But Greg is ill, and can no longer give the yellow skivvy the energy it requires (and it requires a lot). I don't think we should hold that against Sam. The kids love him. As, apparently, do I - in an anthem-singing kind of way.<br /><br />As for Barry Crocker - god love you for bringing him up @FatMumSlim My overwhelming memory of him is how he managed to slip the Neighbours theme into every occasion.

I had never realised what was lacking from our National Anthems at Sporting Events until you reminded me of Julie Anthony. Yes. Straight singing, clear, get the job done Julie. No need to cringe or dissect the performance. Sing the song, done, kick the ball. <br /><br />Didn't see Sam sing, but if he accomplished the Julie-factor, then I will happily sign the petition to get him to sing the anthem at all televised events from now on.Meredith @ thinkthinkshttp://thinkthinks.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495198733430494988.post-3686775914605513652010-05-27T11:33:35.586+10:002010-05-27T11:33:35.586+10:00I don't really do Sam.

Those who sing along, hand of heart, with the anthem are those most likely to triumph in the game. Tragically, the vocal gymnasts always seemed to stun the players too - how can you sing along with someone who spans three octaves in the space of one note?PinkPatentMaryJaneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07219272193124932806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495198733430494988.post-55095461167975609942010-05-27T08:09:08.735+10:002010-05-27T08:09:08.735+10:00@deer baby Sorry, this was a bit 'for the view...@deer baby Sorry, this was a bit 'for the viewers at home', I know.
