Did we actually get him free from Derby?

I really don’t mind factually incorrect songs once we don’t have to sing about Conor Sammon, Che Adams, Marc McNulty & Diego De Girolamo anymore!!

Right Meath - am on it - how about....

Oh, we aint got a hundred million Eur-oh
We aint got Sammon, McNulty or De Girolam-oh
But with Paul-ee-oh Coutts, a centre mid from Frank Lampards Derby County
Yooo-nite-ted

I think the end needs some work, but the facts are there

It's not like terrace chants to be accurate but this one, as far as I can tell, is completely wrong:

[pedant]
Oh ey oh, second name is Couttsy
it's not. It's Coutts
Oh ey oh, signed him free from Derby
We paid a fee for him
Oh ey oh, he never gives the ball away
He does on occasion, just not as often as some
[/pedant]

ps I Coutts

 

[super_pig]

I was sure we paid a fee for him

Can we re-write the song?

"Got him for an undisclosed nominal fee from Derby in a double deal with Freeman, plus agent fees and a small signing on fee

....he never gives the ball awaaaaaay"

spoilsport.. anyway never let facts get in the way of a good story mate .. i don't think jack charlton is dead either

"From Frank Lampards Derby"
Would actually work in the song.

as well as being a great pisstake

Exactly

Rubbish, they've always been Frank Lampard's Derby County.

I remember when I was a kid, reading tales of Francis Lee, Dave Mackay and the rest playing for Frank Lampard's Derby County.

Indeed, Frank Lampard is an anagram of Mcfarland.
(its not, its not)

Pedantic but Fat Frank wasn't at Derby when we signed Coutts.

Nor is Frank fat.
