Merse, Alan McAnally ,Kammy and whomever else stands in. It is genuinely funny and his quips and remarks are superb. He is the best on TV bar none and he deserves a song. There is a lot of love in the song. It is all for Jeff. We find ourselves worrying about Hartlepool’s performance eachSaturday. For me however nothing touches his rant about Middlesborough. Brilliant. Guacamole and Mushy Peas, geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeenius”.
The Brothers believe Hartlepool will ,one day, win the Premier League.
The Song will be released on October 15th.
Lyrics
That’s Why We Love Jeff Stelling -Corrigan Brothers
(words and music Corrigan Brothers 2013)
One of his remarks
Gave me such delight
They’ll be dancing on the streets
Of total network solutions tonight
When branston got sent off
He gave us all a tickle
He said that Mr Branston
Would be in a pickle
Daniel agger scored a screamer
Jeff turned to Merse and Matt
A grin across his face
How did AggaDO that
When Jellyman saw red
Playing for Mansfield town
“i hope he doesn’t throw a wobbly”
Brought the house down
Chorus
He’s too cool for school
And he loves harltepool
The truth to you i’m telling
On wet soccer Saturdays
His brilliant turn of phrase
That’s why we love Jeff Stelling
(that’s why we love jeff stelling)
he went off on one
for Middlesborough’s reputation
the skinny latte drinkers
brought out his frustration
he praised the cleveland hills
and the river tees
they order guacamole
when they want mushy peas
With merse and phil and charlie
He has a laugh with Kammy
And loves a bit of fun
With le tiss and mcanally
They have chemistry
They celebrate the silly
And love to see a goal
From the great David Goolwillie
Chorus
He’s too cool for school
And he loves harltepool
The truth to you i’m telling
On wet soccer Saturdays
His brilliant turn of phrase
That’s why we love Jeff Stelling
(that’s why we love jeff stelling)
Chorus
He’s too cool for school
And he loves harltepool
The truth to you i’m telling
On wet soccer Saturdays
His brilliant turn of phrase
That’s why we love Jeff Stelling
(that’s why we love jeff stelling)
