Manchester United · England · 1983
Glory, Glory Man United
Written for the 1983 FA Cup final and adopted permanently. It is sung faster every decade, and the Stretford End sets the tempo.
Glory, glory Man United, as the reds go marching on.
When it is sung
Before kick-off and after every goal. The away end often sings it at twice the speed of the home end.
A club song is not entertainment. It sets the stadium’s tempo, signals to players that the crowd still believes, and in a silent match it can be the only pressure the away team feels.
