‘Lovin’ Big Ange Instead’ chant inspiration and origins
Ange Postecoglou arrived at Spurs during the summer of 2023 on a four-year deal right after winning a treble-winning season with Celtic. As soon as he arrived, Ange brought a no-nonsense philosophy and a new brand of attacking football, making an immediate impact. Prior to his arrival, fans were already tired of the defensive football under previous managers like Mourinho and Conte. As a result, the emotional shift seemingly inspired the chant, which praises Postecoglou while playfully dismissing his four predecessors.
‘Lovin’ Big Ange Instead’ chant tune
The popular chant uses the melody from Robbie Williams’ iconic hit song ‘Angels’—an anthem in its own right. Although fans have made a clever twist on the tune, it is instantly recognisable and very easy to sing along. In fact, even Robin Williams himself, who has been a lifelong Port Vale supporter, gave the popular chant a thumbs-up after hearing Spurs fans belting it out at games. Williams admitted that he found himself humming along with the song.
