Sunshine on Leith

With all due respect to Liverpool and Celtic, there's only one winner when it comes to football anthems and that is Hibs' rendition of "Sunshine on Leith" by the Proclaimers.

This is them at their CIS Cup victory in 2007 against Kilmarnock. I'm not a Hibs fan but it makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand up.




I remember that the BBC coverage of the event stopped the player interviews to listen to the crowd singing. The sound is better but you don't get the feeling of being in the crowd that the video clip has.

The Proclaimers' version is here.

It's a beautiful song and I want it sung at my funeral.
