    Perhaps players other than the Cookie Monster would score more goals if they also had a song about them.

    Here's one for Matt Derbyshire. To the tune of:
    Bread of heaven
    Bread of heaven
    Feed me till I want no more
    Feed me till I want no more

    We have:
    Matthew Derbyshire
    Matthew Derbyshire
    Mighty Matty scores again
    Mighty Matty scores again

    Let's hope we get to sing it before the end of the season!

    Would it help if people knew the tune for Bread of Heaven?

    I’ve just googled it - if you’d said to the tune of ‘You’re not fit to referee’, I’d have got it!

    It's not actually called Bread of Heaven. That's the chorus, but the hymn it's taken from is called Guide Me Oh Thou Great Redeemer.
    Bloody Philistines on here :whistle:

    Interesting. I'd never heard that alternate title for the hymn. It was always Redeemer, not Jehova in schools and churches in my neck of the woods.

    In Wales and especially in the South Wales it is Guide Me Oh Thou Great Jehovah.

    MH would love it, if the Bradford City faithful started belting out the CWM Rhondda to the players. I can’t seem to get a recording of the Welsh Treorchy Male Voice Choir from uTube without earring aids adverts;)
