estern Bulldogs supporter and former Club director Noel Del- bridge has just written a biography of Mike Brady, the author of W ‘Up there Cazaly’ to celebrate the 25th anniversary of footy’s fa- vourite anthem. It’s called ‘Up there Mike Brady’ and Noel will donate $5 to the East West Club for every book sold to our readers.

So treat yourself to a great read and help the East West Club (and Western Bull- dogs) at the same time by completing the order form that will appear in the next edition of Kennel Kapers.

In the meantime here is an extract from the book to whet your appetite...

Noel Delbridge CHAPTER 17: IT ALL SOUNDS LIKE FOOTBALL

THE SCENE: May 1980. The control room of the theatrette at ad agency Masius on Queens Road, Melbourne. Today the theatrette is doubling as a recording studio. In the control room are me (Noel Delbridge), Mike Brady and Masius technician Eric Read.

In the theatrette, behind a mike, is Mr Football, EJ Whitten. He’s done all this before – TV, radio, live, recorded, you name it. He’s as cocky as ever and, in reception, had greeted me as he does every male, from the VFL presi- dent to the club boot studder: “G’day knackers, how they hangin’?” Mike and I have collaborated on an album of footy songs, now in the final stages of production, and Ted’s doing a favour for us.

The album will feature 13 songs, one for a legend from each of the 12 clubs – Darrel Baldock (St Kilda), Peter Moore (Collingwood), Peter Hudson (Hawthorn), Polly Farmer (Geelong), EJ (Footscray), Bobby Skilton (South Melbourne), John Coleman (Essendon), (Richmond), (North Melbourne), Kevin Murray (Fitzroy), John Nicholls (Carlton), Ron Barassi (Melbourne) plus another song dedicated to Lou Richards and his by-line, “Kiss of death”.

Ted’s job is to provide one-liners sounding like ad-libs (although scripted) which can be mixed with lyrics Mike has already recorded. I’m the Bulldog fanatic- always have been – and EJ’s song sends up some of his more infa- mous on-field antics. To the tune of the scatalogical “ It all sounds like bullshit to me”, Mike counts in Ted who hears on tape:

NOW TELL ME EJ WHITTEN DID YOU EVER LET ONE RIP DID YOU EVER HELP ‘EM LIFT THEIR GAME BY USIN’ THE MONKEY GRIP

Right on cue, the legend of 321 games with the doggies, replies:

DON’T ASK ME I WOULDN’T KNOW A MONKEY GRIP FROM A SQUIRREL GRIP

“Thanks, Ted,” says Mike, “You’re a one-take wonder. That’s a wrap.”

Mike Brady’s just won another fan.

Years later, bulldog ruckman Luke Darcy will tell a journalist, ‘When I first came to the club, driving around with EJ Whitten was a couple of the best weeks of all time. He was hilarious. He had his song ‘It all sounds like foot- ball’ and he’d be driving around Footscray singing along with all the windows down, rocking’ along.”
