Oh amazing. I've listened to a few of these episodes in his series. Diving deep into club anthems.

Have t heard this yet but will try to get it on catch up. Jimmy Hill told I think John Camkin that we needed a club song and they wrote it together ? Proud posh and cobblers etc

Same. This is a must listen for every Coventry fan.

I cannot believe there's a few on here moaning at 'PUSB' last week.

I’m in bed with flu and this has made me the happiest I’ve been all week.
Just played “live & die in these towns” from the Wembley semi final - Colin Murray says it’s the best football song he has ever heard!

The whole programme was a great listen and Jim Brown was Mr History regarding it all. As above Colin Murray was pretty blown away by WLADITT

I don’t like it when people have a pop at the Sky Blue Song, maybe it’s just my age bracket but to me that’s always going to be ‘our song’.

Usually with these they put these things in a podcast . Might be worth looking in the BBC media player . I would be surprised if you couldn't get it in some format. Fabulous 30 minutes

Yeah, it's so unique. It's different. It's a song created by our greatest man about our football club, for our football club.

Compared to the generic stuff of modern football, it's wonderful.

I agree. This is going to sound weird, but whenever I have a game, there's always about 10-30 seconds of silence before kick off.

The adrenaline is pumping and that silence is just filled with that Jimmy Hill rendition in my head. Gets me fired up for the moment that whistle is blown.

I guess my brain just associates that moment from being up the city, where it used to get played on the screen before WLADITT took over.
