best player to never have a proper song

criminal considering some of the utter dross who have had proper terrace bops.

can't remember us ever singing anything for schmeichel or Ferdinand either.

seems a relatively new concept so I'm obviously discounting older players. can any historians on here recall the first united player to have had their own personal song?

also, off the top of my head I can't think of any of the current squad who's name is regularly sung.

David Beckham went to France, as a national hero,
got sent off and he came home, reputation zero.

England fans they're all @#%&!s, they get so excited,
stick you england up your ass, cos we are Man United.....

Didn't make the charts as I remember but got a really good spin at Stoke, mid 70s.

Yes, the Best chant was posthumous.

In the late 60s/early 70s Best had the awful "E for B and Georgie Best, Denis Law and all the rest" one after he advertised eggs for breakfast.

Sir Bobby's was even worse - "Aye, aye, aye, aye, Charlton is better than Pele/ Cos Pele is a no good bum ... So is Eusabio!" At least that is my recollection of it.
