RIP Stanno, City Legend never to be forgotten
To be sung at Darlo on the opening day of our new season in the Football League. :)

To the tune of Volaré: -

"Rob Edwards, wo-oah
Rob Edwards wo-oh-oh-oah
He tore apart Torquay
Then scored at Wemberlee
Rob Edwards, wo-oah
Rob Edwards wo-oh-oh-oah
He tore apart Torquay
Then scored at Wemberlee, etc, etc."

"Steve Tully, wo-oah
Steve Tully wo-oh-oh-oah
Said f*ck on live TV
Whilst stood next to Logie
Steve Tully, wo-oah
Steve Tully wo-oh-oh-oah
Said f*ck on live TV
Whilst stood next to Logie, etc, etc." (changed this one from the original by FBH)

and finally;

"Potatoes, wo-oah
Potatoes wo-oh-oh-oah
They're round like Lee Phillips
You fry them to make chips
Potatoes, wo-oah
Potatoes wo-oh-oh-oah
They're round like Lee Phillips
You fry them to make chips, etc, etc."

To the tune of My Old Man's a Dustman: -

"Paul Tisdale’s a Grecian
He wears a Grecian hat
Ted Baker shirt and trousers
And a stylish red cravat

The greatest football gaffer
We won at Wemberlee
Promotion from the Blue Square
Back to the Football League!"

To the tune of the 'Ronaldo' song (sung by Man U fans): -

"He runs down the left
He runs down the ri-ii-iight
Our Adam Stansfield
Makes defenders look sh*te"

Not sure of the tune: -

"Where be that panther to
i knows where he be
he be on yon footy pitch
running rings round thee
you sees e and he sees thee
your buggered if you cant catch im
cos wiv a gert big kick e scores a goal
that panther will ave e."

Any more for any more? :)

The anticipation for the new season is reaching new heights IMO......

Man U's version is "That boy Ronaldo" (5 syllables)

"Our Adam Stansfield" is also 5 syllables, so it works perfectly. :)

Thanks Ian.

I've just looked it up on Youtube: -

We could also add "la la la la la la, la la la la la la, E, C, F, C, OK!" at the end.

Nice to have a sub-editor to, err, improve things...

Incidentally, the potatoes thing was a joke response when asked for a song about 'King Edwards'.

But we should have an idiosyncratic song. Bit like Notts County's wheelbarrow song.

Happy for them to be revised back, further, etc. :)

I know it was, but I actually like it - I also like the fact they we'd have a song that we'd know the origin of, but when someone else listened to it they'd be trying to work what it was and why we were singing it......

I'm really hoping this potato-based theme will take off. It's always nice to celebrate a food stuff; whether it be a purple pineapple or a king edward, I think this could gather some momentum.

Anyway, how about a song for POTY Matt Taylor? I was thinking about something around the drunken sailor/Stuart Naylor sea chanty...

What will you do with our Matty Taylor?
What will you do with our Matty Taylor?
What will you do with our Matty Taylor?
From a tricky corner
Way-hey up he rises,
Way-hey up he rises,
Way-hey up he rises,
Our defending goalscorer

'Defending goalscorer' is a bit naff, I know. Any suggestions?

I like it.

But may I suggest replacing "from a tricky corner" with "when we get a corner", and the last bit is a bit naff (it's got 1 too many syllables), but I can't think of anything to replace it right now...... :(
