[Albion] Oh Alexis...

[Official Old Man]

An all time great in a team of all time greats. One day some old geezer will be on here saying "I was there the first time we had a World Cup Winner playing for us".

 

[Farehamseagull]

Love him.

This. That’s all there is to say.

 

[nicko31]

We all know deep down he won't be with us forever, but what a pro and a true gent

 

[Gazwag]

Many of us can remember being there when Beckham made his debut - I'm so pleased I can say I was there when Alexis made his debut

 

[Kalimantan Gull]

What the hell is that song? !

Was it the Wolves away game just before lockdown? If so me too - put a free kick just over the bar near the end of the game(he’d only just come on)

Where Seagulls Fly - Johnny Wakelin

I know many people regarded this as a naff oddball song in 1983, but I've always loved it. As we approach the 20th anniversary of leaving The Goldstone, I thought it was worth rolling this out again.

If the masses could learn and sing that song it would sound pretty epic, like our version of that Sheffield greasy chip butty song

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

Quite a few years ago I used that song on a YT video I made, and the powers that be promptly shut my YT account down for copyright infringement, and refused to reinstate it. I lost all my videos, I don't delete videos from my PC any more. As it happens, I still have the single.

I got permission from Johnny Wakelin to use it on the version I made on YouTube (Bozza linked to it in an old thread above). It sounds to me like Ali Mac's social folks have used my recording (crackles and all! - My record is in terrible condition).

I think we could do a version of it, even if it was just a simple "Where seagulls fly, there stannd I". On repeat.

I know it's a naff song, but it does give me goosebumps.

 

[TWOCHOICEStom]

I thought the guys who wrote the GLORY OF READING song had another release after hearing that. Never heard it before.

And to think he may not even win our player of the season this year.

Thats an interesting one. My vote would probably go to March but there are about 5 or 6 players in the running.

If it’s a public vote, then I expect Mitoma will win due to his global profile.

Yes it was, the last away trip before lockdown

Last few league games plus the cup like to hugely influence the outcome……..completely agree 5/6 in the running atm, with cases able to be made for even more. On my list Caicedo, Ali Mac, Groß, Dunk, March, Veltman, Mitoma…….but a load of Fergie goals now for example could easily swing it. Shows how strong the team/squad ethic is that there are so many up there. Remarkable stuff.

I believe you are referring to the Manchester United debut of David Blackham
