Who Ate All the Pies?
"Who Ate All the Pies?" is a football chant sung by fans in Britain. It is usually sung to the tune of "Knees Up Mother Brown" and is aimed at overweight footballers, officials or opposing supporters.
==Background and origin==
In the United Kingdom, fans at football games sometimes eat meat pies before kick-off or at half-time. On occasion there are not enough pies to go round and so any player looking a little overweight gets heckled with the question "Who ate all the pies?".
According to ''The Cat's Pyjamas: The Penguin Book of Cliches'' (ISBN 9780141025162), the "Who ate all the pies?" chant was first sung in 1894 by Sheffield United supporters, and directed at the club's goalkeeper William "Fatty" Foulke, who weighed over .〔
If the tune used was "Knees Up Mother Brown", then it is highly improbable that the chant originated with Foulke, as "Knees Up Mother Brown" was not published until 1938 and Foulke died in 1916. Also, Foulke weighed in 1894, and according to sportswriters of the time, he was "the lengthy one" or "the octopus", and the weight gain came later.
