I can't find the thread about songs naming teams, so feel free to merge this with it.

Chris Hawkins on 6 Music has been running a similar feature on his show. So far, he has covered the EPL and the Scottish Premiership. The only team he has failed on is St. Mirren.

The mixes are here:-

Tenuous link at best. The St Mirren Fanzine.
(http://www.wsc.co.uk/the-archive/100-Fan-culture/7142-music-to-your-ears)

Scores of football fanzines, When Saturday Comes included, have taken their names from songs or puns on song titles. Here are just a few (yes, loads have been left out).

There’s A Store Where the Creatures Meet (St Mirren)
The title is a line from a Doors song, Love Street, which is also the name of St Mirren’s ground. The Jim Morrison biography, No One Here Gets Out Alive, includes a reference to his playing soccer with a tin can after a gig. Sadly, latterday Jimbo resembled nothing so much as a beached whale and is unlikely to have been much use as a player – and equally unlikely to get through a pre-match drugs test unscathed, the boyo.
