Songs with footballers in their titles

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 don't know the Barmy Army that much.

Roberto Baggio / non e un miraggio.

I can hear it in my head and feel sure I haven't imagined it.

Man, I'd completely forgotten about that song for ten years.

and pushing it, in more ways that one Prolapse - Surreal Madrid.

I don't know who did the song.

nice.

Guy Roux has a new label

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fu_54V9HPlk

and from the man himself, "After a long career in soccer as a coach, I'd like to present you with my dream team composed of 11 players. Each player will be represented by a track, it'll be a free download and there will also be some extra content on my Instagram page. Let’s start with one of the craziest goal keeper ever: Rene Higuita aka « El loco »"

Seems like the right place for this

Probably should have this here too

If there's a better UK drill song about a former West Brom and Newcastle striker I'd like to hear it

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xXbY6pmXMJM

I'm fairly sure I heard about this one on Match Of The Day last year. Sean Dyche isn't a fan iirc

The most unlikely footballer to have had a song written about them?

Not a big seller in Scotland tbh.

Looks like Benzema is next for Guy Roux

Mike and Lal Waterson / Danny Rose

Omz Trapstar - Dele Alli

Jesus, imagine writing a song about him.

It appears it's mostly for the "I supply Kane" wordplay.

That's the second best Alli-related song I've ever heard, after this one

It appears it's mostly for the "I supply Kane" wordplay.

:D :D

Trying to think of footballers with songtitles in their names (not these ones), but drawing a blank so far

I feel like Boys for Pele ought to count

Paul Pogba...

Footballer

It's the perfect rhyme

BLKCITY - "POGBA"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-jDwbSFl8vM

Also, as it's a New Zealand band, I get to feel alarmed that the vid was made at the pitch near where I live, though not as alarmed as we'd be if Pogba showed up in the Auckland 2nd division
