Hi guys,
You may be aware that ex fame academy star Alisdair Griffiths released his own cover of Leonard Cohen's hit 'Hallelujah' a few years back. However, his version centred around Australian hitman Mark Viduka and his time spent at Middlesbrough.
In turn, I have penned two little numbers in similar vain dedicated to two of my favourite unfashionable premiership stars.
The first tells the tale of Stoke City and their prized asset Rory Delap.
The second revolves around the much adored Jimmy Bullard and describes a match against London rivals West Ham - the team Jimmy was binned by as a youngster.
Let me know what you all think!
Rory Delap
Stoke City have arrived in town
Pulis wears his cap as a crown
And he will reign on strongly rule Britannia
There is no hope, their doomed to fail
But Tony’s got the Holy Grail
Defences wield to the might of Rory Delap
Rory Delap Rory Delap
Rory Delap Rory Delap
The premier league, where they belong
All the plaudits, all the gongs
Ricardo Fuller’s earring sparkles brightly
In spite of the critics they rose to the top
Despite the claims the team would flop
The missile throw of their boy Rory Delap
Rory Delap Rory Delap
Rory Delap Rory Delap
Dave Kitson demands a first team role
But come on ginge, you can’t buy a goal
The crowd cheers loud when TP decides to hook ya
The clock ticks down, Bolton are one up
We a need a throw-in to the lift the cup
Megson’s heart sinks at the sight of Rory Delap
Rory Delap Rory Delap
Rory Delap Rory Delap
Jimmy Bullard
Craven Cottage shouts his name
He takes to the pitch, his hair aflame
Watch out Bowyer, our boy’s about to do ya
The whistle sounds, the game starts
The Fulham roar is bursting with heart
Epitomised by the much loved Jimmy Bullard
Jimmy Bullard Jimmy Bullard
Jimmy Bullard Jimmy Bullard
The tackles fly, there’s chances galore
Dyers dives, he hits the floor
Roy Hodgson shakes his head in disillusion
The board is up, 3 minutes to play
Free kick awarded, let us all pray
The spotlight shines on the saviour Jimmy Bullard
Jimmy Bullard Jimmy Bullard
Jimmy Bullard Jimmy Bullard
He sets himself, a bag of nerves
He’s come along way since West Ham reserves
Danny Murphy gives an inspiring nod of approval
He strikes the ball as sweet as a nut
Like Tiger Woods holing a winning putt
The stadium announcer cries hail Jimmy Bullard
Jimmy Bullard Jimmy Bullard
