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

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

I suggested Eton Rifles when he first signed for us.

He’s there again, to save the day, Egan Riley, Egan Riley!

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

Egan-Riley to Eton Rifles would be excellent if it can be done.

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

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

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.

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:

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

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.

If memory serves, don’t we have an “elected” new song CEO?
As laughable now as it was then
, it would sound massive.
