Radford Joined By Shearer In Harris Songbook

 

Hereford FC supporter Harry Harris, perhaps best known for his song about Ronnie Radford, has recently written 'The Ballad of Alan Shearer' which fronts a podcast about the Newcastle United legend.

Despite coming from Builth Wells, Harris has followed Shearer's career.

"I'm a big football fan who is in his his 30s, so I grew up with the Keegan era of Newcastle United," said Harry, who now lives in Edinburgh, told the Chronicle.

"They were always one of the big teams that I remember watching, so I already knew about the Everton goal and the story about how he turned down (Manchester) United, so it was a quick one to write.

"I just remember how good a player he was, and what a great era it was for English strikers. I remember Ian Wright couldn't get a game for England because of Shearer and (Teddy) Sheringham."
