A while ago Newtonards FC were playing a match against Ballycastle junior farmers, in the Irish Cup. The crowd was about one hundred in total.

Nearby, a pie baking competition was being held. A man called Douglas Saulters had taken first place beating his rival, Bernie Botmann. He was angered at the judges decision and stormed out of the contest. He drove to the football ground to calm down. However, still fuming, he began to throw his pies onto the pitch.

McCreadie, the Ballycastle forward, who was a bit chubby, halted an attack to bend over and sample one of the pies. Suddenly the crowd began to chant :

'Who ate all the pies? Who ate all the pies? You fat b**tard. You fat b**tard. Who ate all the pies?'

And that's how the famous song originated.
