Gally

Gally

Just got to love the lad. Have we ever had someone to rival our all time legends?
Well we do now!
Both on and off the pitch he conducts himself to the highest standards, we are lucky to have him and i hope when his playing days are over he joins our backroom team.

But why?

I think it came about after we played Sunderland in the league cup at Roker Park around the time UB40 re released it.

Both sets of fans sang it and its stuck for both clubs. Although Sunderland dont sing both verses.

As for Gally he is a proper Nobber and deserves all the plaudits for his time with us. If you read the North End souls book you will understand why it goes beyond football.

Top Man.

Ah thanks JK I knew someone would know
 
Good lad Gally. You’ll do for me.

I seem to remember Paul Simpson didn’t like the song and tried to get it shifted from the pre-match ritual. Managers come and go, but songs live on a lot longer.

One song I used to love hearing in the 1980’s was:

“You are my sunshine, my only sunshine.
You make me happy when times are grey.
You’ll never know just how much I love you,
So please don’t take my North End away.”

Let’s hope they’ll be back soon.

Gally will be one who we remember in Years to come with fondness as a North Ender not just a Player who fleetingly came and went!
In respect of 'Wise Man Says' I could never understand why Simpson disliked it so much.
Not quite sure its our 'Delilah' but its one among a few like Sunshine that there is no harm in singing - anything that creates a good atmosphere surely has to be applauded.

Last time I recall us singing You are my Sunshine was for Youl Mawene. Wish he was still playing, another absolute legend and damned good player.

If press reports are correct Joan, we might be blasting out that song again.

”The son of former Derby County player of the year Youl Mawene is looking to follow in his father's footsteps.
Mawene junior - Noah - is currently on the books at another one of his dad's old clubs, Preston North End.
The youngster is part of Preston's under-15 squad, though recently turned out for the under-18s.”

Youl’s description of Noah “He’s more of a midfield player, he’s probably got more technique than I had. He’s more of a box-to-box midfielder, for what it’s worth. He’s about my size so he’s got a bit of a profile – a bit tall, a bit gangly as well!”
