Might be a bit 'modern' for some... :lol:

To the tune of Blinding Lights by The Weeknd (specifically the chorus - starts at 1.01 on the youtube clip)

I said, ooooooh, he’s bombing down the right
It’s Tariq Lamptey; Tariq, he’s alright
And I said, ooooooh, he’ll always win the fight
It’s Tariq Lamptey; Tariq, he’s alright

Could be followed (or preceded) by the catchy bit (that starts on 17 seconds) by everyone pogoing round singing “derr, derr, der der der der derrr, derr, derr, der der der der derr, Tariq Lamptey! Tariq Lamptey, right!”

Not a chance!

I'm pretty certain that Lamptey and Izquierdo are the two fastest players we've had in the 35+ years I've been watching.

Pre-hamstrung Buckley was probably third.

Lualua in the mix, if the race is over five yards.

No, I meant if the race actually took place ten years ago.

So Noone would be 20 something and Lamptey 9.

I'm finding out I'm not good at comedy.

Lamptey, I love you, come, come, come into my arms
Let me know the wonder of all of you
Lamptey, I want you now, now, now, coz you're so fast
Could this be the Tariq at last?

Lamptey, take me high upon a hillside
High up where The Amex meets the sun
Potter loves you, builds his team around you
Never subs you till the game is won

Lamptey, I love you, come, come, come into my arms
Let me know the wonder of all of you
And Lamptey, I want you now, now, oh, now, oh now coz you're so fast
Could this be the Tariq at last?

This is brilliant.I;d suggest a small change to widen the geographical spread of panic!

Panic on the pitch in Birmingham

To the tune of Joleene by Dolly Parton


Lampty, Lampty, Lampty, Lampty
He’s quicker than my dad’s old transit van
Lampty, Lampty, Lampty, Lampty
He’s quicker than my dad’s old transit van

He gets the ball out on the wing
To a man the Brighton sing
He’s our super star Tariq Lampty
He takes the ball runs past them all
Makes Wilfred Zaha look a fool
And Messi wishes he was Tariq Lampty


Lampty, Lampty, Lampty, Lampty
He’s quicker than my dad’s old transit van
Lampty, Lampty, Lampty, Lampty
He’s quicker than my dad’s old transit van

Don’t bogart that Lamptey my friend,
Pass Tariq over to me,
Don’t bogart that Lamptey my friend
Pass Tariq over to me.

Roll another one,
Just like the other one.
You been holding onto him
And I sure would like a hit!

I will be very surprised if that is NOT ringing round The Amex at our first game back...

Deepest, darkest Sussex
Ta-Tariq Lamptey
Bossing it on our right wing
He came from Chelsea, told them "so long"
Ta-Tariq Lamptey
Crossing it from our right wing
He's come to Brighton where he belongs

To the tune of "I Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You":

Lamptey’s too good to be true
He’ll just take the ball off of you
He’s got a wonderful touch
He runs past you so much

At long last, Tariq’s arrived
And I thank God I'm alive
Lamptey’s too good to be true
He’ll just take the ball off of you

Der der der der der der de de
Der der der der der der de de
Der der der der der der de de
Der der der der der (etc)……….


Oh Tariq Lamptey
You are the love of my life
Oh Tariq Lamptey
You play in Blue & White
Oh Tariq Lamptey
He's faster than Usain Bolt

It’s a good idea, the Knocky song got a lot of fans singing, but I’m not sure about the last two lines.
How about.

We’ve got Lamptey, Tariq Lamptey
I just don’t think you understand
He's got skill he’s got pace
Yves will boot you in the face
We’ve got Tariq Lamptey!

I like it!...a well known tune with just the right amount of aggression :wink:

Tie a yellow ribbon on Tariq Lamptey
It's been three long years since we won 4-3
If I don't see a ribbon on Tariq Lamptey
I'll kick up a fuss, blame it on Gus, put the blame on FG
If I don't see a ribbon on Tariq Lamptey
