Name a good song about football

It is interesting that I can't think of many great songs about sport, full stop, in the history of music. Presumably there are loads of rap songs using basketball analogies. Only song I can think of off the top of my head is "Friendly game of baseball" by main source.

"Police dogs in Luton / oh we had such fun / police dogs in Luton / police dogs on the run"

Was going to drop this in the Brexit thread:

Scientist - Dangerous Match 1

This is technically cheating as the Scientist Wins the World Cup album is a compilation of dubs of songs that have nothing to do with football whatsoever - for instance, Dangerous Match 1 is actually a dub of Johnny Osbourne's Love is Universal which features zero mentions of soccer
 

hucks

Your Message Here
One of the best things about football chants is that you can hear the regional dialects in them. The Liverpool chants and songs are very scouse. The Celtic version of YNWA is audibly Glaswegian. I guess that’s part of the ‘yob’ thing that classist snob Corpsey referred to above- there’s a voice you put on to do football chanting and it has a local aspect to it.

Even with Norwich, my team, you can pick out the local/ country bumpkin pronunciations.

Anyway World In Motion is a great tune and yous are all fuckin idiots.

2002 north london, don't think I'll ever see a turkish team coming third place in a world cup ever again. Hakan sukur's goal in the first 30 seconds against south Korea...

This and So Solid Crew. @luka is right, none of this is underground, it's right there all across the streets.
