This is the chant that wrote itself. Eddie Howe took over mid-season in January 2009 with Bournemouth already minus 17 points in administration, built them from League One to the Premier League with no money and a loan-heavy squad, then left for Burnley, and came back. The Cherries fans captured it all in one song. One of the greatest AFCB chants ever written. Full lyrics on FanChants.

Lyrics for Eddie Had a Dream

Eddie had a dream, On minus 17, We had no money so we signed players on loan, We play from the back, With pace in attack, He went to Burnley, And then he came back...
