Sorry if this has already been discussed but what are the lyrics to the Alfie May song sung on Tuesday? My daughter asked me what they were but that was the first time I had heard them.

    I don't know, but not a fan of these complicated player songs. Give me a "Super, super Clive" any day of the week.

    I've been trying to piece it together too. I think the final bit is - "He looks good, he looks fine, Alfie May is on my mind and he's Charlton's number 9"

    Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do

    Going past defenders, scoring one or two

    He looks good, he looks fine

    Alfie May is on my mind

    And he's Charlton's number 9...

    Decent little chant but very much ticking the CAFC boxes of 1) Copying a flavour of the month chant sung by multiple clubs and 2) Sung so fast you can barely join in.

    Enjoy the song but agree with you on point 2 - it’s mad how fast Valley Floyd Road is sung now, especially when you hear it at Nottingham

    Christ, comes across as some chant cheerleaders would sing at an American football game.

    I can't cope with all these modern tunes from the hit parade being used as chants  ;)

    It used to be a slow & haunting ballad and now it's a techno club banger.

    Quite agree, I think we should be chanting to the tunes of sea shanties and Britten operas...

    I used to be in the same class as Manfred Mann's daughter.
    Me mate's going out with a girl whose previous fellow was the bass player in Manfred Mann's Earthband. 
    Oh no idea what the song says it's all too fast for us old blokes.

    The Manfreds did a decent enough cover of the Exciters song.

    What about before the match, all the players walk out except May, Red Red Robin stops and Brian Cole goes

    'I say Alfie, you say!'  and we belt out 'May' 

    We do this repeatedly till it speeds up so much that Alfie and May no longer sound like words. 

    Then we all start the 'oooohhhhhhhhh' 

    Alfie May comes out doing a tunnel jump at full sprint
