Irish band The Hitchers paid tribute to former Leeds and Manchester United midfielder Gordon Strachan with this ditty in 1997. Here's a sample of the lyrics:

She waited for the match to start
to start a fight up with me.
She said, "what's that you're watching?",
"It's a Programme about art".
She said, "A Programme about art?", I said
"A programme about art" and then the greatest
midfield artist of them all walked out onto the park.
The crowd were on their feet and they whistled and
they cheered for the tiny wee Scotsman
with the copper coloured hair.
