[Football] 1983 FA Cup final - the official playlist

[Wozza]

I see there's an official Milk Cup (or whatever) playlist. Is this a 'thing' now?



Anyway, what would the official 1983 FA Cup final playlist look like?

Starting with the obvious...

1) Brighton & Hove Albion - The Boys In The Old Brighton Blue

I remember being in the car on the way up to Wembley, and David Bowie's "Let's Dance" come on the radio, whilst the driver, a friend of my Dad's casually announced that he used to go to school with Bowie! The song, "Words" by FR David is inextricably linked to the semi-final win at Highbury.. my sister bought it that day and played it endlessly, literally endlessly that evening when we got back..

Well, I think this was in the charts at the time. Not particularly football related, or happy, but a fantastic song.

Ha ha. The Cup final playlist needed to be complied before the final.

A post-final playlist would look very different....

Another message to Smith from my '83 holiday in Barbados.

Job done. Just play it on a loop. Who'd complain?

You'll be surprised and delighted to learn that I won't be offering a contribution

I still remember this being played by Steve Wright and dedicated to the Albion the day after the replay

Bad fan, I wasn’t at Wembley.

Instead boozing in Brighton, dancing and taking advantage of a dearth of males out that night.

Oh go on. You must have 'Blue Striped Lion Tree Trousers by The Wibble Dilbert Corporation' and the accompanying video?

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Booooh

Mmmm.....I hate to see you sad, so.....OK then.....

The problem is that 1983 has some of my favourite tracks ever so once I start....

OK I'll stop.
