Match of the Day by Genesis. Never a single, but worth a listen.



Written 46 years ago but could have been written yesterday, were it not for the line "We paid £400,000 for him, you know"

Attilla’s “Role up for the donkey derby” wasn’t very complimentary about Gary O’Reilly, then of Palace.

This references an ex-Albion player. Around 01:10 if you're feeling impatient but worth listening to the whole song in my opinion as it's decent.

I heard this single on a juke box in a completely shit pub in Manchester in the late 1980s (fortunately since demolished), just outside Piccadilly station. Fortunately there doesn't seem to be an on-line recording of it.

Horrible player, terrible pub, atrocious song.
