He drives an ambulance.

Is it pronounced ray-rah or ree-eh-rah? And I'm assuming that it's al-bear rather than al-bert since he's from europe

Doesn't mean we shouldn't try come up with another. 
I do like the Riera chant, but it comes across as a bit weak (and the France thing is a bit weird)

Allegedly

A reworded chorus of "Eres tu" (Morcedades) in Spanish would be good.

From Google tranlsate (requires someone who actually knows Spanish - AliG or Fublu perhaps):

Albert Riera, eres tú, eres tú.
Como un maestro del mediocampo.
Albert Riera, eres tú, eres tú.
Así, así, eres tú.

Eres tú como el Tim Brown español
Eres tú el fénix en mi fuego
Eres tú (algo así eres tú ohhhh)
como Auckland de mi Wellington (algo asi como Auckland de mi Wellington)
eres tu (algo asi eres tu ohhhh)
el fénix, número trece (mi vida algo asi eres tu).

I'm half Welsh, so I'm more than likely to give it a go!

Just need to work on the first verse a little.

When our number thirteen

Gives out packs of codeine

That’s Reira

When  Auckland’s Spanish pride

Is  your ambulance ride

That’s Riera

Btw guys get a better chant for Riera! Sick of listening to Patrick sing solo at every home game.

Come up with a new one and start it up at the next game then. 

Criticising people for making some noise isn't really what we are about is it?

Not sure how it's my fault that nobody else decides to sing along.

Btw, it was great that Patrick tried to gee up Aisle 23 in the last game.  Sorry we couldn't fully reciprocate with "Yellow Army".

Maybe would work if you joined in next time KO'K777?

Or to the Kinks Lola: (Section in italics needs rework - ideas welcomed)

Well I'm not the world's most passionate fan,

but when you win the ball and then pass through to Stein,

oh my RI-ERA, RI - RI - RI - RI RI-ERA

Well I'm not dumb but I can't understand,

Why you're small like a woman, but you play like a man

oh my RI-ERA, RI - RI - RI - RI RI-ERA

Well we drink at The Pub, and we dance in the stands

We sing and jump and clap our hands

We don't sit down, no not here in the zone

If you start a chant you won't be alone

And when we look at him play we we always fall for RI-ERA

RI - RI - RI - RI, RI-ERA, RI - RI - RI - RI, RI-ERA,

RI - RI - RI - RI, RI-ERA, RI - RI - RI - RI, RI-ERA,


Incredible stamina. No shame. Yellow Fever.


Phoenix fans. We have to win them over one fan at a time.

I'm half welsh too, and all the welsh people I know either have no vocal range or are castrato. Beer helps, but only in that other people don't notice your poor vocal range.

We've got to hold on to what we've got
Cause it doesn't make a difference
If he's Spanish or not
We've got Riera and that's a lot... for us
We'll give it a shot

Whooah, we've got him here
Whooah, digging on Albert
Show him the ball, he'll take it - I swear
Whooah, digging on Albert


From a song already suited to drunken yelling.

"He's operating a turnstile down the left flank"
