The Pride of Merseyside - Joe Fagin


April 1987 saw the release of Joe Fagin's "The Pride of Merseyside" on 7 Inch Picture Disc, the B side featured the track "Don't Care Much Anymore".


The song was a reworked version of a "Liverbird Upon My Chest" the popular KOP song written by Phil Aspinall in the mid-80's to the tune of "The Ballad Of The Green Berets" which has grown a new verse with ever momentous occasion since.

In 1984 Jeremy Beadle lookalike Joe Fagin was also the voice behind "That's Living Alright" the theme tune to ITV's comedy-drama Auf Wiedersehen Pet.


As football songs go The Pride of Merseyside was not a bad effort...
