about

In 1990, England were worthy World Cup semi-finalists and Gazza was Sports Personality of the Year. It was a fleeting, magical moment in time, set to the tune of New Order's 'World in Motion'.

Silly Feet 2 is an unashamedly nostalgic look back at the man who took on the Herculean challenge of making 'Fog On The Tyne' a passable song. Though he failed, who can forget the grainy VHS image of him playing air sax in a swamp green tracksuit, rapping about sickly sausage rolls?

lyrics

You were an original fat suit wearer
Pop star footballer
Mischievous jokester
Your heart was beautiful

Slightly overweight
And it made you loveable
You smoked cigarettes
But you could play so wonderful

Tears for England in those games
Like memories in the rain
Wash away

Silly feet, two of them
And the ball stuck like with glue to them
You were a buffoon but you were never a hooligan
A loony tune
Battling your demons in
A bottle, pull your socks up now for England and get those silly feet on again

You were an original Geordie boy king
In a lineage of them
You could rap it like waddle
And score goals like Keegan

You were never unsung
And you were always up for fun
But get too close to the sun
And you get burned like anyone
