Geoff Morrow, a retired songwriter, proudly displays various platinum and gold discs, but the song he cherishes most is 'Hot Stuff,' by Arsenal Football Club. Written for the 1998 FA Cup Final and featuring Arsenal stars, the song achieved significant success, reaching No.9 in the UK charts with sales of 100,000. Morrow reflects on the songâs merit, emphasizing its artistic success despite being a football anthem. The duo later enjoyed another chart entry with 'Arsenal Number One,' co-written with club vice-chairman David Dein, further highlighting the intersection of music and football passion in their collaborations.
"It was a great record and it succeeded on its own merits, despite the fact it was a football song," says Morrow proudly.
"After my family and football, theatre had always been my great passion, and I relished the opportunity to be involved in a football song about Arsenal," Dein tells FFT.
"A little bit of Keown in defence, a little bit of Vivas makes good sense" is a line from Arsenal Number One co-written by David Dein.
"Youâre telling us weâre boring, weâll just keep on scoring" encapsulates the spirit of Arsenal's 1998 FA Cup Final song, Hot Stuff.
