G'day sports fans,

With the EPL kicking-off this weekend, I thought we'd revisit some of the best player chants (the ones I can put in print at 6:30am, anyway).

Bobby Zamora (QPR) 'When you're sat in Row Z / and the ball hits your head / that's Zamora.' (to the tune of Dean Martin's 'That's Amore')

John Terry (Chelsea) 'Chelsea, Chelsea, wherever you may be, Don't leave your wife with John Terry. His dad deals c*ke, His mum steals tea, He cried when he missed a penalty...'

Both Chelsea fans and rivals singing about John Terry after his affair with Wayne Bridge's ex-girlfriend. This popular one is sung to the tune of Lord Of The Dance.

Jamie Carragher (Liverpool) 'He's red, he's sound, he's banned from every ground, Carra's dad, Carra's dad.'

This catchy one was sung by Liverpool fans about Jamie Carragher's father, who was once arrested at a match for being drunk.
