This is a postscript to the one from the other day that looked at some well known names who were compelled to sing for England. The ones I selected were the "best" in the bunch of tunes which were either designed to earn a bit of coin for themselves or to raise money for others. There wer... Read More..>>
The Greatest Footballer You Never Saw
Not being original with the title of the post, using the same one as the book, but it is an excellent description of today's subject and it can't be bettered. This is the first in a mini-series looki
Cold Electric Blue, Those Diamond Lights
Ah that seminal appearance... That's what I should have called this place. Football and Music...dull as ditch water. What was I thinking. A few of the Friendlies linked to the right there had some imagination when entitling theirs, so where was mine ? Nowhere. I know it does what it says on the tin but if I called it "Diamond Lights", peopl
Mister Grimsdale !
It is sad to read that his kids have put Sir Norman Wisdom into a retirement home. Well he is 92 years old now and only retired from performing live on stage at 90. But some gutter rats from The News of the Screws ...Read More![[Subs Bench] F&M Song Of The Day on Twitter](http://www.footballandmusic.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/slade.jpg)

A new (offsite) series: Football and Music: Song Of The Day on Twitter As the title says these songs will only be posted (and be available to download) via the F&M Twitter* http://www.twitter.com/football_music *This first one toda
Stranger Than Fiction
This one starts out as strange and then gets a whole lot weird... Here's a chant that Palace fans would have heard a few years back:"He's fat, he's round, he's taking Crystal Palace down..."The Swede with a turning circle of the Titanic came to our attention when he s
The Talented Mr Wenger
Of all the grey haired old men prowling about in the technical area this bloke stands out among them. Intelligent, level headed, a deep thinker and with every so called "crisis" that deemed to have hit the club, he steers them calmly through. Despite his calmness I do have to question whether he is rising to panic with the long drawn out (very
The Adams Family
Introductions not needed... This next song isn't actually about the addicted (but recovered), dated Caprice, dropped Steve Morrow, legged it from Wycombe before being sacked and now taking Pompey into a downwa
Bay Scotland Rollers
Yabba dabba do... When one of the national teams qualify for a major championship final the the first thing to do next is to of course record some music to cash in celebrate this achievement. Scotland took this opportunity and they added that other essential ingredient into this mix by calling up the biggest (locally grown) musical act who we
You Know It Is, It Really Is...
I admit it. I looked. After the last two footie&musical/light entertainment in hell postings I tried to find another one. I wanted that hat-trick. But like the other day when that Slavia Prague ke
Pea Ess Why See Aich Oh
Would you have a disagreement with this man: Apart from Jones. V or Barton. J maybe, but usually people avoid crossing words with Stuart Pearce. A few days back there was a series of heated telephone discussions between him and Arsène We
Soccer Superstar – That’s Who You Are
Taking a quick break from the footie & movie music series to show some love to Brandon Donovan... ...sorry...? He's what... Landon...? I've been calling him Brandon all this time and nobody said. Well no wonder he ...Read MoreIn the crowd of England songs that were released for the 2006 World Cup there was a bit of gold... A diamond in the rough. No it wasn't the Embrace track (obviously), it was a song that was should have got more attention and it baffles me as to why it didn't. The name of the band who create... Read More..>>
I asked Fredorrarci over at Sport Is A TV Show to help me out with a title for this post and a remark from him made me think - Are the players at fault when England crash out of the competition - or is it the associated songs that should be blamed ? Do we musically shoot ourselves in the foot before... Read More..>>
Before we get deluged here with songs trying to fill the void left by the lack of an official England one (a move which like the appointment of second choice Steve they will come to regret), gathered here are "highlights" of some other acts that tried to catch our ear back in 2006. It is wit... Read More..>>
