Add to basketPaperback. Not many football identities can lay claim to the beloved stature enjoyed by Greg Champion without lacing up the boots or stepping into the commentary booth, but the Coodabeens star has spent decadesdelighting fans with the songs that comprise The Thing About Football: The Songs of Greg Champion.Since his Coodabeens debut in 1983, Champs has written thousands of football and cricket-themed songs that have become part of the Australian sporting vernacular, and for the first time their lyrics are collected in one place. From Dermott Brereton is a Hood and I Am Diperdomenico to Theres Only One Tony Lockett and Tony Modras Gone Surfing, Champions ditties and parodies have become favourite singalongs, harking back to simpler times when a lukewarm pie and a tattered beanie were all that footy fans needed for a day in the outer.After 36 years on the ABC airwaves, Champs has also toured the country constantly since he first came to national prominence withhis 1986 single, I made a hundred in the backyard at Mums. In 1995, the Seven Network adopted his fan favourite, Thats the thing about football, as its theme tune for AFL broadcasts, and the song becamebecame ubiquitous.Though many of the lyrics in this anthology will be familiar to lovers of Champions songs, the stories behind them might not. It is safe to say that Mrs Brereton wasnt entirely pleased with Champions take onher famous son. Other Champion targets can only smile and laugh.As Hawthorn legend Robert Dipper DiPierdomenico puts it: GregChampions ditties have put fun into footy. Of course, I gave him a huge kick start with I am DiP-ier-dom-en-ico! Shipping may be from our Sydney, NSW warehouse or from our UK or US warehouse, depending on stock availability.
