History has taught us two things.
1. Do not invade Russia in winter.
2. Trying to get a song for a player actually onto the terraces is more fun than the above but as about as easy.
So what then of the boy VdV? Early indications are that we have a ‘bit of a player’ on our hands here and he really needs a song or a call at least in recognition of his pretty bloody wonderfulness so far, not to mention his pretty bloody wonderfulnesses that are surely yet to come.
Given the nature of his surname the Fat Les – Vindaloo fits like a glove…
Me and me mum and me dad and me gran we all love van dar vaart,
Me and mum and me dad and me gran have taken ‘im to our heart.
Van der vaart van der vaart van der vaart – Van der vaart la lal
Van der vaart van der vaart van der vaart – Van der vaart la la
Van der vaart van der vaart and we all love – Van der vaart
Were going to score one more than you – – Tottenham!
A chap by the name of Jon Fisher cooked up this little ditty that appeared on 606; to the tune of the old Addams Family theme…
He’s just as good as Hoddle,
He’s better than Chris Waddle,
His Mrs is a model,
He’s Rafael Van Der Vaart!
Right, over to you…
1st
woop woop, i’m really 1st, well chuffed now…… sorry i dont have a song though.
triffic
still no picture for me though.
To tune of Kum By Ar (however that’s spelt)
Van de Vaart is God,
Van de Vaart,
Van de Vaart is God,
Van de Vaart,
Van de Vaart is God,
Van de Vaart
Ooh Aarh,
Van de Vaart
we love you sylvie, we do
ditto
ditto
oh sylvie, we love you!
(oops – wrong van der vaart!)
The one on 606 is pretty good because its short and simple – have you ever been there when someone has tried to start a new chant? – almost always falls completely flat.
The best chants just seem to arrive as if from nowhere (or are stolen from other clubs where they are already successful)
Theirs only ooonnneeee Van Der Vaart!!
Ooonnneeee Van Der Vaart!!
Walking around, with his bag full of tricks,
Walking in the winter wonder land!!
Hoddle’s old song, with a name changed (and also work’s with Modric):
Born is the king of White Hart Lane,
Rafael, Rafael, Rafael, Rafaaaael,
Born is the kiiing of Whiiiite Hart Lane!
(and so on)
