'Ready now' by Frankie Valli & the 4 seasons, getting a pass out from the Bristol Rovers main stand at half time with my Dad and my Uncle Frank  to piss in a big pile of builders sand outside the ground. 1970 I reckon, won the game via a Lindsay Parsons headed own goal from about 20 yards out if my memory serves me well

The Return Of the Los Palmas 7 by Madness instantly takes me back to the early 80's as does a Mike Oldfield tune which I can't remember the name of, but always seem to hear around Christmas.

Respectable by Mel and Kim - I remember it because I was standing in a queue with a load of Everton fans outside the Witton in 1987 and they were all singing along to the song which was on the tannoy at the time all adorned in their stereotype tracksuits.

Mull of Kintyre  Derby away 1977 ,boxing day i think it was,always stays in my memory. Another song i always remember is We shall not be moved by the Seekers before most home games in the 60s.  I also can recall Rotherham fans singing You aint see nothing like the mighty quinn in a f a cup tie they beat us in at villa park.

Dexy's - Gino played over the tannoy at VP for much of the early 1980's

....and again through the mid 90's for Deano.

I vividly remember it being played after his home debut against Liverpool.

I remember Da Do Ron Ron being played over the tannoy for BFR's home debut against Man Ure which we lost 1-0 and you could have heard a pin drop

Theme from an unmade silent movie.
La Dolce Vita by Ryan Paris always makes me think of a cold, half empty Villa Park.It seemed to echo round the whole stadium.

Blimey.  I was at that game and can also remember The Mighty Quinn being sung.  Circa 1969.

Bab Come Back by Pato Banton always reminds me of being on the pitch after the shoot-out against Inter.
