Gerry and the Pacemakers, with this song,
never could have known,
how famous their anthem would become
with Liverpool’s – ‘You’ll never walk alone!
‘When The Saints go marching in’,
is Southampton’s trusted tune.
Whilst Man City supporters identified,
with their version of – ‘Blue Moon’.
I’m Forever Blowing Bubbles;
synonymous with West Ham & Bobby Moore.
Whilst ‘Z Cars’ -the theme of Everton,
and also Watford, but why – I’m not sure?
The Dave Clark Five’s ‘Glad All Over’,
brings out Crystal Palace smiles.
Whilst up at Tranmere Rovers,
they run out to – ‘The Rockford Files’.
The theme from 633 Squadron,
I hear, is Bolton Wanderers song,
and ‘Im A Believer’ by The Monkees,
is sung at Wigan, by their army strong.
‘Is this the way to Amarillo’
fills Chesterfield fans with fire,
and Stoke City’s anthem – ‘Delilah’,
from Tom Jones, confirms their desire.
Aston Villa I’m told, come out to,
– Black Sabbath’s ‘Paranoid’,
Whilst Arsenal prefer ‘The Clash’,
though if I’m wrong, they’ll be annoyed.
Club Anthems always touching,
sending arrows to the heart,
as generations come together;
a way of life, right from the start.
Whether playing in the Sunday Leagues,
with Dad stood on the touch-line,
or being the one in a million,
who for a top club, sign.
No difference, the commitment.
No less thrilling is the game.
Football is an institution,
loved by young and old the same.
