Songs that name drop football teams in their lyrics

[RiversideBlue]

Daughter was playing Taylor Swift's new album in the car yesterday and in one song, Wish List, she name drops Real Madrid. It got me thinking as to what other songs (not including club songs like Boys in Blue,etc) name drop teams.

I can think of:-
Billy Brag - Sexuality (Red Star Belgrade)
Half Man Half Biscuit - Bastard son of Dean Friedmann (Borrisia Munchengladbach)

Any others?

Please pardon the grammar
But you're every schoolboy's dream

You're the best team I've ever seen
