New sound for Z-Cars, but tradition still rules - Everton FC latest

26 December 2009 00:00
CERTAIN parts of the match-day experience at Goodison Park are rightly considered sacrosanct.[LNB]From the Toffee Lady scattering her famous wares around the ground to the playing of Z-Cars as the players run out of the tunnel.[LNB]It was a point emphasised in the 1994/95 season when Z-Cars was bizarrely replaced with the theme for 2001: A Space Odyssey and Bad Moon Rising in a badly-misjudged experiment.[LNB]The change lasted for two games before disgruntled fan power won out, and the roar of the crowd when Z-Cars returned meant it has never been meddled with since.[LNB]So, it took a brave bunch of musicians to re-record Z-Cars and The Goodisons are the men who have done it.[LNB]Fear not though, the club insists that their new version is in no way a replacement for the original track by Johnny Keating.
