Hartlepool United and Shamrock Rovers football fans also sing this song at matches. A version was sung in the movie 'Trainspotting', and Billy Connolly and Kenny Rodgers have also recorded versions.

Another version was performed by Australian Rolf Harris, and most recently he re-recorded this number with Froncysyllte Male Voice Choir.
