My brother's friend went to England years ago and came home with the "Football's Coming Home" by Baddiel and Skinner or whatever. I think it was the 98 edition. Anyway, I've always really liked it. Are there any other songs like that for any sport?

They played it as the team walked out during the England vs. Italy Under-21 match at Wembley and it was awesome. Do they always do that for England home matches?
I used to have some song on my computer about David Beckham where some guy was playing the piano and bitching about his red card against Argentina. Don't know where it went. |

In the distance I see Wayne Rooney falling to the ground Looks like he's gonna give, then looks like he's not But finally the referee is pointing to the spot It's all come down to this then, It's like everybody says As I stare into the eyes of Fabien Barthez Will I go left?, Will I go right? Haven't decided yet Sod it! I'll just stick the thing in the back of the bloody net I let go with my right boot, my whole world begins to freeze I'm begging the silver ball, please go in please I see a union jack in the air as somebody waves it But my whole world is in dispair cos Barthez saves it - Chorus Dry your eyes Becks I know it's hard to take but as I said before like There's plenty more games in group B Dry your eyes Becks You'll have a chance to proove yourself against the swiss on Thursday Or at the end of the day like, It's over - So then the lads start looking at me as if I've commited a crime But we're still 1-0 up going into injury time The ref checks his watch and we all look at the clocks Then Heskey commits a foul on the edge of our box We all regroup and make a wall, stand there hand in hand There's no sign of Posh at all, anywhere in the stand# We all know what they're gonna do, it can only be one man They all call him Zizou, his name is Zindine Zidane I wonder if he remembers how in the tunnel I gave him a kiss I wonder if it'll please, please make him miss! But now he sticks in the net which means now we're all level And all I've got left are the tears of Gary Neville - Chorus Dry your eyes Becks I know it's hard to take but as I said before like There's plenty more games in group B Dry your eyes Becks You'll have a chance to proove yourself against the swiss on Thursday Or at the end of the day like, It's over - We're all over the shop, when will the ref blow the whistle? We're not playing like England no more, more like Partick Thistle We need a pep talk, a speech, a sermon Cos we're not getting anything from this ref, who just happens to be German There he goes again, giving out a yellow card When suddenly the ball breaks to Steven Gerrard I see the hopes of a nation, all gone up in flames With a lunge of despairation from our keeper David James The referee points to the spot, God I'd give you a million quid If you please please make Zidane do what I did. But he sticks it in the net, how could I think he would miss Cos I'm starting to regret giving Zidane that kiss - Chorus Dry your eyes Becks I know it's hard to take but as I said before like There's plenty more games in group B Dry your eyes Becks You'll have a chance to proove yourself against the swiss on Thursday Or at the end of the day like, It's over |

Footballs coming home is the only sports song worth mentioning. Love hearing it whenever its played at an England game, always uplifting when played at Wembley to. You should've seen it in Euro 96 when the Euro championships were in England and that song was first released in that year. Too bad we lost in the semi's to Germany, they fucking stole it in the final i think to.

Don't Come Home Too Soon by Del Amitri is a good football song. Better than Football's Coming Home, both as a song and in being realistic about a team's expectations.
It was for Scotland at World Cup '98 by the way. Last edited by El Capitano Gatisto; 05-08-2007 at 11:30 AM. |

It was the Saints "theme" song for all of last season.. U2 preformed it before the week three game against the Falcons, which was the reopening of the superdome..
Close enough.. |

Well no more than any other popular band who go on for years and years. Also they didn't write that song.

I think the Hurricane by Bob Dylan would technically count but I doubt it's what you're looking for.

I can't believe nobody mentioned "World In Motion" yet. It pains me to say it (being Scottish and all) but this is the best football song ever.
Well other than "Do The Wright Thing" ![]() |

The only lyrics I remember from this Beckham song are "And as for David Beckham..." so I don't think it was that one. I'd imagine there are plenty though.
