Por este motivo, cada vez que los mineros Bizkainos picaban y hallaban una nueva veta gritaban eufóricos "¡alirón, alirón!".... a lo que no tenemos más que añadir que...el Athletic campeón.
At the end of century 19th, in the iron mines of Bizkaia, when an iron vein of extreme purity was found, the engineer of the mine would shot "ALL IRON" and the miners would be paid extra.
For this reason, every time the miners of Bizkaia cut the stone and found a new vein they would shout happily "aliron!,aliron!"....Expression which has became the cheer of the Athletic Club of Bilbao.
