The Mighty Chaffinch Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Getting a bit bored of transfer non-entities so I thought, having just discovered that Bobby Svarc’s move from Colchester to Rovers is referenced in the Half Man Half Biscuit song, ‘Feel my Wraith (I read the news today, oh boy Svarc rejects new Layer terms)… Have any other Rovers players ever featured in song lyrics???

perthblue02 Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 (edited) Colin Hendry gets a mention as well as the club in the song by Norweigen band Seven, called Blackburn (Rovers in his heart) , ten or so years ago. https://www.sonicbids.com/band/seven6/ Edit it was 2009 https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/4654698.audio-norwegian-punk-rockers-record-tribute-blackburn-rovers/ Edited August 23, 2021 by perthblue02 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucimo Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Matt Jansen hasn't as far as I'm aware appeared in any song lyrics but did sing some cover versions on what I assume was a charity album. Was called in a league of their own. I did have it but not seen it for years. Probably in the loft I imagine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Beatles track 'A day in the life' from their 1967 Sgt Pepper album was inspired by this Daily Mail article. Not a Rovers reference but a Blackburn one 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Backroom Madon Posted August 24, 2021 Backroom Share Posted August 24, 2021 Morten Gamst Pederden headlined a band called ' The Players' when he was playing for us. There was a proper music video but it looks like it's been taken down now but the song is below! https://youtu.be/EpoaVD6KOvI 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
