Just going through the draw, clearing things out and posting the remaining song that have a vague footie + music + Chrimbo connection.
Before I add these a reminder of some from this time last year:
» Emlyn Hughes and Suzanne Dando – but not in the way you imagine. This one is so sugary and sticky it… well ok maybe like you think.
» Half Man Half Biscuit – the official F&M musical team (because without them… not much of this would have been possible) – All they want is that Dulka Prague away kit.
-> So now here is a new Footie & Musical Xmas section:
» Pete Green, previously featured on here for his Ballad of Phil Jevons has a tribute to the seasonal weather:

It’s Christmas Eve lunchtime and I,

My mates are preparing to down (festive guitar solo) It snows but I feel warm as toast |
» The Sultans of Ping FC – also previously featured for Give Him A Ball (And A Yard Of Grass), but more for “Where’s Me Jumper ?” – have this chewy festive one…

» Saint Etienne. Not featured on here before, but added because of their name… they might have done some footie-related material because of their name… I’ll have to do some research on that… Have this one (a duet with The Charlatans Tim Burgess) which was written by Bob Stanley because he was born on the same day as the saviour. So was me mate Niki – so Happy Birthday to you as well Veggie !

If these are still not enough to fill you up then have a look through the December 2007 F&M Archive – or go over to Twohundredpercent who’s got more footie and music. Some which I’ve posted here already, some I have not.
Extra Time:
