Felt like Mossy was missing his own thread. 

Here's a collection of ones previously suggested:

Mossy you’re a goalkeeper (to the tune of One Direction - What Makes You Beautiful ):

Mossy, you light up my life like nobody else,
The way you dive for the ball gets me overwhelmed,
And when you punch at the ball it ain't hard to tell,
We all know-oh-oh...
Mossy you're our goal-keeper

Moss (to the tune of Shout – Tears for Fears ):

Moss,
Moss,
Punches the cross
He is the man
He's our goalkeeping boss
Come on
We're talking to you
Come on

He’s a Moss (to the tune of She's a Mod):

He's a Moss, he's a Moss, he's a Moss yeah yeah yeah yeah
He's a Moss, he's a Moss, yeah yeah
He's a Moss, he's a Moss...
He's wearing blue/green/pink today

The classic, Best keeper in the League (to the tune of The whole world in his hands):

We’ve got the best keeper in the League
We’ve got the best keeper in the League
We’ve got the best keeper in the League
We’ve got the best keeper in the League

All except the first one is good. I am aware of some kiddie band named One Direction but I'll be fucked if I knew any of their songs.

Tracey was pretty compelling when she belted it out at the Back Bencher on Sunday.

I can't stand 1D either, but that chant is the best one. Its brilliant.

I feel a little dirty having just given them another youtube hit to listen to it.

Is it likely to catch on though. Tradeoff between clever and simple.

Yeah I kind of don't want to give 1D credit, but it is very clever and catchy.

Yeah, fair call. 

I am trying to be very constructive and encouraging wherever possible. But the One Direction one just doesn't grab me. It's a clever song adaption but I don't think it works as a chant... it's rythym and meter is a bit complicated in my opinion. 

But hey, we can give it a go and if it works, great. 

As I said it is about consensus, and I can live with it if I have to.

Should we change the line in italics to "We're cheering for you"?

chanting and  cheering are both good options.

As much as it pains me to say it I quite like the 1D adaptation.

A similarity to Ronan Keating

 

The smile on your face lets me know that your up for it

There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never let me down

The touch of your hand says you'll catch anything wherever it may fall

You play best

When you do nothing at all

A fan is a fan.

To clarify (and it's so minor I feel silly but Oh Well!) It's "Mossy you're OUR goal keeper".

I will continue to push for it.  El Grap (who has been mia for some time) and I were so proud of our lyrical abilities it's become like a child.

End of an era.  Vinnie - It's over.

Minor corrections are important. Onya Tracey.

I wish I had been sober enough to remember who I was talking to who floated this one - whoever it was, well done...

After The Pub, but Before the Back Bencher I was taught this one:

Moss, Moss

He punches the cross

He is the man, he's our goalkeeping boss

Come on!

I'm talking to you

Glen Moss!

[Repeat]

For the non 80's children, this is to Tear for Fears - Shout

Supergrass - Alright:

He is young, he runs free, keeps his sheets nice and clean.

Punch the ball, save some goals, keeps alright.
