The same segment of Sousa tune is sometimes employed for club-specific football chants (for example
Plymouth Argyle supporters regularly sing "Ar-guy-ull, ar-guy-ull, ar-guy-ull") and as a vehicle for exhortations to the players (a team that has scored three goals might be encouraged to "give us four" etc.), an impromptu observation on the on-field action ("send him off") or a taunt ("you're no good"). The supporters of
Nottingham Forest used the melody with the words "Bri-an Clough" in honour of the then manager
Brian Clough before the kick-off of each match. The singing would only stop once Clough had acknowledged the chant with a wave. The song tune is also used simply for football club names, usually with three syllable names, such as
Liverpool,
Arsenal and
Cliftonville. The chant is used to mock the opposition, with fans chanting "cheerio" (telling them goodbye sarcastically) towards the opposition fans as they leave the ground early, due to seeing their team being well-beaten and being frustrated with their team. The supporters of
Valencia CF used to sing the melody with the words which means something like "Oh! How good" in
Valencian. ==Recordings==
