I wondered if the club could play this song at the next home game in sure it would get the crowd and team going and could become an unofficial anthem at SJP.
Thats a bloody good shout !

Someone named Sweet Caroline as his favourite song on one of those ECFC videos. Think it was Reuben Reid.

Just amazed that the City footballers are interested in a fairly mediocre pop song that even I can barely remember!

come on Sturtz, Sweet Caroline is a classic in the same way as Tom Jones, Delilah or , 'Is the Way to Amarillo'.Several recentish footy chants, 'the Ryan Harley Song' 'Cheer Up Peter Reid' and 'He's One of Our Own' are all based on Cheesy old belters from the 1960s and 70s. They are a bit of fun , easy to sing and memorable.

Keeping the faith.
They play it at half time at matches at Twickenham. Always gets the crowd going without fail. Mind you, most of them are ****ed out of their heads.

AFC Womble fans sing Can't help falling in love with you which sounds magnificent. My inner curmudgeon can't resist the opportunity to compare and contrast this with some of the dirge emanating from the top of the big bank.

On the strength of having seen this video yesterday, when my BiL and I were devising the play list for my Mum's 60th on Saturday last night (she's a borderline Neil Diamond obsessive as it is) Sweet Caroline was the first song that sprung to mind!
