I've been thinking about this for a while and thought if it's for Big Dave how about using Waltzing Matilda as a guide tune? I was thinking along the lines of " Waltzing Fifita Waltzing Fifita, he'll go waltzing through you with ease, don't ever mess with Fifita he's the prop with all the Bop he'll go waltzing through you with ease"
Not great I know but it works OK I think, it's a traditional song originating way back in the 1890's, lots of people are familiar with it but if you're not there are a few versions to listen to on Youtube.

I like this too
Lots of team here an in aus use old team songs

Leeds RL a prime example with marching on together

I think they tried it a few years ago but it’s a fairly old obscure song. What I’d do is if we get a cup run ie to the final, do it as a team recording changing the words. I’m sure we could record it very cheaply these days and it may even be out of copyright.

Play it over the tannoy pre game and after a victory and it will take off. It’s a lot to expect a song many are unfamiliar with and has no actual word as such and is relatively complex to take off without a little help. In no Simon Cowell but that’s how I see it.

I remember it being tried a bit when I were a lad in the late 70s, but it was a Fev song then because of the late great Steve Quinn.

I knew Manfred Mann's version but I didn't realise it was a Bob Dylan song.

It should be our "sweet caroline"

Any budding lyricists fancy a go at adapting the verses?

The Mighty Quinn (Quinn the Eskimo)
Bob Dylan
Everybody's building the big ships and the boats
Some are building monuments
Others jotting down notes
Ev'rybody's in despair
Every girl and boy
But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here
Ev'rybody jumps for joy
Come all without, come all within
You'll not see nothing like the mighty Quinn
I like to do just like the rest
I like my sugar sweet
But guarding fumes and making haste
It ain't my cup of meat
Everybody's just standin' around 'neath the trees
Feeding pigeons on a limb
But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here
Then pigeons will go to him
Come all without, come all within
You'll not see nothing like the mighty Quinn
Now, let me take credit due
I can recite them all
Just tell me where it hurts you
And I'll tell you who to call
Nobody can get any sleep
There's someone on everybody's toes
When Quinn the Eskimo gets here
Ev'rybody's gonna doze
Come all without, come all within
You'll not see nothing like the mighty Quinn
Come all without, come all within
You'll not see nothing like the mighty Quinn
Songwriters: Bob Dylan

One for MCB nice and simple just sing his name to knees up mother brown!
Ive the copy rightes thow

Mighty Quin song came out late sixties before the player Steve Quin played, they were singing it at WAKEY ground well before Steve Quin, I was there with the lads under the old wood score board & behind those goal
Posts ! Also in the early sixties before kick off Telstar record was played at every match !
All facts,
However my favourite was when chanting of champions was done/carried out by all supporters as we were champions then & went on to be double champions consecutively ! But what price memories, I wou!d love to see us win something again in my life time, up the Trin !

Trin Trin bang on there.
‘Mighty Trin’ is what we sang after ‘Mighty Quin’ hit for Manfred Mann.

Ooh ahh Fifita! Ooh ahh Fifita! Ooh aah ooh ahh ooh aah Fifita!


We'll drink a drink a drink
To David the King the King the King
He's the leader of our rugby team
He's the greatest
Prop forward
That the world has ever seen

So, time to revive this old favourite?

[/i[iVerse 2
[/iI like to go just like the rest, I like my East Stand seat
No jumping queues and blocking views, just eatin’ pies wi’ meat
Everyone's beneath the trees, Tommy Johnstone's on the wing
But when Dave Fifita gets good ball, all defenders’ gonna run to him

[iChorus 3
[/iCome all without, come all within
You'll not see nothing like the mighty Trin
Come all without, come all within
You'll not see nothing like the mighty Trin

[iVerse 3
[/iLet me do what I wanna do, I came to see 'em all
Chez tells you where he’ll put 'em and I'll tell you who to call
Nobody can get no sleep, there's someone on everyone's toe
But when Pauli runs to the North Stand, everybody's gonna wanna know

[iChorus 4[/i [i(Repeat to Fade)[/i
Come all without, come all within
You'll not see nothing like the mighty Trin
Come all without, come all within
You'll not see nothing like the mighty Trin
