FANS commiserated with broadcaster Marc Webber after his festive witty ditty on BBC’s Final Score was blanked by the studio presenter.

Webber couldn’t resist when a player called List didn’t miss – as he turned an update on Stevenage’s Boxing Day clash with Northampton into a version of Christmas classic Santa Claus is Comin’ to Town.

The presenter made no response but perhaps she was too stunned by what she heard as Marc Webber conjured a musical update to Stevenage’s win[/caption]

The former Sun man went viral after SINGING an impromptu version of the XMAS class.

As the Beeb’s show went to Stevenage following their final goal in a 3-0 win, Webber warbled his lyrical response.

Bravely and brilliantly, he crooned: “He’s Elliott List, His goal made it thrice, Reid in two minutes, Then a Roberts delight, Stevenage lead Northampton 3-0.”

Unfortunately there was no reference to Webber’s efforts in the studio – as the presenter carried on as normal.

Or as one viewer put it: “She didn’t even acknowledge it, poor bloke.”

Another fan posted: “This is unreal. Did the presenter just completely miss it.”

A third was just as incredulous as he too gave her a Christmas red card: “How did she just have zero reaction to that.”

But one listener pondered of the song: “How can something be so bad that it’s amazing.”

The broadcaster himself responded to that on X: “Funny, cause that’s what Mrs Webber says to me as well.”

And he told SunSport: “Always glad to put a smile on people’s faces.

“I used to present the Northampton Town show on BBC Radio Northampton until a couple of years ago. Some Cobblers fans have been messaging me saying, ‘Not happy our defeat has been highlighted – but it was funny!'”

And in fact Webber’s musical Boxing Day banter has given him a festive fan club.

One admirer wrote: “Ahaha honestly it’s very creative. Keep up the good work mate!”

Santa Claus is comin' to Town - original lyrics...

You better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout
I’m telling you why, Santa Claus is coming to town
He’s making a list
He’s checking it twice
He’s going to find out
Who’s naughty and nice, Santa Claus is coming to town

[Pre-Chorus]
He sees you when you’re sleeping
He knows when you’re awake
He knows when you’ve been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake
