1) Man Citeh replay in FA Cup 1995. Losing 2-0. The city fans endlessly singing “Cos after all/ You’re my Alan Ball” we would occasionally retort with “after all/ you’re gonna win fuck all”.
Anyway at that moment I was inspired by the Oasis/Blur rivalry to hit back at the Rusholme Ruffians with the following (to the tune of Country House)
oh, we’ve got Big Ron
and we love Dion
We’re Coventry
We play in SkyBlue
And we’re better than you
We’re Coventry.
I didn’t really expect to be acclaimed for my wit and wisdom by being raised shoulder height by the SBA in recognition of my zeitgeist capturing moment. Wisely as all that happened was silence.
... absolute tumbleweed.
Never ever tried anything like it since.
2) someone on GMK in the Mowbray season suggested the following work of genius. Afraid I can’t remember who it was (and all of the details) but it was a cracker. To the tune of The Killers’ Mr Brightside.
Lee Burgey/ Chris Stokes is our number 3/ (Something abt Willis and Reda Johnson by his side/ captain Ricketts will abide/)
O’Brien, Fleck and Vincelot
Maddison has got the lot
Armstrong and Ramieras wide
We’re League One’s best side!
Obviously it never got sung.
