I’m part of a team at the University of Sheffield, led by Dr Chris Stride. We've published a number of academic papers and magazine articles relating to football history, on subjects such as statues and replica shirts (see, for example sportingstatues.com, and https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/17460263.2019.1578255).
Our current project is investigating the music that football teams have run or walked out of the tunnel to over the years.
We are looking for the music that QPR have run out to, for as many seasons in the past as you can recall. We are simply interested in the title of the song, the artist who recorded it, and for which seasons QPR ran out to this. Any help you can give us to piece together the different songs that your club has run out to would be hugely appreciated.
If you have any personal anecdotes around the reasons for the songs being used, or the changes between them, that would also be fantastic.
I should also add that we are not interested in goal music, or a song that is played at the final whistle, but just the song that is on the tannoy system as the players enter the field.
If you think someone else may be able to help, or you have any questions, please let us know! We would be very happy to discuss the project.
Cheers
Joe Headland

We definitely had "Hi Ho Silver Lining" for awhile. Was it just a myth that we had the theme from "Steptoe and Son?" I should be able to remember but really can't.

When we got beaten 5-0 at Wimbledon 00/01 they played the Steptoe theme as we traipsed out for the second half.

I was off my fu cking skate for most of '91/'92 but i seem to recall 'Fanfare for the common man'b y Prog rock collective Emerson Lake and Palmer, as our run out tune under Chairman Richard Thompson.
Interesting, thanks for posting. If I had been following Rangers back then - I didn't support a team until about 2000 - I would probably have cried like a total wus because that is one of my all time favourite tunes. Like you and most people, it's the ELP version I am familiar with but it was actually by Aaron Copland.
There's no way Copland could have carried off wearing a sheepskin lined bomber jacket in a freezing cold, empty enormodome, though. Keith Emerson was briefly the coolest man on the planet when that video was released

"Things had started becoming increasingly desperate at Loftus Road but QPR have been handed a massive lifeline and the place has absolutely erupted. it's carnage. It's bedlam. It's 1-1."

Thank you for commenting and sharing your memories. It's much appreciated and is invaluable to the project.
I am of a generation which sadly never got to hear the Manchester Police Choir singing football songs. Is anyone able to find a link/title for the anti-hooligan track?
We're still on the lookout for songs, so if anyone remembers anymore, or can confirm other suggestions, drop us a line.
If you remember roughly what season even better! Cheers,

No steptoe and son was played at half time during the mid nineties
And Bowles is onside, Swinburne has come rushing out of his goal , what can Bowles do here , onto the left foot no, on to the right foot
That’s there that’s two, and that’s Bowles
