Further to remarks from me earlier in the thread years ago.The current controversy about the song has unleashed acres of newspaper discussion. Mostly backed up by a quick look in wikidpedia. This has made people think the habit of singing the song started in the 80's, to do with a plyer whose nickname was chariots. But as most posters hear will know, the song has been used in rugby circles for years. As a point of historical witness, I know it was sung at the Oxford/Cambridge match in Twickeneham, December 8, 1964. And doubless years before, but '64 is what I can personally swear to.
