Nixie Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 I always thought this was just a random Hearts song, but looks like it has been around for a number of years and the paper claiming this morning it is a 'craze' Does anyone remember when Hearts first did it? http://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/cardiff-city-shoe-chant-sole-1883210 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

super_vlad Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 It used to be, "we only need one shoe" or "we have only one shoe" it's been changed recently to "shoes off" remember it being sung at the main square in Prague was great scenes. It has something to do with crabbe scoring with only one boot on against rangers I think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that I think about it, wasn't it 'one shoe, you've only got one shoe' something to do with Glasgow shoplifters habitually stealing one shoe from displays ?

roscogt1 Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Remember it well over 8 years ago at love street. It was the best part of a crap game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gasman Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Now that I think about it, wasn't it 'one shoe, you've only got one shoe' something to do with Glasgow shoplifters habitually stealing one shoe from displays ? I'm sure Hearts fans started singing it to Rangers fans, after Sandy Clark's goal (scored with one boot in his hand) against them in the mid eighties. It was also sung by fans down south to Liverpool (post '89) in a bad taste reference to all the shoes left on the Hillsbourgh terracing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingantti1874 Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 So did Hearts start it? No idea, we have sung it for a very long time but a number of clubs used it to goad the Glasgow unwashed.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
