    Earlier we asked for your chants for Sir Patrick Stewart  after he said seeing Huddersfield Town reach the Premier League is "all he needs" to make his year perfect - but he needs help learning the Terriers' terrace chants.

    Sir Patrick Stewart

    The Star Trek and X-Men star said: "Huddersfield Town Football Club have to get into the Premiership this season, but I'm not a chanter, and I have to confess I don't understand a lot of the chants."

    I asked what chant would you teach him and this is what James Corke suggests:

    We're on our way to the Premier LeagueWe're on our wayHow we get there, I don't knowHow we get there, I don't careAll I know is we're on our wayTo the Premier League
