    Strachan LUFC

    Rare find - great song about football
    I thought the best one was 'Gods Footballer' by Billy Bragg (yeah, I love melancholy stuff) but 'Strachan' is so good I feel like pulling on a white jersey
    Surprised that this was released in 1997 but I only stumbled across it in a Songlines CD compilation

        Australia did it better



        Albeit a different game with a similar name

          Aaah man, I've no real idea why (other than boredom, of course) but spent a good while the other day watching spectacular mark compilations on the old Youtube. Truly majestic. Made me wish I followed Aussie rules more (or at all).

              Have you seen The Club? Guy? It's the best film about sport ever made IMHO, and closes with this song.

                I'll likely get demerits on this board for putting up this music video. But someone's posted an Aussie Rules video above, so what the heck ...

                This is a Melissa Etheridge song; the video's about a high school (American) football coach. Visually interesting and a great song.

                If you're an American who grew up with (American) football, this video will get your emotions going.

                  Yes, The Club is a great film, possibly one of the best Australian films ever, not just sport

                    Another great song by Theme Tune Boy that sums up my football experience in music
                    (you need a teeny bit of patience as the intro interviewer is speaking Irish but the song that follows deserves a million views)

                      I think this deserves a mention, too if we're talking football songs which deserve a wider audience.

                        Turns out that songwriter Theme Tune Boy is aka Niall Quinn who was the drummer of the Hitchers and the guy who wrote 'Strachan'

                          Certainly trumps the BA Robertson pish.
