Egan Riley meets Eton Rifles Could be a cracking song

[Fulwood Dingle]

Great song at Plymouth
The Jam and Eton Rifles sang by a fan on the front row. Tried to help as a huge Jam fan myself
Worth a go at some lyrics
Any poets out there?
Hello-hooray, what a nice day, for the Eton rifles, Eton rifles
Hello-hooray, I hope rain stops play, with the Eton rifles, Eton rifles
Hello-hooray, cheers then mate, its the Eton rifles, Eton rifles
Hello-hooray, an extremist scrape, with the Eton rifles, Eton rifles

[jollyjack]

We were no match for their own tame wit,
though some of the lads said they'd be back next week...

[JohnMac]

I suggested Eton Rifles when he first signed for us.

[ViscountClaret]

Hello-hooray, what great play, from Egan Riley, Egan Riley

[CaptainKirk]

He’s there again, to save the day, Egan Riley, Egan Riley!
or
He wins the ball and sets up play, ER, ER

He’s too good for us, he’ll have to go, ER, ER

His deal is up, he’s going for free, ER, ER

We thought he was poor, now he’s heading for the door, ER, ER

[Tricky Trevor]

ER, ER makes you sound like a donkey.
Egan-Riley to Eton Rifles would be excellent if it can be done.

[HahaYeah]

Just the chorus would be excellent - Egan Riley! Egan Riley!

[Tricky Trevor]

Off thread.
“You’ll never beat James Trafford” could be taken up from the old chant for Des Walker at Forest.

On the Turf today what a great day, Egan Riley - Egan Riley

With his mate STEVE, there's no reprieve, Egan Riley - Egan Riley

Balls from the back for the attack, Egan Riley - Egan Riley

In our defence he is Immense, Egan Riley - Egan Riley

[Fulwood Dingle]

Now we are getting there..

[louieollie]

Would love it if this idea came off , it would sound massive.

Probably would be the first ever football song with the words 'reprieve' and 'immense' in it!

[dougcollins]

Just the chorus would be excellent - Egan Riley! Egan Riley!

Yes -keep it simple.

It really has to be.

[jrgbfc]

Definetely has to be simple for our fans! Might have a chance of taking off then.

Glad someone finally got it going. I too suggested it when he signed. A perfect song for him.

Keep it simple and it might take off.

[Culmclaret]

Yes it did start very briefly at the front at Home Park

[TheFamilyCat]

You'll never get past
Esteve and Trafford
And Egan-Riley, Egan-Riley

[ArmchairDetective]

Hello Hooray
Come and watch him play
It's Egan Riley Egan Riley

[Claretnick]

Hello Horray
What a way to play
For Egan RILEY Egan RILEY

[HahaYeah]

Might as well get the tune up.

[burnmark]

Just keep it simple,

‘Hello hooray
What a nice day for
Egan Riley, Egan Riley!’

Need the club to play these songs at the end of games after a win dependent on the player performance or notable input eg, winning goal, clean sheet etc. Will soon start taking off in the stands.

Stays Quo for Trafford, Wonderwall for Hannibal.

Saw this suggested on Twitter when he signed - great idea:

[jrgbfc]

Probably up to the older lot to try and get it going. The "young uns" won't have a clue what the song is!

[boatshed bill]

A couple of people just in front of me having a great time with it.

[HuncoatClaret]

We got the young uns singing it on the coach going to Stoke, but we couldn't get it to catch on in the ground.

[Spike]

[Quicknick]

I suggested Eton Rifles when he first signed for us.

It was the first thing I thought when we signed him.

[Claretmisterg]

Hello Hooray

Hello Hooray

I’ve been trying to get this going since September

Is he heavily involved in the property market then?

[Vince Fontaine]

Proper not property
Bloody predictive text

[CaptainKirk]

If memory serves, don’t we have an “elected” new song CEO?

[lewishamclaret]

Hello Hooray
There's no way
past Egan-Riley
Egan-Riley

[ArmchairDetective]

If memory serves, don’t we have an “elected” new song CEO?

As laughable now as it was then
