Mee anthem

Post by 1914tyrone » Thu Feb 24, 2022 10:12 pm

10 years and he just gets better, absolute legend. He will be up up there with the greats of our club. It's an honour to have him. He deserves an anthem of a song all to himself.
His morals are something special too.

It's a real shame that Ben Mee still doesn't really have a song that's caught on.

Joey Barton tried to address this by sharing the squad singing a message to you Ben Mee but again didn't catch on. Its a good one too.

Wayne Henessey had a song 45 minutes into his debut and 10 years on our captain and most successful player in over 50 years is still not getting the treatment from our supporters.

It's not too late though...

The Joey Barton one, "A message to you Ben Mee...", was good but it won't catch on because it has more than three words.

To the tune of ‘my old man’s a dustman’

Ben Mee is our captain
He wears the captains band
And if you try to beat him
He’ll put you in the stand
He stops them with his backside
He stops them with his face
Ben Mee is our captain
And we think he’s f##kin ace

Along with Ralph's thoughts on his "He's here, he's there, he's ev'ry f@@kin where", Ben and his family would probably want a more neutral word ;)

He might have to do with the extended ‘Meeee’ which would be ok, along the lines of ‘Vooooot’, who’s only been here two minutes. And it’s Vout as in ‘out’ anyway

I think Vooooot gets it ;)

We're singing the right word, but not necessarily in the right order :lol:

**to the tune of Tom Hark**

A boy from Sale, was born to be,
The captain and leader of our football team,
He ****** off Manchester, cause he loves Burnley,
We all love him too, and his name's Ben Mee
His name's Ben Mee, his name's Ben Mee, we all love him too, and his name's Ben Mee

Nice one Vince. This definitely needs pushing, maybe in a couple of the pubs before home games, or possibly at an away game?

We’ll try it again on Tuesday (in the CFS) see if we can get any takers.
By the way I didn’t make it up so I’m not claiming any credit for it, I heard it before we locked down away at Manchester United I think :P :P

We've got to get this ringing out, he's still got no contract come summer and the more we show him how much he's appreciated the better. We'd be lost without him .
