Title: Player songs
Post by: Bob's Orange on Wednesday, July 17, 2019, 07:54:33
I know this topic has been done before but I was listening to a podcast this morning which was talking about player songs and it got me thinking that we literally have no player songs anymore (I think the one for LV was probably the only one that comes to mind).

Surely we can do better this season. My initial thoughts:

Kayne Woolery surely lends itself to be worked into the celery song?
(shamelessly stolen from Forest to the tune of What is Love, Haddaway who sing this for their new manager Sabri Lamouchi) " "What is Love, Mathieu Baudry, Mathieu Baudry, J'adore"

Amazing what the mind does on a commute to work!

Woolery, Woolery...if we can't score then give the ball to that man Woolery...

If Doyle signs....He scores, hes red, he talks like Father Ted (unashamedly stolen from Liverpool)

If Theo Robinson signs....Here's to you Theo Robinson, Swindon loves you more than you will know (again not copyrighted!)

Sunday, Monday, Woolery
Tuesday, Wednesday, Woolery
Thursday, Friday, Woolery
Saturday, Woolery, scoring all week with you...

Ellis Iandolo scans very nicely along with Danny Nedelko, and would be a cracking football chant

I remember some stealing that from Southampton and trying to adapt it for Wayne Allison. Didn't catch on. At least Theo is a Robinson!

That almost made me vomit all over my phone. Bravo!

Now that is brilliant. If only you could incorporate more of the song, and have the town end singing, "my blood brother is an immigrant".

The full song...

Happy Days
Sunday, Monday, Happy Days,
Tuesday, Wednesday, Happy Days,
Thursday, Friday, Happy Days,
Saturday, what a day,
Rockin all week with you.
This day is ours
Won't you be mine. (Oh Happy Days)
This day is ours (Oh Happy Days)
Oh please be mine.
Hello sunshine, goodbye rain,
She's wearing my high school ring on her chain.
She's my steady, I'm her man,
I'm gonna love her all I can.
Gonna cruise her round the town,
Show everybody what I've found
Rock'n'roll with all my friends
Hopin' the music never ends.
These Happy Days are yours and mine (oh Happy Days)
These Happy Days are yours and mine (oh Happy Days)
These Happy Days are yours and mine, Happy Days.

Yeah I know its awful but it made me chuckle when it sort of fitted Woolery.

These days are ours
Share them with me.(Oh baby)

Goodbye grey sky, hello blue,
there's nothing can hold me when I hold you.
feels so right you can't be wrong,
rockin' and rollin' all week long.

Saturday, what a day
Groovin' all week with you

Possibly the awards for the most factually incorrect songs ever!

It wouldn't scan but more appropriate for him would be the bitter revision to the Andy Cole song scored by the Newcastle Fans after he went to Man U.

Woolery is still currently the highest scoring striker at the club ;) and most experienced games wise!

Woolery 125 games 21 goals.
Yates 91 games 18 goals.
Anderson 120 games 17 goals.
Twine 24 games 4 goals.

I think we need a couple of goalscoring strikers TBH!

I was thinking the same while I read them!

We do need a couple of strikers badly.

Crazy bad.

That’s 218 games more and 13 goals less than Sam Parkin managed at Town.

How many of those games were playing as a striker though? Not many for any bar Twine.

True, also how many sub appearances & if so how long on the pitch, quality of team mates, penalty taker, free kick taker & so on...

Still crap records for an attacking player even without the added context


Title: Re: Player songs
Post by: jayohaitchenn on Friday, July 19, 2019, 06:06:00
Parkin got 11 goals in 62 games before Swindon, similar record to Yates.

Well, I expect a debut hat trick from Yates then...

Has any team used baby shark yet?

I propose:

Jerry Yates, doo doo doo doo doo doo,
Jerry Yates, doo doo doo doo doo doo,
Jerry Yates, doo doo doo doo doo doo,
JERRY YATES etc.

 Yates should get the nickname Rowdy, and then the Rawhide song could be sung.  A retro nod back to "Bronco" Layne
