"The Singing Sportsman"

Every year, close to the FA Cup final, at least one of the teams thinks it's a good idea to release a single, a rubbish song for the fans, so I'm not really talking about these, what I'd like to know is how many of you can remember, or have bought, singles by individuals more commonly known for their sporting ability.

Ian Wright, Vinnie Jones and Andy Cole have all released singles in the past, and all were pretty bad, but perhaps worst of all comes from the world of boxing. Prince Naseem Hamed, being the villian.

The other guys would go "Walk like a champion, talk like a champion, throw your hands in the air"

Then Naseem would go "Prince is in the house"

I remember seeing it on top of the pops, so enough people must have bought it t get it there. Were you one of those people?

What about John Barnes freestyling?

I got 'The Stonk' once.
And I got 'Mmmbop'.

*runs and hides*

Nope.

Although I did buy Cliff Richard & The Young Ones "Living Doll" when that was out.
