Soccer Songs? UK Gift To The World Sorta…

Sure, the US has its own but listening to the gung ho jogoism of the top ten single Leeds United anthem from the UK reminds how sdifficult it is to sing a song easy enough to a ) be remembered and b) to be chanted.
Joan Jett once told me she based part of her sngwriting around the thematic singalongs of soccer. From “I Love Rock And Roll” to “Rock And Roll Part One” to “Glory Glory Man United” is a tiny step for man. *”And the reds go marching on” of course).
I had a friend who was once a soccer hooligan and he tried to explain his feelings for Everton but ended up mutterring stuff about family.
I guess rock and roll is a family as well: marching on together like lemmings.
