I know it started with an low "Oohhhhhh" rising in volume and then in to "Andy Gregory packed his bags and said goodbye to the Widnes ... Off he went with a trumperty-trump, sulk ! sulk ! sulk !" (It was sung around the time of Gregory's big money move from Widnes to Wigan)
Then there was a bit about "Kevin Dick was calling far, far away ..." (Dick was the Leeds scrum half at the time and one of the few players with the measure of Gregory at scrum-half)
Having said that, I also recall a verse where "Ray French was calling, far, far away ..."
Anyone who can put the full song on here, much appreciated ....
It went. Andy Gregory packed his bags And said goodbye to Widnes Off he went with a big fat cheque Big fat cheque
Kevin Dick was calling far,far away He got the ball and ran like hell And Gregory ran away.

Here's one from the Admiral's song book, for all you harking back to those heady October nights in Manchester not-so-very-long-ago ....
(With the utmost respect to the Beach Boys, the Barmy Army etc.)
Tune : Sloop John B (trad.arr)
We all came over from Leeds The South Stand Army and me Around Manchester town we did roam Four quid for a pint, forty quid for a seat But with Sinfield as captain, we'll take the cup home
So hoist up the Rhinos sail See how the mainsail sails Call for the captain ashore Take the cup home We'll take the cup home We'll take the cup home With Sinfield as captain We'll take our cup home
Cunningham's a broken man Without Sculthorpe he has no plan He tries to carry the team all on his own He's losing his hair But we don't care 'Cos with Sinfield as captain will take our cup home
So hoist up the Rhinos sail See how the mainsail sails Call for the captain ashore Take the cup home We'll take the cup home We'll take the cup home With Sinfield as captain We'll take our cup home
Now Danny’s a caring guy Helps kids in his spare time But now he's gonna tear the Scousers apart They can't stop his runs And so Loiners have won And with Sinfield as captain, he’ll take our cup home
So hoist up the Rhinos sail See how the mainsail sails Call for the captain ashore Take the cup home We'll take the cup home We'll take the cup home With Sinfield as captain We'll take our cup home
So, since it's NOT the Scousers for a change, anyone suggest any alternatives ?
