Utd fans in world record attempt

About 68,000 Manchester United fans are due to take part in a world record-breaking attempt at Old Trafford on Saturday afternoon.

In what is being hailed as the world's biggest ever singalong, fans, players, coaches and managers will be expected to sing together and in tune.

The unlikely band will sing the folk song Dirty Old Town in an effort to earn a place in the record books.

An Irish band is to lead the singing. Lyrics will be in the match programme.

Dirty Old Town
By Ewan McColl

I met my love by the gas works wall
Dreamed a dream by the old canal
Kissed a girl by the factory wall
Dirty old town
Dirty old town

Clouds a drifting across the moon
Cats a prowling on their beat
Spring's a girl in the street at night
Dirty old town
Dirty old town

Heard a siren from the docks
Saw a train set the night on fire
Smelled the spring on the smoky wind
Dirty old town
Dirty old town

I'm going to make me a good sharp axe
Shining steel tempered in the fire
Will chop you down like an old dead tree
Dirty old town
Dirty old town

I met my love by the gas works wall
Dreamed a dream by the old canal
Kissed a girl by the factory wall
Dirty old town
Dirty old town
Dirty old town
Dirty old town
