    great site.

    reminds me of this 45 from jorge ben, which has an ode to flamengo...



    (file next to his 45 about falcao, or fio maravilha or ponta de lan??a africano, or one of his other football songs i may have missed...)

    Simonal has a few football songs as well, iirc.

    but back to Jorge Ben:



    is he the GOAT football song composer? It's hard to compete because you're competing against Jorge Fucking Ben, but does anyone else come close?

    I have a few african records that feature songs about football, like that Disco Soccer one. They're fun songs, but it's no Jorge Ben.

    I'm feeling a little nostalgic from back in the day. Post up a track that makes you go back. Soul, House, Madchester, WHATEVER.

    You mean, other than New Order? at John Barnes' rippity rap. (Apologies to all you UK dudes that are probably sick of this, but I just discovered it yesterday).

    The Anfield rap is a fucking classique!

    one time I was at my regular soccer bar in NYC watching some international friendlies and England was scheduled to play, I think, the USA. It also happened to be Fleet Week, so all of a sudden the bar filled up with british sailors who came in to watch the game. Once the match was over the bartender put on a mix of 90s football songs like this one:



    A bar full of English dudes in sailor outfits singing and dancing along to "Football's Coming Home" and that vindaloo song is the most inadvertently gay thing I've ever seen.

    Dude - if they were sailors, they probably were gay!

    remember when Bulgaria knocked out Mexico in the 94 WC?



    and one of the players decided to conduct a rectal examination during the celebrations?

    I have to post this here because I spent 45 minutes photoshopping it and got straight chirps in the royal baby thread.

    What's the story behind the matching sashes?

    I have no idea. Is dude holding a Remington shaver?

    I don't watch Game of Thrones so I have no clue what that picture is about.

    God shave the queen.
    Dude looks Nordic, but wouldn't be wearing a toga.
    Guessing then its a Roman or Greek one.
    Lets try for Zeus,

    As seen through a prism of Americaness, where rugged 'outdoorsmen' swan around other people's lawns armed with shavers for when facing off against nasty bears, snakes and Queens, all whilst looking like a mash up of Kris Kristofferson and Dennis Wilson.

    Case solved.

    Electrode literally said "Zeus shave the queen" in the other thread, so that is, indeed, Zeus. I would have gone with a straight razor, but it was hard enough photoshopping the lightning bolt out of his hand and shopping in the shaver. The matches sashes was just a happy accident.

    The more you know.

    Here's an image that's a little easier to decipher.

    Just to say the latest Duckworth Lewis album is a minor masterpiece of sunshine pop and cricket psych.
    Dude is surely the greatest extant songwriter du jour.
    That is all, carry on.

    I was unaware of the cricket psych genre.

    TBH Cricket itself is a lane in which I have never driven.

    We never played cricket where I went to school, however it appears to be popular in Nottinghamshire. Alas my exposure to the game is limited to memories of 1970s Summer Holiday BBC2 test match stonewall-fests (minutes of ball-polishing :ayo:, uninterrupted bird chirrups, distant jet rumble, and "Richie... er... ..Benaud here with you this afternoon.")

    and

    Freddie Trueman hosting "Wheeltappers and Shunters" on a dinner time when I ran back home from Juniors to make cheese on toast. Knitted-cream-colour cardie, gold chain and tankard-style pint in hand.

    Indoor League, surely?

    Bar billiards;



    Table football (none of this colonial "foosball" nonsense)



    Finally, the nail-biting drama and high-octane thrills that is...shove ha'penny.

    CORRECT.

    These are proper 1970s memories, thick with the dust of time. A good wipe of them now, with a fingertip coated in Stardrops, reveals it was indeed Norman Collier and that "Committee" bloke on "Wheeltappers".

    "Pebble Mill At One" filed right next to these.

    Indoor League w/ Trueman was a lunchtime staple.
    Along with the afore-mentioned, there was darts, skittles and arm wresting.

    Happy days. Also see: Crown Court.
