Nathan Craig is magic,
He wears a magic hat,
And when he saw the Torquay,
He said I fancy that.
We play him on the left wing,
We play him down the right,
And when teams come to Plainmoor,
He gives them quite a fright.

To the tune of My Old Man is a refuse collection operative.

To be fair Matt, your offering is a real attempt for the attainment of perfection but the only thing that lets it down is the final line............he gives them quite a fright! Forgive me mate but it's too camp. There must be another word that rhymes with fright that can be incorporated into the final line so that we all don't sound like Kenneth Williams. What about sight, fight, bite or might? Other than that it's got potential. I don't wish to further pass urine onto your wonderfully crafted bonfire but monkeyboy's effort is the way to go. Simple and comedic, a bit like my good self i'll have you know!

how about ending with "he sets the place alight".......?? or would that bring back too many painful memories of our old wooden stand ????

I like that. Bit different to anything else we have too.

Might need a 2nd verse as it's very short

Got to go to work now, I'll try and think of something more positive as a second verse tomorrow.

So, my last line, which I'll admit is a little bit posh, is too camp, but Monkey and his bloody show tunes, the very epitome of GAAAAAAAAAY are perfectly the way to go?

I despair.

Spent way too much time thinking of a second verse (for someone of my age) and couldn't come up with anything. Maybe leave it as is and follow it with "Nathan Craig Craig Craig" (Feeling hot hot hot). Or maybe just forget the whole damn thing (cos it is a bit rubbish!)

How about (to the tune of Amarillo by Tony Christie )

Show me the way to get to Plainmoor
Where Rene, Billy and Manse love to score
Show me the way to get to Plainmoor
Where we all love to watch Torquay!

Nathan Craig is magic he wears a magic hat
And when he saw the Torquay he said I'm having that
He scores them with his left foot
He scores them with his right
And we play the city he'll score all fu***ng night

Typical chef, had to swear. That said, I like it.
