Not every footballer back in the 80′s had Phil Collins down as his favourite music. There was one that you might have spotted standing next to you at a Cocteau Twins concert. Not only that he hung out with John Peel too…

Portrait Of The Young Man.
Over in North America they have a pub-standard league known as the MLS, which until the arrival of a certain individual was ignored pretty much everywhere. Now this league differs in the way that some players are signed for the teams. It is based on one used in another league – the NFL – and [...]
Everyone Is Singing For The Blues
After their Semi-Final wins I was hoping that musical fans of both [2009 FA Cup] teams would rush into their studios to record something… … but alas and as far as I know (please update me if this isn’t the case) nobody has bothered. Last year’s finalist (and winners) Pompey didn’t either, but luckily for [...]
Here’s Hoping For A Musical Final
I’m very happy to see the Blues and the err…the Blues… in the FA Cup Final. Not because of any disdain towards either of the losing semi-finalists but because football and music-wise, these two clubs in the past have produced some half decent tunes. Chelsea have one Suggs McPherson among their supporters, who has previous [...]
Seemed Like A Good Idea At The Time Part 3 – Duncan Ferguson
3rd post in a series of songs done about certain players which when looking back on it now… I read the news today (oh boy) about another Premiership footballer being arrested for being drunk and disorderly. Drunk and disorderly… hang on don’t I have something… Ah here we are. It is a re-worded version of [...]
Pat Nevin – 80′s Hearthrob
He played at Chelsea when it was unfashionable but he made it fashionable. Pat Nevin was the quintessential 80′s footballer…at least with his hairstyle. Looking like he could step in for any member of Duran Duran at the time. Pat was the leader of the footie playing floppy fringes as seen to the right there [...]
Jevons (A Ballad To)
Phil Jevons… Some of you have heard of him, some of you know of him – and one particular musician who is also a Grimsby fan sung about him. (Quite a spooky image I created there) For the uninitiated: Phil Jevons (a striker) was a product of Everton’s youth academy, but he didn’t successfully “graduate” [...]
[Subs Bench] Pete Doherty Upsets Everton Fans
Via the NME: Babyshambles man commits cardinal sin at Liverpool gig Pete Doherty played a surprise gig in Liverpool last Friday ( August 8) – but upset much of the crowd after a choosing controversial setlist. Playing at The Studio – an Everton venue – Doherty launched into a version of Liverpool’s anthem ‘You’ll Never [...]
Shine On You Kasey Keeper
February 10th, 1998. The Rose Bowl. Pasadena, California, USA. The CONCACAF Gold Cup Semi-Final. The host country, USA played the then World Cup holders, Brazil. And beat them. Sadly, because at the time there was zero interest by the American media (or the public) there are no reports to be found on the match. But [...]
A Posting With Gary Lineker
I can understand Wrighty’s sentiments about not wanting to sit on the sofa next to Hansen and Shearer anymore. I mean come on, not exactly sparkling company are they. But with the Beeb losing nearly every televisual rights to any decent footballing matches, (apart from the Jewson Home Counties under 14′s Sunday League), Ian Wright [...]
Those Everton Folk
Unlike the mysterious beginning at Stoke, or a pick of the pops selection at Crystal Palace, the history of the running out music as used by Everton is well documented. I was going to pose another open question as to where, when and why and how the theme from Z Cars is used at Goodison, [...]
One Moment In Time
I was going to post this no matter what the outcome of the Ipswich/Pompey match. Originally I was going to, as I did with the Coventry post, talk about their one and only FA Cup win. Then that one moment happen which changed it and I was going to focus on how Ipswich were playing [...]
The Orwellian Final
The 1984 FA Cup Final. Remember it ? No nobody does. It wasn’t a particularly memorable one but when I impart some information about who played you will be surprised that you don’t recollect something from that year. Music wise I am very disappointed by the two teams. They both had massive opportunities to capitalize [...]
