Others?

Right. Gimmick records by football stars/teams don't count. Ditto for records that are targeted towards a particular world cup/fa cup sorta thing.

Along with the previous Half Man Half Biscuit songs, I'd go also with 'I Was A Teenage Armchair Honved Fan', in truth you could have an entire section of Half Man Half Biscuit football songs and a good few classics in there. Two good ones with football related titles, but very little to do with football are Joe Strummer & The Mescaleros' - 'Tony Adams' & 'Shaktar Donetsk'.
They say what about the meek?
I say they’ve got a bloody cheek
Another HMHB one: Friday night and the gates are low.
I'm a little confused by the criteria. Do songs in homage to a player count?
If so:
Give him a ball and a yard of grass - Sultans of Ping
Strachen - Hitchers
Morrissey's We'll let you know doesn't actually mention football, but is about football hooligans.
And anything by Dario G, I guess.

The World Cup '98 song. Can't think of it's name but it's seems like every team's fans sing it.

Yo te quiero, mi querida. Sin tus besos, yo soy nada.
Abri o portão de ouro, da maquina do tempo.
Mi mamá me hizo guapo, listo y antimadridista.

You're in My Heart - Rod Stewart!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"You're celtic, united
but baby, I've decided
You're the best team I've ever seen..............."
How sad was that?
almost as sad as his appearance in Wembley on Sunday evening?

Dublin band A Lazarus Soul have a song about former Pats player (and high level gangster) Derek Dunne; 'Me and Maradona Dunne'

One I forgot earlier.
Ballboy - The Sash My Father Wore
Page three girls get you excited,
You support rangers and man united,
All you do is take up space,
With a stupid look, on your stupid face.
You had a girlfriend you really loved,
But you were a **** and she got fed up of it,
I don't know what you do,
But i know we'd be better off without you,
'cause you're a big, fat, bigoted arsehole,
You're a big, fat, bigoted arsehole,
You're a big, fat, bigoted arsehole,
You're a big, fat, bigoted arsehole,
You've got billy tattooed on your neck,
And a union jack above your bed,
You've got nothing intelligent to say,
And no-one's listening, to you anyway,
Cos you're a big, fat, bigoted arsehole,
You're a big, fat, bigoted arsehole,
You're a big, fat, bigoted arsehole,
You're a big, fat, bigoted arsehole,

Coup de Boule - the French smash hit from last July.

That question was less stupid, though you asked it in a profoundly stupid way.
Help me, Arthur Murphy, you're my only hope!

Yeah that Sultans of Ping FC song is ace, and i love the way they have the football clap in it, def worth checking out in Cork this summer
Two brilliant tunes:
Collapsed Lung - 'Eat My Goal'
Kenickie - 'Millionaire Sweeper'
And a there's a couple of great lines in 'Ha Ha' by UK rapper Ty:
'Feeling that my left toe's equal to Pelé' and the immortal 'You stay rushing with Ian, I'm Ronnie Whelan'.
That's me fave hiphop tune ever anyway so that gets my vote.
more bass
I'm Immortal - Trash Can Sinatras. Cracking song.
out for a spell, i was slated. i'd lost a yard, i was hated
i dug a rug out in the dugout, lazing, I joined in the turnout
that's no life at all
out for a spell, got neglected, lay on the bench unselected
laughing, i joined in the squabbles, over the hill. I'm immortal
immortal, immortal, immortal, no life at all
i'm immortal and that's no life, no life at all
i took a kick in the confidence, down in the tackle i hurt
i took a shine to your big size tens
now all around the subject i skirt. gingerly, gingerly
and that's no life, no life at all
i just went out for a spell
i just went out for a smoke
i took a dive i was a sub
i thought my number was up
but i'm immortal, and that's no life, no life at all
speaking of tongues, baby (repeat)
i'm immortal, i'm immortal
Out for a spell, got neglected, lay on the bench unselected.
He always beat me at Subbuteo
Cos he flicked to kick, and I didn't know.
Does that count?
Has to be Bob Dylan's Positivelty4th Street, which was written on behalf of Roy Keane and perfectly described Keane's and most fans views on McCarthy and Alf Halland
" You've got a lot of nerve to say you are my friend,
when I was down you just stood there grinning
you got a lotta nerve to say you got a helping hand to lend
you just want to be on the side that's winning.
You say i let you down , you know it's not like that
if you're so hurt , why then don' t you show it
I know the reason why you talk behind my back
I used to be among the crowd you're in with.
Do you take me for such a fool to think i'd make contact
with the one who tries to hide
what he don't know to begin with
You see me on the street and you always act surprised
you say hello, 'how are you' 'good luck'
but you don't mean it
when you know as well as me you'd rather see me paralysed
why don't you just once come out and scream it !
No I do not feel that good when i see the heartbreaks you embrace
if i was a masterthief perhaps I'd rob them
And now I know you're dissatisfied with your position and you place
Don't you understand it's not my problem
I wish that for just one time you could stand inside my shoes
and just for that one moment that I could be you
Yes I wish that for just one time you could stand inside my shoes
You'd know what a drag it is to be you "
then you'd realise what a drag it is to see you "
