Nice one Ricksen, Nice one son

[Gascoigne8]

Nice one Ricksen, let’s have another one

Am I the only that remembers this being sung around 04/05 after he started lashing in free kicks?

Just a wee memory of fernando and a quite unique chant for him

 

[Broxibear1873]

I was singing it to my 6 year old boy yesterday, while showing him videos of Ricksen

 

[Gascoigne8]

Glad someone else remembers!

Would love to hear it tomorrow

 

[AyrshireRangers0508]

Feels like we could take this and sing it for some of the current crop of players.

 

[BobbyShearer]

Yes, it’s the song I associate most with him-am surprised that it might be considered “niche”

Remember being at Pittodrie that midweek when he banged one in to get it right up the sheepshaggers.

 

[Papa Sasac]

Remember it well. Great wee tune

Strangely only ever recall it sung for him in my time.

Hearts and Aberdeen I remember it

 

[alex wright]

It had been used previously for other players, it was quite popular in the 70's when I first started going to games.

 

[dublinbluenose]

Been watching his goals over the last few days and the vast majority he scored were top notch.

 

[Mark Walters]

Was definitely sung at Pittodrie after his magnificent reverse slew free kick

 

[EKBB]

That was my first visit to pittodrie.
Sure his header at the piggery was also the first meaningful goal I had seen us score there, was a couple of consolation goals before that

 

[Hagi9uk]

I feel so sorry for Fernando. What a sad way to pass away. An incredible fighter and an inspiration to anyone who feels low and needs a guiding light to get through any battle.

 

[Mr.Spock]

The original version I believe was Nice One Cyril,sung by Spurs fans for Cyril Knowles.

 

[gordon_blue]

We did Nice One Derek.

Parlane and Johnstone.

 

[minder]

Nice one Borna fits quite well if he can bang in another free kick like the one at St Mirren

 

[A kind of blue]

The original version I believe was Nice One Cyril,sung by Spurs fans for Cyril Knowles.

It was sung by Chas and Dave and released as a single I believe for a Spurs FA cup final game and then taken up by the fans.

 

[Treble Kings]

Definitely a tribute to Cyril Knowles. Sung by the Cockerel Chorus in 1973.

I thought it was only me that remembered this.

 

[bish79]

I remember signing it with 3 pals walking up Union St Aberdeen after that league cup free kick. Great times.

 

[IrvineLoyal]

I thought it was for when he karate kicked Darren Young and then commented he needed sorted out haha


Watching some old gamed he played scored some important goals for us at Pittodrie, Tynecastle, Dens park etc



He was an incredible athtlete will always remember his run in extra time against mentally challengeds in league cup at Ibrox set up Shota for the winner

 

[BlackfordLoyal]

4 nil game against the sheep at Ibrox back in 2004, I'm sure he scored a belter whole stadium giving it nice one ricksen.

Definitely remember reading a few things about it been sung about Cyril Knowles, think it was big deal then cos of the stick black players got on the terraces and it was one of the first examples of fans getting right behind a black player.

Terrific theory mate, but old Cyril was as white as the Spurs shirt he wore!!!

 

[TheStandardBearer]

I remember it.

Was only really sung after he scored which maybe why it’s not more we’ll known.

 

[Brother Crockett]

Are we thinking then of Cyril Regis?

Not too many Cyril’s christened now, probably due to that old weirdo on That’s Life.

Lol, Cyril Knowles was white. Think you're confusing him with Cyril Regis?

 

[Wee Dick's Hairnet]

The whole thing can only be fabricated as it doesn’t make any sense. Very odd.
