What is the best football song?

On the back of our Seasons Change episode, Matt and Nick talk footie and music. In particular, the lads talk about their favourite football songs and why these are vastly superior to the likes of Sweet Caroline which often accompanies England FC games these days.Speaking of England, Nick's choice for the national team is Vindaloo with his Chelsea selection being Sugg's Blue Day. This prompts Nick to talk about how modern day football songs are missing a distinct "geezery" quality to them these days.Matt sings the praises of Three Lions and reminds listeners, that far from being an arrogant song from the England fans, it is actually a tune which laments historic failures from the national team and yearns for the summer of 1966 when the Men's Team last won the World Cup. Thankfully the Lionesses brought major silverware home in 2023 when they won the European Cup.There are some off-beat mentions for World in Motion, Fool's Gold by the Stone Roses, Absurd by Fluke, Meat Pie Sausage Roll by Grandad Roberts and his Song Elvis and the Footie Song by Adam Buxton and Joe Cornish.Of course listeners, you can tell us your favourites by contacting us via the following...Blue Sky @fplpodvstok.bsky.socialInsta @ fplpodvstok2024Email - [email protected] can also tell us what you think makes a good football song.
