I'd like to dedicate this, my 20,000th* post to the continuing improvement in the health of Fabrice Muamba.

 

I raise a glass to the hope of once again seeing him ply his trade at Bolton Wanderers subject to medical advances allowing it.

 

* 20,000, some olk would think I've nothing better to do with my time. . . my wife being my iercest critic.

All these creative juices flowing, and as usual It'll probably end up being like a silent vigil

This may take some getting going, but have been thinking how good it would sound with 20 odd thousand singing it, the words are appropriate and I also believe it would be good for the following reasons

1) it's not overly religious, and the words are relevant to the situation Grace could be the collective positive thinking as well as some higher being.

2 ) many none football people who genuinely believe have been praying for him, these people would take a sort of thanks from this.

3) most have sung it a school at some stage and even the older generations could join in

4) Muamba's family are obviously religious and would take a lot from the crowd singing this 9this would be the most important reason)

5 ) it woulds show the un doubted watching world we are more than "yer mams yer dad" merchants who do have a bit of culture.

 

I'm not a bible basher by any stretch of the imagination, I just think this would sound fantastic and rousing as well as appropriate, who knows, it could even develop into the anthem we have been looking for, sung at every game.

just my thoughts and the first two verses below, which would be enough.

 

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,

That saved a wretch like me....

I once was lost but now am found,

Was blind, but now, I see.

T'was Grace that taught...

my heart to fear.

And Grace, my fears relieved.

How precious did that Grace appear...

the hour I first believed.

Muamba is a wanderer, he wears a wanderers top, and when he played for Bolton, his heart did stop. He went to see Nat Lofthouse but Lofty said, don't quit, your born to be a wanderer who wears that great White kit!

From that article -

"I immediately felt I had to get on to the pitch and grabbed our resuscitation bags and shouted across to the paramedics, Peter Fisher and Wayne Diesel, our head of medical.

 

 

Sounds like an Essex doctor :D

It needed an extra word in there

 

Muamba is a Wanderer, he wears a wanderers top, and when he played for Bolton, his beating heart did stop. He went to see Nat Lofthouse but Lofty said, "don't quit", Cos you're born to be a wanderer and wear that great White kit!

I may be being a bit thick here but what tune? I'm torn between McNamara's Band and My Old Man's a Dustman.
