Goal tune

We've noticed that when Werder score the tune played over the tannoy is 500 miles by The Proclaimers. How long has this happened for & why that song? Anyone?

 

How long? Since October 2010
Why? One of our stadium announcers heard it being played at Hampden and liked it

Proof? Here

 

Thanks for that

Not my favourite Proclaimers song but certainly a well known one. Charlie & Craig (The Proclaimers) are big Hibernian supporters & the Hibs fans have adopted 'Sunshine on Leith' as a fan song. Search Youtube for the Hibs fans singing it after their 2007 CIS Cup Final victory. I love the song but I left the stadium that day at full time as they had just beaten Killie 5-1!
Another corker of a tune is 'Cap in Hand', very rebelious

 

I guess they cannot really play Letter to America
