Sunderland fans do sing a song to the same tune, but tonight it was the Blackburn fans singing it.

Our version:

We went to Wembley Stadium twas on the 5th of May
Nineteen Hundred and Seventy Three, what a lovely day
We showed them how to drink brown ale, we showed them how to sup,
We even showed the bar stewards how to win the FA Cup.
