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…

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…
Rafael has brought beauty to the Lane
And his not affraid a plane
He doesn’t need caravan no more
Couse his a Super Joden Pikey Yido
