Hey @Boris1565, despite being a Liverpool supporter, Iām not a United hater. I played on this California league team for five years (a few years before this photo so Iām not in it).
That is awesome!

As Sunderland and Huddesfield have been drawn against each other in the League Cup it will give both fans a chance to sing āCanāt helpā¦ā

SarĆ perchĆ© ti amo! A great classic from the past! I didnāt even know itās been adopted by Milan!
@Matt1953 top idea for a post.
I can indeed play Huddersfield Townās song āCanāt helping falling in loveāā¦ā¦ but on the piano.
Iād never tried on guitar, and have never tried to memorise the chord sequence - so I treated it as an ear exercise. I worked out the chords pretty quickly for the bit the fans sing. I left the bridge out as the chords are a little odd ā¦ā¦ā¦and as luck would have it, we donāt sing that bit .
Trying on a guitar, then made me think it would sound good on a fretless bass, so another ear training exercise, this time as a melody on a fretless bass.
I did a bit of research on the song and footie fans. Apparently Huddersfield, Sunderland and Hull all adopted it in the 60s.
I seem to recall in my mid teens there was an article in local publication (newspaper, or maybe match program) suggesting fans may want to return to the old songs. āCanāt help falling in loveā was one of them. So I guess there must have been a period where we didnāt sing it. Enough people knew it so it was resurrected. āBless āem allā (by I think George Formby) wasnāt so well known, so remained in the Town songs juke box in the sky.
For a while we used to walk out to āSinging the bluesā (the Tommy Steele version).

Always interesting when these things are adopted and had a look around the local sources. This comes from Google AI, but actually is extracted from a well respected supporter web site.
Ah, adopted since the 60s, rather than in the 60s.
I havenāt checked the lesson out. Iāll have a look.
