Wow, I was surprised Forest had inspired so much musical dedications, but WREXHAM?!

Vic is responsible for many of the vocals on the track, including Brian Clough impression, scouse accent at the end, the conductor (at the start), the patrons of “The Queens”. He wrote, recorded and produced all of the track single handedly, and played all of the instruments. He did similar tracks for many teams in the 80′s including Wrexham, Liverpool, Middlesborough, Arsenal etc.

Arf. It’s keeping me entertained though – checking through my tracklist, you have to wait until part 11 until you get the glory that is Forest Fire!

I did warn you about this, NFFC!

I was hoping you would skip straight to ‘Forest Fire’. Now 30 years after it’s release that song still gets me going.

“When things were tough, in walked Clough
He’s not the same, he knows the game.
He’s lit the fire,
We’re climbing higher.
That fire, fire, fire he started….

Forest fire, Forest fire,
We are climbing higher and higher”

Marvellous. A work of genius.
