As with the Ruud boy yesterday this is another player that needs no introduction. But I'm still going to. About that 1970 World Cup... Again we are all familiar with it now. You know, that save which denied Pele. I've previously posted a quote from "O Rei" on what he thought of that sto... Read More..>>
Voodoo Keegan (Slight Return)
Many of the songs posted here in the last couple of months have been courtesy of and a big thanks to Stu Davis who had the foresight all those years ago to purchase some CD's and thusly helped me towards my quest to gather everything to do with the musical aspect of the beautiful game... It is a side that many of us wish didn't exist but it does an
Strachan
I'm cross posting a couple of themes here - Continuing with the Scotia one, but introducing a new theme too. This theme will be tunes written with the subject solely concerning association football players. - Starting with the wee man below: This isn't about his current position, it is a tune that reflects on his time in a yellow strip. The s
Bobby Gould Did Go
Sadly I have next to nothing when it comes to songs related to the Wales team (Welsh team ?) Possibly because they don't have much to sing about, which is a pity because I would have liked to have seen Ian Rush or Mark Hughes or Ryan Giggs and Craig Bellamy play in at least one major final. (In the case of Bellamy there's still Euro 2012...?) Aaro
Weezer Loves Soccer
They actually did it. At one point it looked like they were going home, but somehow they pulled it off. Oh and the USA are in Confederations Cup Final too. Thanks to 3rd Degree for discovering the fo
A Song For England: Round 2
UPDATE: Round 2 voting closed - Round 3 here. The poll has closed for the 1st round and the winner is... -+ The Shining Hour +- He will now go up against our next contenders... Blind Granny's Taxi Nightmare These chaps have previous with an England World Cup song hav
Singing For England
So you've read that there will be no official England World Cup song. So you think you can fill that void ? So then tell us about it. I know I'm going to regret this, but it's as inevitable as [inse
Bobby Moore Really Was Innocent
This is the first post of a few that will remember the legend that was Sir Bobby Moore. I know he wasn't knighted when he was alive, but that was the fault of the powers that be who only realised their mistake after his passing and made up for it by giving a gong to Geoff Hurst. So why not award him a knighthood posthumously eh ? Today though i
A Life Less Ordinary
I read an article in passing the other week but I've not had the opportunity to post something in relation to it until now. Since this is tribute to the departed this week it is appropriate to do this now. This entry will be a sort of introduction/link to the next subject. Everyone I'm sure is familiar with what happened with Justin ...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
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 WeWhen going through my CD collection here (with a view to writing down to see what I have here and to maybe selling them to a second hand record shop) I rediscovered some half forgotten gems in the form of my Pop Will Eat Itself collection. It must have been about 10 years since I played any of t... Read More..>>
Sexy Ruud Time
Filed under: Music Tags: AC_Milan, Chelski, Feyenoord, HFC_Haarlem, Holland, PSV, Sampdoria
Don't really need to introduce you to the man who said those now famous words... ... But I'm still going to because I like to fill in some space before I post the music. The son of a Afro-Surinamese migrant and his mistress, Ruud Gullit started playing and developed his football skills... Read More..>>
...or something about their wings being clipped ? I dunno... I'll come back to this when I've got a better title. This is the other post looking at two teams with two common denominators: 1) They are in a financial crisis and 2) but they are still in the FA Cup. The club featured yesterday a... Read More..>>
I'm hoping to get a couple of posts out looking at a couple of teams still in the FA Cup (5th Round) but might not be* after Saturday. This is the first of the two. *Or still could be. They both beat higher opposition in the last round, so... 'New owners' 'new investment' and 'big s... Read More..>>
< I have no imagination with these titles. > The above montage are pics from the Southampton 2003 FA Cup run which led them to the final. I think we are all familiar with their current woes so I'm not going to bother with all that. If you are not go and look it up. I want to concentrat... Read More..>>
