Chris Basham(s) for Christmas

[andybrizz]

So, me and Small Brizz were stood in Block 37, at Ashton Gate for the Bristol Shitty match on Saturday and after a while we noticed the bespectacled gentleman on the end of our row was singing, quite loudly, on his own, to himself.

After a number of verses, and a couple of repeats of the whole song, we realised that this gentleman had received Chris Basham, from his true love for every day of the twelve days of Christmas. Every verse was sung all the way up to the twelve "...... on the fourth day of Christmas, my true love sent to me, four Chris Bashams, three Chris Bashams, two Chris Bashams and a Christopher Basham" etc, it was the funniest thing I've seen and heard in a long time!

Did anybody else see him, know him ..... is it somebody on here ?

 

[Rodley]

Needs to be sung regularly

The crime here is that you didn't record it.

Video or didn't happen.

 

[South London Blade]

Was it Maidenhead?

Indeed, schoolboy error!!

Yes, I was stood nearby it was very impressive! I remember one year at Shrewsbury he was singing very loudly for an hour 'Martyn Wooly Wooly Wolford on the wing' whilst doing an aeroplane impression. No one joined in!

Excellent. That other United lot in Manchester have a version featuring “12 Cantonaaaahs”. The gimps obviously plagiarised that from us, too.

Didn't we used to have:

"At number one,
Is Jamie Ward
At number two,
Is Jamie Ward ...

all the way to

We all play for a team of Jamie Wards
A team of Jamie Wards
A team of Jamie Wards ..."

Or summat.

Was that him singing that as well?

Brian Deane is the one I know. But Number 8 is Michael Brown.

On the Basham song. We were singing this one at MK Dons:

His first name is Chris, is Chris, is Chris,
His second name is Basham, is Basham, is Basham
His third name is Bauer, is Bauer, is Bauer
We call him Bashambauer!
Oh, oh, oh, oh, ooooooohhhh

Was it Maidenhead?

The chances of the former Bank Manager being able to count to 12??

I was sat right behind him that night. Strange chap.

 

[Sharrow Snuff Mill]

Anyone remember the bloke at Oldham a few seasons ago who spent much of the second half singing "Please don`t take me home----" on his own ? This was before it became a popular song. First time I`d heard it.

 

[snootyfenooty]

Forget all the stuff about a new striker. It's the next Basham we should be looking for. Because without a Basham, SUFC are not SUFC. To get us started his name should begin with B as in Booker, Brown and Basham.

 

[Groucho Blade]

I remember it as Shipperley...

We all dream of a team of Shipperleys...

 

[BushBlade]

Brian Deane if I remember correctly

Yes, nicked from SISU I think, ‘we all dream of a team of Gary Breens’.

 

[Bath Blade]

I was also there and remember it being the highlight of the night (alongside McEverly playing basketball in our penalty area). They were good days under Adkins.

On the Basham song. We were singing this one at MK Dons:

Under the stand pre kick off by one of their bars?

We joined in too and it is a crying shame that one hasn't caught on.

Good effort, but that tune the chant is to is the worst in football. So I’m out!

Correct. It's a lad I know that started it.

Well he did that day, not sure if he invented it.
