Football songs: The history of the beautiful game's relationship with music

Football Arsenal John Barnes David Dein FFT Jimmy Hill Peter Beardsley Liverpool World Cup Bobby Charlton
Steve McMahan, Chris Waddle, Peter Beardsley, John Barnes and Des Walker singing in a recording studio wearing headphones with New Order's bass player Peter Hook in 1990 for the recording of England's song 'World In Motion'.

Among the dozens of framed platinum and gold discs hanging proudly at the home of retired songwriter and producer Geoff Morrow, a surprise choice takes centre stage above his sofa.

"I've had hits with Elvis Presley, The Carpenters and Barry Manilow," the former impresario of record label Ammo tells FourFourTwo. "I like to show them off because it's the cheapest way of decorating.

Press play on FourFourTwo's specially curated playlist of the Greatest-Ever Football Songs below for the perfect soundtrack to this article
