Like it Vegas. Especially if the whole ground sung “it’s CJ Egan Riley”, that’d sound good.

No originals. You can choose from the following:

Do do do do, Egan Riley

Egan Riley's on fire, your attack is terrified.

There's only one Egan Riley.

Egan Riley, Egan Riley, he drinks Boddingtons and shops at Morrisons he hates ******* rovers

Robbie Williams - Rock DJ

I don't want to rock, CJ
But you're making me feel so nice
No one’s gonna stop, CJ
'Cause you're keepin' them out all night

Or end with:

He’s our centre back on the right

I'm not a fan of player songs for defenders. Its the attacking players who bring the flair and get the crowd going so I think its only right that they should get the adulation of the fans and that includes the player songs

Not a chance cause at the back
it's CJ Egan Riley
Brightly shone the Turf Moor lights
For the Rovers duel
Beating them is our delight
Over them we ru-uu-le

Hither wage and stand by me
Rovers pay no longer
Venkys have the strong room key
Write-down makes them stronger
Chicken wings for lunch my wage
While you have no dwelling
There's a club just miles away, where
hope and pride are swe-e-lling

CJ Egan-Riley, Egan-Riley

All jokes aside surely it has to be one of the versions of Eton Rifles.

Though I'd love to hear the Turf Moor faithful singing Good King Wenceslas in harmony.

Ok what about the refrain from Lost in France going...

Ooh, la-la-la, ooh, la-la defence
Ooh, la-la-Egan-Riley
Stomp stomp
repeat

Ooh, la-la-Egan-Riley
