When I first started watching The City at Highfield Road in the early 90s I remember there was an electronica tune that was regularly played over the PA system after the match had ended as we all shuffled out in the cold and dark. I always wanted to find out what it was but never did (and Shazam didn’t exist yet), but nearly 30 years later I’ve just had this song come on randomly on Apple Music, and I’m about 95% certain this was the tune in question. It was apparently released in 1993 which is just about the right timing.


I always meant to ask Jim Twyneham (I went to school with his son Ben) but never got around to it, and he’s no longer with us so I assumed I’d never find out. Does it sound familiar to anyone else?

Ha. When they showed the classic games during lockdown, I heard this after the Arsenal ‘99 game, the memories came flooding back. It’s now on my most played list.

Sandstorm by Darude is my HR tune.

Nice to see Jim still gets a mention on here. I miss having a pint with him in the Chestnut talking Cov and other bollocks

Yeah that song just reminds me of the mid/late noughties, our decline from former-Premier League to battling administration and relegation in the Championship. Dowie, Coleman and terrible Puma kits.

Whenever I hear this song all I can think about is that Ricoh relegation season from the Championship

I’ll have to dig it out of my CD collection. I seem to remember there was some version of ‘skyblue army’ on there.

Was that played before games at some stage?
For some reason it now reminds me of this…

Please don't anyone put a link up for that bloody awful "Go For It, City"! So cringeworthy!

I would've thought the Eton BOATENG song would have gone down better in the late 90's?
