Cecils recent column got me thinking about a drinking song I once heard while on a train from Nice to Marseille. There were a bunch of guys from England that were headed to Marseille to see the Northern Rock soccer team play…nearly the entire time they were singing this song - I can only remember the refrain - “Your mothers a stripper, your father Jack the Ripper and we’re all getting pissed!”
It was totally bawdy and funny and I’ve searched everywhere for any mention of it and I’m coming up with nothing…
Can anyone help? Ever heard it?
Thanks!
That would presumably be the sponsor of the team - not being a football fan, by googling I found that NR sponsor Newcastle United.

If the OP’s timeframe is Thursday 6 May 2004*, I humbly suggest the OP title is changed to something like Newcastle United Drinking Song, or similar. This will grab the attention of football aficionados everywhere and, who knows, there may be a Newcastle supporter on this message board.
If there is such a member then let me be the first to offer my condolences for the suffering incurred due to half a century of gross underachievement.
