About Football and Music

This place was created by accident really. At the the start it was a prediction league, then the footie and music bit was a happy accident afterwards.
Football and Music is run by a British Expat now living in North Carolina in the USA.
In an effort to keep in touch with the beautiful game back home a thread was started on the BritExpats forum in which we would talk about nothing but football. The BFT (British Football Thread – so named because it was founded by English and Scottish expats) became the longest running single thread on the forums. Sadly it has died now, but it was kept alive by the footie mad forum members for over three years.
On the thread we began to post guesses on what we though the final scores were going to be on the weekend’s matches. Quite a few people joined and I wanted to expand this somehow. I then found this genius script done by Prediction Football and got that up and running. This continued for a couple of seasons and then…
Then one day for reasons unknown to me now I wanted to watch the Anfield Rap video again.
I think I wanted to remind myself of how craptacular it was.
After this I went searching for other stuff like this and it was at this point that I had that eureka moment.
As I was looking around I for other footie and musical items I discovered that there was much, much more out there than I imagined. In fact than anyone could have guessed. I must tell people about this…
I was partly that and partly because of a couple of other websites which influenced me:
Twohundredpercent occasionally posted some songs. Plus The Vinyl Villianwas posting music and football related songs.
Over time I’ve found some gems. But most of the time they are horrors. You will discover on your wandereings through here that football and music is a genre that shouldn’t exist. But it does. I thought that this thing wouldn’t last but every day I find something new. This journey never seems to end.
- I always welcome your submissions and please send me anything and everything you find.
Doesn’t matter if I already have it. The more information I get helps me in discovering other items.
I’ve started and will add to my Most Wanted List below. If you spot any of these, or have anything you are looking for then email me below.
