Why Do Nottingham Forest Fans Sing Mull of Kintyre Before Home Matches and What Are Song Lyrics?

NOTTINGHAM FOREST are back in the Premier League.

And with that you'll hear a raucous singalong of a classic before kick-off at the City Ground.

Why do Nottingham Forest fans sing Mull of Kintyre?

Nottingham Forest first played the Paul McCartney and Wings hit at the City Ground before their triumphant win over Yeovil Town in 2008 which saw an inspired Forest seal promotion back into the Championship.

And it has been used ever since at the ground, being played before kick-off and also sung by the Forest faithful during matches.

Like Forest, Charlton Athletic also have their own version of the song but about the Thames.
