footballers musical tastes. (1 Viewer)

[rampz]

ok so we all know that the majority of footballers like luther vandross and thats pretty much where it ends but does anyone know definitively if theres any punk or indie or whatever loving footballers?

Stuart Pearce is a bit of a punk; loves the Stranglers and the Damned apparently.

All the rest like r'n'b.

Your man Graeme Le Saux is big into Radiohead, apparently.

I saw something about the England Team recording that World Cup song with New Order, and they were saying that all of them bar John Barnes had absolutely no musical ability or leanings, and even John Barnes didn't have much, and also that they were a bunch of gurning oversexed dorks (I'm paraphrasing).

John Giles likes Nat King Cole, and Eamonn Dunphy likes Luke Kelly. I know this from reading the Guardian football thingy.

 

[St. Fechin]

Pat Nevin is the only one I can think of (The Fall, Joy Division etc).

Oh, and Djalminha - a big Morrissey fan apparently.

packie bonner loves gypo music

 

[Lefty Frizzell]

I remember reading a Q&A with Damien Duff in the rte guide a few years back where he said that his favourite album of all time was All that you can't leave behind by U2.

Gilesy once sang an old standard with Dickie Rock on a show dedicated to him.

He showed great moral courage to get on the mic and sing.

Dennis Hickey is into a bit of Indie, was spotted at a few gigs in Dublin. I know he plays rugby and does Wavin ads, but still.

 

[Lefty Frizzell]

I think i have an unplugged version of gazza singing fog on the tyne knockin around somewhere.

Mendieta was a big Velvets fan.

Marcus Hahnemann is mad about metal (and there may be a few other Americans into metal and punk).

And Christian Dailly is or was in a 'punky' band. And does not have an agent, which is pretty punk.

Loads of others, I think...

 

[maims bond]

Ronaldo is into doom-drone.

Dirk Kuyt is into The Smiths.

There's some stuff about Kevin Gallen in the comments below that picture..

Also, Mehmet Scholl's favourite band is Teenage Fanclub and he got Hidden Cameras to play at Bayern and was also responsible for this:

stuart Pierce posts on eirecore under the name Janer.
In tony cascarinos biography he mentions goin to see the sex pistols, and also that andy townesend was a Rocker/teddy with a quiff and leather jacket.

Peter schmiehael plays the drums and is from denmark so I presume he likes crust.

Dion Dublin broke his leg when he was with united and was out for over a year, he learned to play the sax, possible to the sounds of ska

But the drummer from Showaddywaddy's son was a high jumper who won bronze in the 2002 Commonwealth Games.

On an unrelated topic according to Alex Ferguson, Dion Dublin's cock isn't just big, it's magnificent.
