The Sporting Life by The Decemberists deserves a place on the list.

"And father had had such hopes
For a son who would take the ropes
And fulfill all his old athletic aspirations
But apparently now there's some complications "

I think it is a great song about the burden of parental expectations.

What about The Boy Done Good...

"Now I feel like I've won the cup every time that we
make love
Forty-five minutes each way, at halftime I hear a brass
band play"

Mark Kobayashi-Hillary, London, London

steve reynolds, benidorm,

I'm disapointed there is no Mention of Morrissey's "munich air Disaster" song.. a poignant and rhythmic song well worth a mention

Paul, altrincham,

What about another Billy Bragg track - "God's Footballer"...

"God's Footballer hears the voices of angels
Above the choir at Molyneux....
He scores goals on a Saturday
And he saves souls on a Sunday"

James Welham, Uxbridge,

“There is no real substitute for a ball struck firmly and squarely.”
That's 'squarely and firmly' ;]
Let's not forget Goal Hanger either, Mr Bragg sure does a damn fine job with the football references

In the Blues club George Best does rule...
