Music Aston Villa have run out to

Hi everyone, 

I hope this okay to post here, moderators please move or delete if you need to. 

I’m part of a team at the University of Sheffield, led by Dr Chris 
Stride. We've published a number of academic papers and magazine 
articles relating to football history, on subjects such as statues and 
replica shirts (see, for example sportingstatues.com, and 
https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/17460263.2019.1578255).

Our current project is investigating the music that football teams have 
run or walked out of the tunnel to over the years.

We are looking for the music that Aston Villa have run out to, for as 
many seasons in the past as you can recall. We are simply interested in 
the title of the song, the artist who recorded it, and for which seasons 
Aston Villa ran out to this. Any help you can give us to 
piece together the different songs that your club has run out to would 
be hugely appreciated.

If you have any personal anecdotes around the reasons for the songs 
being used, or the changes between them, that would also be fantastic.

I should also add that we are not interested in goal music, or a song 
that is played at the final whistle, but just the song that is on the 
tannoy system as the players enter the field.

If you think someone else may be able to help, or you have any 
questions, please let us know!  We would be very happy to discuss the 
project.

Regards

Joe Headland

This tune was used for some time...and used on the Tony Butler radio show

Cheers for these!

We're still on the look out for any more tunes - drop us a line if you can remember any.

And if you can remember roughly what season, even better!
