Kick It! by Paul Brand
'Everyone seems to know the score,' at least according to Baddiel and Skinner. Most can hum the tune, some can sing the correct lyrics, but few know the stories behind football's greatest hits, such as how 'You'll Never Walk Alone' nearly became an Old Trafford favourite. Press play to discover more ...
"A brilliant ride through the idiosyncratically British sub-culture that is the football pop song"
David Baddiel
"This is a brilliantly researched book and if you are into football and music this is a must read. From club anthems to terrace chants, it's all in here looking at the history and culture of the terraces!"

Football and writing have long gone hand-in-hand for Paul, who first developed a passion for prose in a player-reporter role for his free-scoring primary school team. For more than three decades it looked as if he'd peaked early, the standard publishing rejections punctuating careers in music administration and teaching, while his Sunday League endeavours were best described as ordinary.
He now pays the bills by creating learning resources to help overworked teachers educate the next generation, but he'd rather be writing about important stuff like football, music and film, and was therefore celebrating like Roger Milla when his first book was published in 2023. This is his hat-trick effort.
