Sonny Carey Appreciation thread

I love this player. It's only October and he’s put down a marker for POTY.

 

Handy if she likes a hole in her chapatis

 

Quality player - the last two games he has been immense keep him fit keep on getting results

 

The way he carried the ball at feet at pace last night & then finished was class - you can’t coach that.

 

The Nicky Bailey song will be heard soon replaced with Sonny Carey

 

Have I not heard it being sung at the Valley already?

Sometimes the words are hard to make out - my hearing is not great when there is a lot of background noise - but the tune unmistakable.

 

Technically he’s a far better player than Bailey.

 

Oh Sonny Carey you are the love of my life
Oh Sonny Carey I’ll let you shag my wife
Oh Sonny Carey l want ginger hair tooooo.
That’s basically the lyrics replacing Carey for Bailey

 

Carey has never scored more than 8 league goals in a season. This could well be the year he gets into double figures.
Bailey scored 13 league goals in 2008-09 (this level) and 12 in 2009-10 (3rd tier).

Will be interesting to see how their stats stack up in the fullness of time.

 

Indeed.
Sorry for being a bit unclear. I'm familiar with the lyrics, but I wasn't sure if the recent chants I heard were about Carey.

My hearing was damaged after I suffered a bad ear infection when about 20 years old.
I struggle to pick out words when I'm in a crowded place with high background noise.

 

Lloyd Jones’ comment

 

This player has been immense this Season. If he stays fit how many goals will he score this Season?

 

Awesome form. Particularly from someone that I never thought would be more than a bit part player.

 

Whoever scouted him deserves some credit. Dynamic midfielder who can score goals. We have needed that for a couple of seasons.
