Plymouth’s Janner song divides opinion amongst some Argyle fans, but I think it’s one of the better anthems. Certainly better than Arsenal’s.
Written by two local musicians, it eulogises about the 3 Plymouth towns, Plymouth, Devonport and East Stonehouse, the local landscape, Plymouth Sound etc and the crowd all sing loudly with most of it, especially when the lyrics say, ‘where everyone’s known as a Janner’.
Janner! Janner! Janner!
For those who don’t know, locals particularly dockyard workers, are known as Janners and it’s thought that Naval personnel may have created the nickname many moons ago.
Proper anthem which can only be attributed to one club, unlike ours unfortunately.
