Favourite sporting songs

[benchmark00]

There's a thread floating around here about sporting songs but it's chiefly directed at chants at sporting grounds.

The following, so good... the memories:

YouTube - Mike Brady - AFL Up there Cazaly

YouTube - One Day In September

YouTube - Red Hot Go - Greg Champion

YouTube - Greg Champion - That's the thing about football

YouTube - North Melbourne Kangaroos

 

[Pratters]

I don't like cricket, I love it.

 

[GIMH]

Three Lions

 

[Jono]

One Day In September is so so so good.

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

I don't like cricket, I love it.

Also a pretty handy guide of how not to get mugged in Jamaica, apparently.

Incidentally, the line "don't queer on me pitch" gets a good work out from me as a result of that song.

Vindaloo by Fat Les - featuring Keith "Father of Lily" Allen on lead vocals.

England's Irie - Black Grape "Internatzionale psyche; you dive, we no likey" as true today as when it was written, tbh.

Eat My Goal - Collapsed Lung

****in' 'Ell, It's Fred Titmus - Half Man, Half Biscuit - the world's second best known Tranmere fans tribute to the toe-challanged Middlesex offie.

When An Old Cricketer Leaves The Crease - Roy Harper - quite beautiful.

Cricket - The Kinks - namechecks googlies, offspin & LBWs.

Abide with me
fast falls the eventide
the darkness deepens
Lord, with me abide
When other helpers fail and comforts flee
Help of the helpless
O abide with me

 

[Castrol]

Let meeeeeeeeeeeeee entertain you!

 

[superkingdave]

Meat Pie Sausage Roll - Unfortunately this is the England version not the original

 

[Goughy]

Abide with me
fast falls the eventide
the darkness deepens
Lord, with me abide
When other helpers fail and comforts flee
Help of the helpless
O abide with me

Its not quite the same nowadays but when I was a kid on Cup Final day my Mum would sit down for Abide with Me and leave before the footy started.

Haha, some of them aren't too bad.

cause he's only got 12 mates / cause he's got holes in his hands / cause his Dad'll fix the game / cause shepherds are illegal, etc. Love it.

 

[duffer]

He's got a twitch, he's got a twitch!

and any variation of the "who ate all the pies, you fat bastard, you fat bastard"

 

[ripper868]

Haha, some of them aren't too bad.

cause he's only got 12 mates / cause he's got holes in his hands / cause his Dad'll fix the game / cause shepherds are illegal, etc. Love it.

his headgear isn't legal/sandals got no tags

he also can't be touchy cause his arms point both ways
