[656863 - E08P - FP] TRACKLISTING: The Goaldiggers was the first football charity set up in 1972 to help underprivileged children find somewhere to play the game. Money was raised through football matches and other chariety events to help create areas around the country. The original chairman was Brian Forbes until Jimmy Hill took over the role.
Elton recorded this single with them being sold at the charity ball in 1977 each copy was sold for just five british pounds with only 500 copies pressed. The A side features ‘The Goaldiggers Song’ which was written & performed by Elton and has never been released anywhere else.
The B side is twelve minute long playing at 33 1/3 RPM featuring the voices of Elton Brian Moore Jimmy Hill and Eric Morecambe. The four chat tell jokes and explain the Goaldiggers charity. Despite some websites claiming Eric does not appear on this track he pops up around eight minutes when he jokingly says Elton has just gone to make some tea then continues to joke around throughout the rest of the track.
The charity sadly closed its doors on 23rd March 2004.
The Tie were worn at the annual dinner at the Dorchester in London whilst the T shirts were used to promote the charity at different fundraising events.
