    Some one had to post it.

    The first few bars of this always take me back to Wembley in 2008.

    What a voice this guy had. What a legend.

    Not fit to lace Sinatra's boots.

    Anodyne crooner.

    I bet you love Michael Buble. Afterall, he's just a Frank Sinatra wannabee. <laugh>

    Sinatras voice sounds like sandpaper next to Andys, had the pleasure of seeing him concert 4 years back, a true legend.

    Fucking hell, what's so bad about what he said!? So the old chap's dead, does that mean nobody is allowed to say they don't like his music? Moreover, why do the dead always command more respect than the living? Is having the Grim Reaper catch up with you an achievement or something?

    He may have had a smooth voice but so do *Chris De Burgh and Celine Dion.

    He had little or no emotional depth, no 'My Way' type epic signature song nor the ability to touch people's hearts in the way Sinatra did.

    A sort of American Vince Hill or Val Doonican, if you will.

    Sorry he's dead, like.

    When Caleb Folan snuffs it, how will you remember him?

    'A Trojan of a forward, a dreadnought attacker with sublime ball skills and the ability to spring any offside trap'?

    Feel sure that Andy Williams would be extremely surprised to find himself so divisive in death.

    lol, I quite like the version! Mental.
    Just imagine playing this just as the players come out, it'd be well funny.

    Agreed John. Alot of todays talent-less wonders could do well to watch dvd's of his old shows. True legend indeed.

    R.I.P. Andy Williams and thanks for the great memories.

    Wise Men Say Only Fools Rush In. Great Song and should be played pre-kick off imo. This is our tune - The Hull City tune. Wembley 2008,, Tears indeed.
