You must have heard the Club Cry at various Mob Matches
and functions, but do you know when it originated?
BLACKHEATH
HARRIERS' GAZETTE AND CLUB RECORD
Number 23, July
1900
A GREAT IDEA.
At the A.A.A Championship one of the most
noticeable things was the College Cry of the Pennsylvania men. Why
not institute one of our own ready for Ratcliff's Championship?
How would this go? - |

"Black-lack-lack-lack,
Black-lack-lack-lack,
Black-lack-lack-lack,
Black-heath" |

It will be rehearsed at West
Wickham, after dinner, on August 14th [1900].

So now you know!
