Thread Name: Johnny Todd & football
Subject: Johnny Todd & football
A query after watching Saturday's BBC football round-up programme Match of the Day, during which "Johnny Todd" was to be heard twice —
— a classic Liverpool song, famously featuring in Fritz Spiegel's signature music for Z-Cars, a classic tv series set in a (fictionalised) Liverpool suburb; and, appropriately, customarily played at the home matches of Everton, a distinguished Liverpool-based football club.
Now, for some reason, a North London club, Watford FC, have also adopted the practice of playing it at their matches.
WHY? In what way whatever, please, is it a suitable match-anthem for Watford?
Much puzzled. Anyone any idea?
