If you’ve ever sat in a football stadium, especially as a Gooner, you know chants can make the atmosphere electric. One chant that’s caught my attention recently is the “chant, gyokere, made by gooner, gyok.” It’s quirky, infectious, and has a rhythm that sticks with you long after the game ends.
What’s the “Chant, Gyokere, Made by Gooner, Gyok” All About?
It all started on Reddit, where over 1,000 Gooners (that’s Arsenal supporters for the uninitiated) came together and made this chant for a player named Gyokeres. The chant goes something like:
> GYOK GYOK GYOK GYOK (Skibidi top beat like rhythm)
> White and Creamy!
> GYOK GYOK GYOK GYOK!
> Spit on his Thang!
> GYOK GYOK GYOK GYOK
> Swallow it all!
>
> Chorus:
> There’s only one gyok gyok
> glory glory our gyok gyok
> glory glory gyok gyok gyok
> gyok gyok gyok gyok gyok gyok, gyok gyok!
Confusing? Maybe. Fun? Absolutely!
The chant is playful and has an unusual beat inspired by a viral rhythm known as “Skibidi top beat,” which adds an energetic punch to each line. It’s a great example of how fans get creative and show love for their players in memorable ways.
Who Is Gyokeres?
Alexander Isak Gyokeres (or just Gyokeres, as fans call him) is a football player who captured the hearts of many Arsenal fans. When a crowd starts chanting for a specific player, it means they admire his style, hustle, or the moments of magic he brings on the pitch. This chant is a fan-made tribute to that appreciation.
