    I'll "kick off" with "I had an uncle who once played, for Red Star Belgrade"

    "Football fans fight cos United's at home", the state of things (I think) Reverend and the Makers. I assume they're talking about the Blunts as John McClure's a big Wednesday fan.

    Pretty much any Half Man Half Biscuit song but we'll go with "I Went to a Wedding":

    And at a table nearby I heard a girl saying
    To a tall balding guest
    So you’re Brad Friedel
    - I’m mildly impressed

    This one doesn't just mention football, it's about a football player and it mentions us!

    Another day in June, we pick eleven for football.
    We're playing for our lives, the referee gives us f*ck all.

    Chuck Prophet's last record was a love letter to San Francisco, but for some reason he keeps yelling "Manchester United" in the title track? I shall endeavour to get to the bottom of this curious phenomena and report back.

    Page three girls get you excited,
    You support Rangers and Man United,
    All you do all day is take up space,
    With a stupid look, on your stupid face.

    No, it's not about all Rangers fans or all protestants.

    The phenomenal Luke Haines released "Leeds United EP" a few years ago. Not his best work, more recently he did a concept album about the glory days of British Wrestling.
