As the business end of the season hits its stride, we asked the CJ team to share their favourite tracks on the theme of knockouts

Issue 18

1. Mama said knock you out by LL Cool J

“Don’t call it a comeback,” implores the very first line of this 1991 anthem. It resurrected LL Cool J’s career – could your team turn things around as well?

2. Time to go by Dropkick Murphys

From hip-hop to Celtic punk – this list is nothing if not diverse! This fist-clenching fight song was originally written for the band’s local ice-hockey team, the Boston Bruins.

3. Sudden Death by Megadeth

You’ll be ready to run through a brick wall after the absurd number of thrashing guitar solos on this track, chosen by our resident heavy metal fan Patrick. 

4. Nowhere to run by Martha Reeves and the Vandellas

Strike fear into the heart of any opponent with this Motown classic, in which the smile of the melody doesn’t quite reach the eyes of the terrifying lyrics…

5. This feels like the end by Nothing but Thieves

Alongside the sing-a-long stadium energy of the chorus, “We’re addicted to the pain, we can’t look away” is a sentiment any long-suffering football fan will recognise.
