It was a midweek night game at NP from Feb - Mar 1970 and I can remember coming through the turnstiles at the Grange End with the floodlights on, misty playing surface looking across to the Bob Bank and this song being distorted through the PA system of Radio Ninian https://open.spotify.com/track/4o7pd...Qdek8cenU5JPlw
or another link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=daxiMb0rITA
Can't remember the match but the song always brings back memories of NP. over 50 years ago.

This one for me, early 60's
Would Jumbo have been the DJ or announcer in those days.
My dad started taking me down to Ninian Park after 1970 World Cup when I was 8 years old. I somehow remember Elvis Presley “Wonder of You” and Freda Payne “Band of Gold” playing and radio Ninian in the corner of grange and grandstand.I know we sat in Canton Stand near the Bob Bank on the benches
A couple of years later, I know we were in the Bob bank and being passed over head to sit on the wall at the front for Leeds in FACup.
Bit later this one, and possibly relative to our ages TBiB, but this one for me evokes memories of the Bob Bank.
A hit in '76 but It could well have been 1980 such was the money being spent on the fan experience back in those days...

By the way, what a wanker Button was!
A bit more up to date, but when I hear simply the best by Tina Turner it reminds me of the teams coming out of the tunnel during the Eddie May era
Joni Mitchell Big Yellow Taxi sticks in my mind
Love the song but my favourite version is by Southside Johnny. Fell in love with this when they performed at the Tramshed last year. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=saWaoGFfCAM
Just played them both. It’s the Four Tops version for me, absolute classic
Hey, ta for posting. I'd not heard it before. They do a really good take on it.
Here's a live version for you:
