“The Greasy Chip Butty Song” is a football chant sung by the supporters of Sheffield United football club to the tune of “Annie’s Song”, glorifying life in Sheffield, in chief the eponymous chip butty but also nightlife, beer and tobacco products. The song, with its good-natured humour, has been adopted and adapted by fans of a number of other association football teams.
The song was initially written in the late 1970’s by a Rotherham United fan named Terry Moran. While the song became known as the “Greasy Chip Butty Song”, Moran’s inspiration came from Magnet, with the mention of chip butties being an afterthought. Gavin Hancock, a Rotherham Blade, overheard Moran singing the song in a pub and wrote his own version about the Blades; Hancock’s version quickly grew in popularity among Sheffield United supporters from the early 1980’s and is now considered the club’s anthem.
