From Simply Red’s We’re In This Together to The Fall’s Theme from Sparta FC, part two of our musical football moments countdown celebrates the weird and wonderful soundtracks that defined the game’s culture — Euro 96’s forgotten anthem, USA ’94’s gospel overdrive, Portsmouth’s pre-match folk, Scotland’s bagpipe pop, and Mark E Smith reading the football results. Football. Music. Madness.

From Coventry’s Go For It! to Terry Venables’ swing-era stylings, football’s musical past is packed with charm and chaos. In this first part of our Top 10 countdown, we revisit the best — and worst — musical football moments: Coventry City’s FA Cup single, Half Man Half Biscuit’s ode to Dukla Prague, St Pauli’s AC/DC anthem, Yeovil’s chart hit, and El Tel’s jazzy detour.

In 1967, the Dallas Tornado embarked on football’s wildest world tour. Over six months they crossed 30 countries, from Iran to Vietnam, playing 45 matches and surviving riots, bomb scares, and the chaos of a game still finding its feet in America. Led by Lamar Hunt and Bob Kap, this squad of amateurs helped lay the foundations for U.S. soccer — one unforgettable stop at a time.
