We’ll hit you on the break when we hardly ever threaten
Knocking Prem teams out – 25% possession”
IT’S NOT OFTEN you come across a football-themed rap.
It’s even more rare when you come across one that’s really good.
So, let’s all take a moment and breathe in this work of genius from Ben Bailey Smith – otherwise known as Doc Brown.
The actor and comedian is also pretty nifty when it comes to dropping some rhymes, especially when it comes to his favourite team.
With Crystal Palace preparing for their FA Cup showdown with Manchester United, Smith has come up with an unofficial song for their Wembley decider and it’s terrific.
“When we’re down at Wembley, we ain’t giving up
We want more than the Zenith Data Systems Cup.
See, the spirit of Wright and Bright is back, son.
And Andy Gray…not him – the cool, black one.”
Immense.
Also, check out the subtle but sensationally-retro t-shirt that Smith spots in the video.
‘Fresh Prince of Hilaire’ – that’s a reference to Vince Hilaire who played with the club in the late-1970s and early-1980s.

Wife? 21? Really?
The wags are getting them locked down young
When I was 21 I was blowing shit up in the microwave ala Ian Henderson in a student house
Anthony Martial is married with two kids at 19. She knew…
Coutinho been married since he was 19 too I believe.
Check her out, she’s an absolute lasher. I’d be wifing that at 21 as well.
Image of Bale
Let’s hope he will be as good as Bale !
They say supposedly there’s around 7 people in the world who look exactly like you..
Yip. Lucky enough that mine is Ryan Gosling
:D
He’d make more money as an impersonator
Or even league one. Being on the books at a top prem club then going to league two is a massive drop down
And probably offers us an insight into the actual level that this fella is at. He’s not going to league 2 for any other reason than he didn’t have any other options. He might rebound in a few years but I’ve a feeling that looking like Bale will be as close to a top footballer that he may ever be and I mean that as no slight against him, the odds of making it at the top level of football are in the high millions.
Jamie Vardy. ….
Surely he could have been picked up by a championship club rather than having to drop down to league 2
Why would that be?
You would think that. But here we are.
And york city are in last place
Plot twist, Kenny is actually playing for Madrid and Bale is off to the metropolis of York.
So it was Kenny who got Wales to euro 2016!!!
Give him time, Alan Judge was in a similar situation when Blackburn. Now PL teams are interested in signing him.
Hope ha can play like bale
