Interesting fact for football fans

In the top ten of football anthems, Leeds United's iconic "Marching on together" is number five, however as this is the only song in the charts that was specifically written for the great club & all the others were never intended as football anthems but were pinched then it obviously makes it the greatest football anthem ever.

Everton's? It was originally adopted as an anthem of the working classes then taken on in several forms as a football anthem by several clubs, there are several iconic anthems adopted by football clubs but no club can specifically say they own them, even perhaps the most iconic of all, "You'll never walk alone" was stolen by Liverpool & Celtic.
"Marching on together" was written for & will always be associated with Leeds United & no other football club although the egg chasers at headingley seem to have borrowed it.

What about 'You're going to get your f*ck*ng head kicked in'?

Don't think that was based on a Billboard 100 tune?

Anyway, just thought of one that blows your 'uniqueness' out of the water.....'Blue is the Colour' Chelsea Fc.

"Marching on together" is sung several times at every Leeds United game, home and away.
How often is "blue is the colour" sung? Don't think anybody under thirty will have ever heard it.

Last time I went to Chelsea I was sung 43 times.

Another is 'World Cup Willie'.
