Manchester United
'The devil,' it is often said, 'has all the best tunes.' But according to Jim Phelan of Exotica Records in South London, when it comes to tunes about football, the Red Devils of Manchester United have by far the most. Only Ajax and Liverpool come near.
Phelan reckons that around 200 tracks devoted to United have been recorded since the 1950s. They emerge from the unlikeliest sources too.
For example, Exotica's fourth United compilation album promises to include possibly the first ever Welsh language rap song (a tribute to Ryan Giggs), a soulful Dutch ballad about Jaap Stam (whom United controversially sold to Lazio), and United tributes by an Australian fan called Eddy Baroo, complete with traditional Ozzie accompaniments on the didgeridoo and wobble-board.
'Every football club at some point or another has enjoyed some degree of success, and with that comes this terrible obligation to make a record,' says the 53 year old Phelan, who hails from Stockport, a few miles from Old Trafford.
