Newcastle player Fabian Cher gets his own fan song

English football fans love to sing songs, but few Premier League players have their own fan songs. Now living in Switzerland, the Briton wrote and recorded a song about Wheeler Fabian Scher.

In his last season at Hoffenheim, Fabian Scher played almost no role, and with Deportivo La Coruña, the eastern Swiss was even relegated. Just a few years ago, it seemed that his career was inevitably heading in the wrong direction.

But it turned out differently: after a few seasons at Newcastle, Fabian Sher is on the permanent side – even after the Saudis came on board and all the money the new owners pumped into the traditional club.

Cher has been playing in the North East of England for 5 years now and the 31 year old is very fond of Jordie. Last but not least, with his many goals for the home defender, he has been able to carve his way into the hearts of fans who are not quite used to success.

Fab Fab Fabolus Fabian Sher

And they love to sing, the English. So the appearance of a tribute song for Fabian Sher was only a matter of time. He was received by a Newcastle fan who had lived in Switzerland for 35 years.

“Switzerland is famous for a lot of beautiful things, watches, chocolate and cheese,” Allan Millen sings with his band Exiles. But at Newcastle, a favorite import from Switzerland is a certain Fabian Cher.

“This is a good mood song,” writes Allan Millen. Will the song be played in St. James Park? Perhaps the English fans are not squeamish about more complex songs. However, they usually use the melodies of famous songs and come up with new lyrics.

Criticism of Willy Gnonto’s song

The same goes for former Super League star Wilfrid Gnonto, who now plays for Leeds United. The live forward is also popular with the fans – like his song, even if they probably went a little too far with stereotypes.

To the tune of the Gipsy Kings hit “La Bamba”, Leeds fans sing about the Italian Gnonto’s alleged eating and drinking habits: “He eats spaghetti, he drinks Moretti!” As long as it’s harmless. The next line is about the size of Gnonto’s genitals.

The club doesn’t like it at all. Fan clubs have already received several requests to change the text. The club did not want to hear racist clichés in fan songs. The league also wants such songs to end.

This mainly refers to the second part of the gnonto chant. Nationalities and their clichés are somehow part of football – few people care about spaghetti, Moretti, Swiss cheese and chocolate.

Even Cher and Gnonto. After all, songs are written about her.
