It's not hard really 🙂 Derby fans sometimes sing White Christmas when winning away in late October. That song was then used in the film of the same name, becoming universally well known soon after. oldtimeram, archram and DarkFruitsRam7 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ariotofmyown Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 Neil Warnock used 2 songs from "White Christmas" for his unfinished operatic version of "Planes, Trains and Automobiles", which is based on his attempts to reach Derby during a terrible blizzard. sage, DavesaRam, Ellafella and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mucker1884 Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 Bing Crosby plays the character Bob Wallace. Bob is short for Bobby. Wallace has the same number of Syllables as Zamora. Could it be more obvious! or: Some of the musical accompaniments within the movie were played by the strings section of an orchestra... probably! You may recall, there was that delightful little period in our history when we had The EFL playing from the same section. 👀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie George Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 Think it goes back to October 82 away at Barnsley. We were losing and the away terrace lightened the mood with White Christmas and it's stuck ever since. We drew 1-1. By the light of a silvery moon was also an 80's classic.
