It’s an almost-country style (almost – but not quite) dirge which is difficult to place in terms of era – it’s certainly not revealing in that it doesn’t mention any players or notable occasions. Perhaps there is a clue that it mentions ‘the old Trent End’ and ‘the new Main Stand’ – which would place [...]

It seems European football sparks a myriad of musical output – so perhaps we should be thankful that this trade has abated or we’d be flooded with nonsense records released by a bunch of scousers, prawn-sandwich eating cock-er-neys and, well, people from anywhere in the country other than Manchester! Today’s inclusion is called Magic in [...]

We’re back on the trail of cheesy music, and this one sounds like it’s loosely based on ‘Who wants to be a Millionnaire?’ to me, although I could be wrong – and features dubious voice-impersonator appearances from not only the predictable Brian Clough, but also Margaret Thatcher who, of course, would have been relatively new [...]

Njaal Helle provides the latest stop off on our tour of cheese, and it’s not the only time we’ll hear from him either. Upon attempting to research him a bit, it appears that Njaal has reinvented himself and a specialist in music and photos for weddings, but certainly back in the day he clearly considered [...]

I can barely bring myself to include this travesty. Given the standard of much of the music I have inflicted upon you so far, and indeed intend to ongoing, that is saying something. The guilty parties on this recording are none other than Viv Anderson and Trevor Francis, believe it or not, singing ‘You’ll never [...]

We remain in the era of European domination from the Reds for the next song on our roster of shame. It is performed by Karl and the Heidelbergers, and certainly has the ambience of a bierkeller about it – with some almost-oompah type brass music and strangely sober sounding people talking about someone called “Ashleh!” [...]

We’re now onto the really dubious musical detritus that our beloved Reds have inspired. This little number is contributed to us courtesy of a chap called Vic Blackwell, and ‘Forest fans‘ whoever they might be. We are returning back to the late 70′s/early 80′s so plenty of references to the European Cup winning team. Vic [...]

Take yourself back to 1991, the mighty Nottingham Forest had reached the FA Cup final to face Terry Venable’s Tottenham, and indeed, the mesmerising Paul Gascoigne on what was – at that time – our annual trip to Wembley to sing for Brian Clough’s army. I seem to recall there was some kind of bland [...]

I know it’s been less than 24 hours, but I’ve been itching to post this festival of cheese ever since I heard it, so I’m going to! This is track two on the CD, and despite featuring our messiah and saviour, Brian Clough, I’m afraid it doesn’t really elevate it beyond the level of utter [...]

A friend of mine gave me a copy of this CD the other day, whilst I’d heard Paper Lace’s anthemic European Cup record, and dimly remembered the ‘Brian’ song from the 1991 FA Cup season, I hadn’t realised that Forest had been sufficiently inspirational to give rise to 20 odd tracks of largely dubious audio.
