Chris Billy Chant

Hello,

Trying to track down all the verses for the Chris Billy chant for an episode of my podcast tonight and I’m struggling to remember them all..

Thierry Henry
Zidane
Pele
George best
Alan Shearer

I remember verses being based on them, but remember there were others for like Lampard, Gerrard and Billy going to the Germany.

Any help would be great 👍

I don't remember the later verses.

"Thierry Henry, Thierry Henry
You're not as good as Chris Billy.

Zidane, Zidane - it's time to retire
Coz Chris Billy is the new messiah."

On a separate note, the pinnacle of my chant introduction was the "who needs Cantona when we've got David Reeves" number at Springfield Park, Wigan in November 1993.

I was good mates with a Manchester City fan at the time and had picked up on the "who needs Cantona when we've got David White" chant their fans used at the time. I was waiting for the moment Reeves scored next and he bagged one (along with Darren Edmondson I think) in a 2-0 away win that day - the chant came out and the rest is history. It was hardly original, but when something you start catches on with the supporters and is regaled up and down the country (and at a full-ish old Wembley) it's certainly something you remember.

The second scorer was Andy Flounders, my memory got the better of me.
