The song lyrics seem to be written from the perspective of a Greek football fan, with references to rivalries with Galatasaray and Chelsea F.C.

I do know quite a few Greek football fans, and their attitude to soccer is completely different to Britain.

Produced by Grant "Showbiz" Cunliffe and Mark E. Smith, it was first released on the band's 2003 UK album The Real New Fall LP (Formerly Country on the Click).
