YouTube Pick Of The Week: ‘You’re Not Alone’- Olive
This is ridiculous, but in 1996/7 I was completely enthralled by Sky Sports. I was younger – obviously – and absolutely captivated by the way in which Sky presented its football coverage. Slick, stylish and supported by an absolute bagful of funky club hits, a year later I bought the Sky Sports ‘Club Hits 97/98 album, featuring all of the songs Sky used in that season for its montages, highlights reels and live coverage.
Ever since then, for me, the album has been intrinsically linked with the passion and very real support that goes into football. I suppose Sky got me hook line and sinker, but I was young and still day-dreamy enough not to be overly-cynical about the presentation. That changed at University (when one game was billed as ‘Judgement Day’ and Arsene Wenger was given a Terminator eye) …but anyway the album is still in my possession and still means ‘football’ to me.
With all of this in mind, I present to you ‘You’re Not Alone’ by Olive. As tonight is Arsenal vs Barcelona, I’m getting all Fever Pitch and wildly excited by a tantalising European match . So, without referring to the title of this week’s track selection in a sickly way, frankly, Come on You Gunners! And Come on You Gooners! Let’s have a good one!
