Sung to the tune of Joy Division's classic "Love Will Tear You Apart," this one remains a firm favourite of the Old Trafford faithful. Who put the ball in the German's net? Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, that's who! This one was penned for a certain Norwegian striker. There are many songs dedicated to the Treble-winning side and its specific players. This song, taken from their self-titled album, is often played at Old Trafford before games. The Stone Roses are one of the greatest bands to come out of Manchester. The lyric " The type of football, second to none, 'cos they're at the top of Division One!" dates it a little though. This one is another vintage from the Manchester United vault. Perhaps including it here is a bit arrogant, but hey, this is Manchester United. I can't remember this song ever being played at Old Trafford, but it certainly encapsulates the greatness of the club. OK, hands up, I bought this single when it was released in the wake of the 1999 side's Treble-winning season.īut for a track sung by professional footballers, it's not actually that bad. The Munich air disaster in 1958 ripped the core out of what could have been the greatest team ever assembled at that time. This one doubles as "We Got Our Trophy Back" when the side is successful.Ī more sombre song associated with the tragic fate of the Busby Babes. One has to laugh at Manchester United fans' sense of ownership of the Premier League title that it is "our trophy." One that gets the blood pumping and the juices flowing.
