Thread of songs that mention genuine footballers.

[Juan Albion]

Don't think we've done this one.

And don't include official club recordings.

I'll begin with:

"Caroline Wheeler's Birthday Present" by the Jazz Butcher

"SAUSAGES! Caroline Wheeler's Birthday Present was made entirely from the skins of dead Jim Morrisons (Scattered over dawn's bleeding highway, I suppose...): that's why it smelled so bad. Caroline Wheeler checked into the lobby of the Bruce Grobelaar Leisure Centre (they check in, but they don't check out) - she was looking for a room where she could sit down and get herself back in order (ORDER!)..."

Weird but wonderful...

 

[Bluejuice]

"...And now I see Ince ready for war
Gazza good as before
Shearer ready to score
And Psycho screaming

Three Lions on the shirt
Jules Rimet still gleaming..."




You know the song

 

[The Clown of Pevensey Bay]

"Bob Wilson: Anchorman" by HMHB

Damn you! I knew Best was mentioned on an Undertones song, but I couldn't remember which.

'Billy Hunt' by the Jam. A defender called Billy Hunt made one appearance for Villa in the Fifties. And, yes, I'm ashamed that I know that.
