Jukebox Durie: Football & Music: The stories behind the songs sung by fans of every team in England & Wales and Scotland (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

Football and music can be magical. It can combine to create something exhilarating as 30,000 voices together inspire heroic feats: Liverpool fighting back from 3 – 0 down against AC Milan in the 2005 Champions League Final as the crowd sang ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’; Pavarotti’s ‘Nessun Dorma’ dragging the culture of football from hooligan to cool again; while Frank Skinner and David Baddiel’s ‘Football’s Coming Home’ raised the very brief prospect of a repeat of 1966, before England crashed to Germany in the semi-final of the 1996 European Championships. Football and music doesn’t have a proud history – remember Vindaloo? Shudder - but it has a secret history, untold rich tales that mirror and reflect the links between clubs and fans as songs record the highs, the lows, the dreams and the reality of what it means to be a football fan. Jukebox Durie tracks down and chronicles the stories behind the best and worst anthems for every football league club in England & Wales and in Scotland. You may not agree with all of our choices. We haven’t always picked the most well-known song, but each song chosen reflects something unique about the club and the fans that sing it.
