A night of two sporting disasters...or The Graduate revisited

Whilst one of the "disasters" simply related to an England Goalkeeper attempting - and failing with a spectacular mis-kick - to clear a back-pass which resulted in an own goal and ultimate defeat in the match; the other "disaster" was far more serious as it involved the death of a famous baseball star as his light aircraft crashed into a high rise building in New York. Both events (strangely) made me think of the lyrics to the theme tune of the film “The Graduate”.

Here, in a slightly amended form, are the lyrics in question: -

It's coz of your misses Robinson,
That Croats love you more than you will know.
Could you please miss the [team] buses Robinson.
Zagreb holds a place for those who pray,
Hey, hey, hey

We'd like to know a little bit about your for our files
We'd like to help you learn to kick yourself.
Look around you all you see are unsympathetic eyes,
Stroll around the grounds until you feel at home.

It's coz of your misses Robinson.
That Croats love you more than you will know.
Could you please miss the [team] buses Robinson.
Zagreb holds a place for those who pray,
Hey, hey, hey

Hide it [the VT] in a hiding place where no one ever goes.
Put it in your pantry with your cup mistakes.
It's no more a secret - it's the Robinson "affair".
Most of all you've got to hide it from [Dennis] Norden's kids.

Koo-koo-ka-choo, Goalie Robinson,
The Croats love you more than you will know.
Could you please miss the [team] buses Robinson.
Zagreb holds a place for those who pray,
Hey, hey, hey

Sitting on a sofa on a Sunday afternoon.
Not going to the selection debate.
Laugh about it, shout about it
When they've got to choose
Every way you look at this you lose.

Where have you gone, Cory Liddle Oh,
Our nation turns it's lonely eyes to you.
What's that you say, Mr. Robinson.
Cory's left and now he's flown away,
Hey hey hey.
