steve Jenkins (on the gantry with Andy Gilson) shouting something about Rockin' All Over The World after the final whistle? It's then played a little while later:

I knew Gilso was to blame but did not want to say anything because he's no weel.

Not sure Taxi has been there since the 60s , it did not chart till 1965 , if i remember it was bought in by Kieth Simpson who at the time was Safety officer forthe club , i reckon late 70s .

It had been played a couple of times at home that season .
Think Bazza had learned to introduce stuff gradually after the Taxi Revolt

Taxi has been gracing the tannoys since the late 60s, apparently

Nah definitely earlier maybe early 70s as i distinctly remember hearing it when we played in all Red in division 2 .

Again may have been introduced slowly .

I have contacted Danny Macklin to see what he can do.

Could do with some Albatross by Fleetwood Mac to help us Westsiders get back to sleep.
