Firstly, when did we adopt the Valley Floyd Road song? I don't remember it being sung at Selhurst. That said I can only remember three songs from that era. Lenny Lawrence's Red and White army; give me an C, give me an A, etc and Yippy Aye Ay, Yippy Yye Oh.

Secondly, when did the team first start coming out to Red Red Robin?

    Second verse of Valley Floyd Road would lead me to believe it didn't come about until after the return?

    Second verse, a work of lyrical genius, wasn't written until the charity recording.

    I believe the first verse was being sung before we came home.

    Red, Red Robin was recorded by Billy Cotton, the version we use, in the 1950s

    "Yippy-aye-ay! Yippey-aye-oh!"

    That is the sounds of Selhurst to me. That and Rick Astley.
