Umbro’s World Beating Musical Football Team
We’ll often talk about silly football-related things to pass the time here at Umbro House, but usual they don’t go as far as this. Today’s chat about Dion Dublin launching a musical instrument morphed into a challenge to find the best puns involving footballers and music, which expanded even further thanks to the joys of Twitter. So much so, that we felt the need to compile a team out of the best ideas, a squad that we think would be a match for anyone. So what do you think? Which are your favourites? We still want to hear any more musical footballers if you come up with them – we’re certainly going to be racking our brains for suggestions. Thanks in particular to Michael Ward, N Oram and the always excellent Kai Wayne for their contributions!
