A postscript to the 1970′s rebellious footballer mini-series with a look at what a couple of them did together after they retired from playing…
Everybody remembers that night of the 15th of January, 1995…
This is the 2nd entry in a mini-series looking at music used in films about football.
Latest team news is that ‘arry is going to throw them under the bus give the kids another run out in the UEFA Cup 2nd leg against Shakhtar Donetsk on Thursday. This gives us the chance to see the new Clown Prince of goalkeepers in action… Pictured above: Gomes in…
This is the second post in what has turned into an unplanned series about pretty boy footballers. The first one was the 80′s throwback Pat Nevin and today it is – going by the image I found of him below – Henrik Larsson. Just like Nevin the younger Larsson fancied…
My full time werk is keeping me away from here. I’ll try to post something when I can. Today’s post needs your involvement: The gossip/paparrazi website TMZ.com has Derek and Skeletor on their radar since they moved to La La Land, but recently Mr C.Ronaldo went over to L.A for…
You’d think that with him being there for so long, there’s bound to a few decent songs done about him. Well there isn’t. There is this very weak effort done by a mentioned in a couple of other posts studio group: » The Rainbow Choir – Ryan Giggs We Love…
There were many different versions of that song, but when I were a kid the one was about the style of walk and a certain bit of woman’s attire that he allegedly wore.
Previously I posted items about lesser known footballers, such as Fulham’s Les Barrett and Plymouth’s Barrie Vassallo. Today it is the turn of Scotia born Willie Morgan who in the 70′s turned out for Burnley, then Man U before going back to Burnley. Sporting Heroes.net has a one paragraph summary…
You have probably guessed that if I’m doing a series of posts with bad song, it is going to get increasingly worse before… well actually it isn’t going to get better any time soon. Sorry. Look don’t blame me. I am only the messenger. Ok the advanced warning is given,…
Somewhat belatedly… I mentioned in a previous Prediction League mailout that the 1st week of February was a bit of a black hole music-wise. Specifically with February 3rd, 1959 and the aircrash which took the lives of Buddy Holly, Richie Valens & The Big Bopper. But it wasn’t just in…
I’m not writing that as a taunt, but as a comment on his efforts to prolong his playing time when it was obviously over. I can understand footballers wanting to starve off retirement, because as we’ve seen when you finally stop there is a danger of going on a downward…
A slip in the muddy grass changed everything. This time though it wasn’t an English player who blew it for his team. Yes I know that Terry had that golden chance but in the end it was Le Sulk who gave van der Sar an easy effort to save. It…
Singing footballers… As we’ve seen they are everywhere. They are also watching on a television in Freetown and after viewing Sunday’s title decider inspired to write a song about the event. Via the Beeb: Sierra Leone ode to Man Utd win A former Sierra Leone international footballer has composed a…
In April 2010 I wrote about the Manchester derby, highlighting it again because of the FA Cup Semi-Final…
Early kick off on Sunday for the biggest* derby in the Premier League as the Blues leave the City and go out into the wilds of Greater Manchester. * Old Trafford has a capacity of 76,212 It is…
Huh…? Wha….? Is it over…? *Rubs eyes* What did I miss…? Nothing…? .. not a single goal..? What I did see Ronnie Ronaldo falling down every time he was challenged, I should have done something with the prediction league where the players had to guess how…
Why do you always hurt the one you love the most…?
The weather is closing in, getting a bit nippy outside of a night. Perfect time to post some calypso music… I’ve previously posted a couple of football and calypso music tracks here and here – this is part one of a two part post that will gather them all together….
It’s been hyped up so much that you know it’s going to be a dire game. We’ve seen it happen with FA Cup Final matches and I reckon – although I’d love to be proved wrong – that this one is going to be the same. Both teams will probably…
