This is really a Salford song, I was there. Dirty romantic.

Apparently this is occasionally played at Manchester United games (their Old Trafford ground is immediately adjacent to Salford - and their "Red Devils" moniker was stolen from Salford's Rugby League team). I also heard a brief snatch of this in either Episode 4 or 5 of The Wire's first season. A good song gets around.

The original version of this song. I spent seven years up in Salford during the 1960s, so have a particularly soft spot for this. Salford is still pretty grim these days, though the docks are now being developed as a Media City round the BBC.
