Gordon Greer - Rock Star!

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Hopefully not fixtures...

This is Strachan on Gordon Greer's performance last night, as quoted on the BBC website:

"Gordon Greer is fantastic. He looks nothing like a footballer; he looks like a rock star turning up at a testimonial game.
"And he's absolutely fantastic.

Its something like quadruple 'fixtures', but a magnificent quote, worthy of its own thread anyway!

Strachan was particularly effusive in his praise for his defence, especially Brighton's Gordon Greer, who replaced the injured Grant Hanley.

"Gordon Greer is fantastic. He looks nothing like a footballer; he looks like a rock star turning up at a testimonial game.

"And he's absolutely fantastic. I thought his partner [Russell Martin] did well and Steven Whittaker

Phew!

Clearly Strachan is a Biffy fan.

We like him, we like him, we li-li-li like him

We li- li- li- like him

We li-li-li like

Gordon Gre-er

Rocking all over the pitch.

What sort of rockstar though? Rock God vocalist, posing axe hero or a solid standing at the back rythym guitar/bass player type?

Hey now your a Rock star. Gordon Greer, go play,
Hey now your a Rock star. Gordon Greer , get paid,
Not all that glitters is gold
Only shooting starts to break the mould.

Not very good, but I tried.

 

[Fef]

yup. Done a few gigs with GG - we once sold out the LA Coliseum.

Altogether now North Stand:

'Cause we all just wanna be big rockstars
And live in hilltop houses driving fifteen cars
The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap
We'll all stay skinny 'cause we just won't eat'

Player ratings on BBC:
Gordon Greer 8

He slotted into the defence exceptionally well beside Russell Martin and formed a very good partnership with the Norwich man. Looked solid throughout.

Both 'ours'.

Well played lads.

Cos Greer looks just like a big rock star
Sideways move from Swindon, has took him far
The girls come easy, cos he's ****ing fit
He's Gordon Greer, and he takes no shit.

Charlie Watts style of drummer if you ask me.

Gordon Greer, being the big strapping lad that he is, immediately makes me think of Led Zeppelin's "Immigrant Song" in musical terms. I'm sure someone a lot cleverer than moi can download a version and/or the lyrics.
