Title: The Mighty Quinn.
Post by: bellevuebulgar on June 03, 2024, 05:17:02 pm: One for the older members on here. Back in the late 60s I recall the Mighty Quinn song/chant sung by visiting supporters at Belle Vue, as they had a “mighty” Quinn centre forward but I can’t remember if it was Rotherham or Barnsley. I suspect it was Rotherham.
Any help much appreciated.
Cheers.

We sung it at pool night too, when the Mrs had the pub.
