In the mid-nineties I think that the tannoy man at EP only ever played these two songs on a loop:

Going back a bit here, but these 3 songs always remind me of standing behind the goal at the Tilehurst end in 1974:-

Top Of The World - The Carpenters
Walk Right Back - Perry Como
When Will I See You Again - The Three Degrees

Mouldy Old Dough always reminds me of half-time, sitting in B Stand, with the over-30s stamping their feet in time to the music.

Good call on Mouldy Old Dough. It always seemed to be playing.

Can't look at the YouTube videos, so apologies if they've already been mentioned but:

Jon Secada - Just Another Day
Black Box - Right On Time

Those songs in particular bring back strong memories of Elm Park in the early nineties.

Yeah that made it onto my Royals CD.

Also randomly, Kosheen - Hungry. When we were away at Leicester, one of the first games at the Walkers Stadium, the kick off was delayed and we say there with this on repeat. Needless to say, I was indeed very hungry but short of cash!

Suzanne Vega - Tom's Diner.

Specifically makes me think of Keith McPherson but RFC often pops into my head shortly after by association.

Back in the seventies , a cup of bovril, the sound of rattlers and Cracklin' Rosie by Neil Diamond are what remind me of Elm Park.

I would say Tom Hark and the Royal's Anthem.

Apart from those, literally nothing.

The classic B-side to Sing with the Royals, People like you - Kevin Girlder

'people like you get so lonely, when they think that they're the one and only'

makes me want to cry.
