Everton still coming out to Z Cars?
Maybe there’s a theme tune we can use… MASH, suicide is painless?

Gary Neville got it banned because Balboa wasn't from Manchester. No one had the heart to tell Gary, Rocky was a fictional character.
They had certain distribution rights with MGM.But as far as I know Fox had nothing to do with the Rocky movies.

I'm sure Gary Nev said he felt it wasn't particularly relevant to Manchester. I like This is the One...it's Manchester United. Fanfare is great and all.
“When I changed it all those years ago, we were listening to [the theme from the film] Rocky. I mean, I love Rocky, don't get me wrong, what a hero Rocky is, but he's from Philadelphia. He isn't from Manchester. We have to have something here that's authentic.
It’s now getting on for two decades that United have been walking out to This is the One and naturally Neville wants the connection to remain for years and years to come.
“That song should never, ever be moved from that position of being the song that Manchester United walk out to, you know?” he added.
“For me, Manchester United is the one. That's it. Simple as that.
“The bond between the song This Is the One and Manchester United cannot be broken. You cannot change that anymore.
“It's part of what Manchester United is and I'm all for thinking forward, being modern. But there are some things that you have to respect. This is the One is one of those things.”
What a turd! Was a great song.No doubt but he actually said Rocky was from Philadelphia not Manchester.
I don’t think he believes Rocky is a real person…No doubt but he actually said Rocky was from Philadelphia not Manchester.
Like I said think they allowed the deal to lapse, I used to enjoy it especially in the big games.Can't find anything on it but you could be right. But I don't think that would stop United using it as an entrance song. The club I imagine wold just have to pay a fee or something.

Well he's right - I'm don't get the joke?!No doubt but he actually said Rocky was from Philadelphia not Manchester.
Is this true ?From the same interview. Gary Neville ok with knocking Old Trafford down after more than 100 years of being the clubs home but you can't change the entrance song he picked while captain 18 years ago. Because ''there are some things that you have to respect.''
Well he's right - I'm don't get the joke?!

I found it funny that he was talking about Rocky like he was a real person.
Yes, he doesn't think the entrance song should ever be changed.

Real or fictional makes no difference to the point he was making which I completely agree with.
