The Banana Splits

By ghost of mensforth -
I remember the song 'sung' by Kenton Bar fans at games in the Bagnall Cup was
"Kenton Bar, Tra-la-la-la,
Kenton Bar, Tra-la-la-la"

This was taken from the chorus of opening theme tune of the popular kids tv show at the time, 'The Banana Splits'...here are the lyrics of the first verse and chorus I am wittering on about:

One banana, two banana, three banana four,
four bananas make a bunch and so do many more.
Over hill and highway the banana buggies go
Coming on too bring you the banana splits show

Making up a mess of fun,Making up a mess of fun
Lots of fun for everyone
Tra-la-la,la-la-la-la,
Tra-la-la,la-la-la-la,


I can't remember what the other school teams sang...anyone?

Here is a photo I found during more extensive research in a library... I remember the football team played for the 'Bagnall Cup' and played 'derbys' v St Cuthbert’s and also v Mountfield, North Fawdon, Wyndham, Montague and Snow Street (we and everyone else always thrashed Snow Street at least 12-0-their home pitch was at an angle of 45 degrees...) Note the' flag pennants' which were inspired by the Leeds United strip from the 1973-74 season on the socks of some of the kids in the front row...these had the numbers of the players on. the 10 first team players are all wearing the blue top with yellow hoop:the' subs' are wearing... whatever! It looks like they must have won the Bagnall cup that year! Anyone recognise themselves or any of the players?... (The tecka is Mr Brownlaw, a true gentleman...)
