Entertainment For Lively Minds
Shall we sing a song for you?
In an attempt to bring a little cheer to Victoria Park on matchdays, the heirarchy at Hartlepool United have decided that each player will get their own tune played over the tannoy when they score.
We already have "I Feel Good" for when James Brown scores (made popular by Sir Jeff Of Stelling) and the theme to "The Sweeney" when Anthony Sweeney slots one in the back of the onion bag. I'm hoping that there is a bag-pipe version when Leon McSweeney pops up with a 25 yard-drive...
As for the others, well, I'm struggling. So I thought I'd get the Word massive (prefer the term 'collective' myself, but never mind...) to help.
Please could you come up with your suggestions for the following players?:
Neil Austin
Sam Collins
Ritchie Humphreys
Garry Liddle
Ben Clark
Ritchie Jones
Denis Behan
Adam Boyd
Andy Monkhouse
Johnny Rowell
David Foley
Michael Mackay
Jon-Andre Friedriksen
Alan Power
Matty Tymon
Peter Hartley
EDIT
New signing!

Jon-Andre Friedrikson
Surely you use La Donna e mobile for him?
Let it be for Denis Behan...
"Denis B, Denis B
Denis B Denis B
Denis Denis Behan
Denis B"
Well...
Snap's "I got the Power" when yer man Power scores
err...
"Watch out, there's a Humphrey about" (if there indeed is such a song) when Richie H scores....
..all a bit 'nu-fan' though, isn't it, all this?
We have none of this nonsense at Goodison when a goal is scored.
Not that that's such a common occurrence anyway...
Power of Love
by Jennifer Rush, surely.
Axel F
Axel F for David Foley surely?
Garry Liddle
Ooh, Ah, Just a LIDDLE Bit by Gina G.
Didn't have you pegged...
... as a fan of Eurovision, Fraser?
Each to their own, I suppose!
Possibly
More of a fan of Gina G?
Ritchie Jones
to the tune of the Vapors' Jimmie Jones
Rowell, Rowell, Row your boat gently down the stream...
Peter Hartley
could have something by the Jam.
Andy Monkhouse should surely have the exciting brassy theme music to "Bob's Full House" in honour of his surname - it's on Youtube if you can't remember it
"Monky"
should surely be serenaded by the Funky Gibbon?
Some suggestions
Neil Austin - Theme from Six Million Dollar Man
Sam Collins - the drum roll from 'In The Air Tonight'
Ritchie Humphreys - Theme from Are You Being Served, with a crowd response of 'I'm free!'
Gary Liddle - 'Li(dd)le Arrows' by Leapy Lee
Ben Clark - 'Last Train To Clarksville' by The Monkees
Ritchie Jones - 'Casey Jones' or 'Janie Jones'
Denis Behan - 'Denis' by Blondie
Johnny Rowell - 'Johnny Johnny' by Prefab Sprout
David Foley - 'Soley Soley' by Middle Of The Road, suitably adapted
Jon-Andre Friedriksen - 'There Is Nothing Like A Da(n)e'
Alan Power - 'Power To The People' or 'Power To All Our Friends'
Matty Tymon - 'Time On My Side' by The Stones
Peter Hartley - 'Jammin' by Bob Marley
And of course if Neil and Alan combine for a goal, it has to be...the Theme from Austin Powers.
Round of applause
Nice ideas, Mikhail.
I particularly like the idea of 4,500 northerners chanting "I'm Free!" should Hartlepool United's Player Of The Century score.
I also like the one for Mr. Friedriksen, but sadly our foreign friend is Norwegian... (you were not to know)
You're my king and I'm in heaven every time I look at you
Denis Behan - Blondie - Denis Denis.
"Killer" by Adamski might be a nice touch anytime Adam Boyd makes his way into the area and puts one away.
When I'm 64
For Ritchie Humphreys.
In fairnes, he must be what, a million years old now?
A sprightly 31...
... and still going strong.
nu-footy fans
please dont encourage this sort of behaviour
