All the accessories required for that big match atmosphere
Hey pop pickers, I’d aimed to leave the all-time classics until the home stretch, but an overwhelming urge just came over me to add All I Want For Christmas Is A Dukla Prague Away Kit to the site. Perhaps the most famous HMHB song of all, and the one which launched a thousand replica shirts. Does anything else need to be said about this?
Update: it’s getting a few mentions, not surprisingly, in Name your favourite football-related song on TimesOnline…

The lyrics for this were more correctly set out by an American chap many years ago. They include:
There was one of a game
{? Odds scale ?} Amsterdam,
The cards are down;
…
It was a dodgy transformer, again and again.
It was a dodgy transformer, again and again.
It was a dodgy blue mass, again and again.
It was a dodgy transformer, cost 3 pounds 10.
So he sent his doting mother
Up the stairs with the stepladder,
To get the {? Sub-u-dome ?}
Out of the loft.
…
And then he said he’d be right back
While taking the base from under his left-wing.
Come to half-time, you were losing, four-nil.
Each and every goal, {? are partly because of some os his ?} stupid penalties.
So you smash up the floodlights
And the game was abandoned,
And the bog would bark
And you’d be banned from his house.
…
And now he’s working
In a job with a future.
He hands me my Gyro (as in gyroscope, not “hero”)
Every two weeks.

I wonder if you would consider expanding the final word
‘transformer’ to make it ‘ transformer…er’ – just a thought as its the way its usually sung I think
