Best Song by a Footballer/Team ?

Jazzy

We all know how skilled these men are with a ball at their feet, but sometimes its only when they have a mic in hand that they really shine.
So, what do you think is the best ever song by a footballer or even an entire team? (I am ofc ripping the p1ss and am just looking for a good giggle at the expense of some millionaires )

My picks:
Gazza - Fog on the Tyne
Hoddle & Waddle - Diamond Lights
Liverpool FC - Anfield Rap (watch for Barnes rapping, priceless)
New Order - World in Motion (John Barnes raps in it so therefore it counts )


any other choice picks from these untapped musical maestros ?

10 out of 10 for effort, but this really is scraping the barrell.

And only 1 english player that I could see - Sol Campbell. A little strange considering nearly every player to play for France EVER is in it.

World in motion is the only quality footy song I've ever heard.

Frankly I think the English should change a few of the lyrics here and there and adopt it as their national anthem.

fully agree there.
just imagine Neville, Gerrard, Ferdinand & co. shouting "EXPRESS YOURSELF!" while singing it. going by wat some of our rugby pundits think of national anthems, england would win every game if theirs was world in motion

When the 2002 world cup was on I was in a niteclub and the DJ put on "Put 'em under pressure" at the end of the night and the place erupted, forgot the effect the song had on people, (albeit drunk!).

Also I'm not a Liverpool fan but I thought Anfield rap was pretty funny!

Ok this ones strictly not a song by a footballer or a team but its a song about a footballer so it sort of fits in. Probably the greatest song about football ever and I'm not even a Leeds fan..

Strachan by The Hitchers.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qANrbDBOjA

She waited for the match to start
to start a fight up with me.
She said, "what's that you're watching?",
"It's a Programme about art".
She said, "A Programme about art?", I said
"A programme about art" and then the greatest
midfield artist of them all walked out onto the park.
The crowd were on their feet and they whistled and
they cheered for the tiny wee Scotsman
with the copper coloured hair.
She said, "You just don't care, You never listen you know"
Lukic out to Wetherall and Wetherall to Dorigo.
Dorigo knocks it on to Fairclough, Fairclough looks for Speed.
Now she's ranting like a lunatic, "I'm switching off that telly".
"Look at me while I'm talking to you!"
To Strachan now -puts Kelly through
There's one man pulling all the strings and twenty-two
know damn well who.
The air begins to thicken. Inside the box Strachan has stricken
The gap unfilled -he makes the kill -One-Nil

She waited for the match to start
to start a fight up with me.
She said, "what's that you're watching?",
"It's a Programme about art".
She said, "A Programme about art?", I said
"A programme about art" and then the artist
tackles perfectly and floats over the park
to the waiting Rodney Wallace who knocks
it back in to Deane and now the Deane Machine
to McAllister and McAllister's just seen
that Gordon Strachan slipped his marker
and he's free now in space
he's got 'em pouring forward spraying the ball
all over the place.
Now Gary Speed is involved again, he steadies the ball.
"am I talking to myself?", she says, "or talking to the wall?"
"Will you look at me while I'm talking to you!"
To Strachan now -puts Fairclough through
There's one man pulling all the strings and twenty-two
know damn well who.
The air gets even thicker.
The 'keepers quick -Gordon Strachan's quicker.
The gap unfilled -he makes the kill -Two-Nil.

She waited for the match to start
to start a fight up with me.
She said, "what's that you're watching?",
"It's a Programme about art".
"If you don't take your grief and bad vibes and get out of my face
I'm gonna sit right here and whistle my way through Melrose Place"

You could've lit the air in the room with a matchstick,
McAllisters cross sets up Strachans hat-trick
The gap unfilled -Strachans skill -Three-Nil

i know the title is best song ... but i have the worst song. worse that any pass and move its the liverpool groove or waddle and hoddle.

this my friends is the worst song and video ever starring once again Chris Waddle and Basile Boli during their time in Marseille.

Good choice. Their "sequel" song "4.30 two down" is also a top footie song about the pain of yet another impending defeat for your team on the Saturday arvo.

Much like Samson it was Waddle's mullet that gave him his footballing power. He cut it off before THAT GAME and was subsequently doomed before he even walked towards the penalty spot.

Don't shun the mullet!

Ha ha! Forgot all about that one. Haven't heard it in years. One of the bestest daftest bands ever.

Anyway back on topic, footballers+singing=cringe and aural pain.
