SUTTON UNITED supporters have released a song to celebrate their FA Cup success so far ahead of their third round tie against AFC Wimbledon.
Roarie Deacon's late winner helped see off League Two side Cheltenham Town in round two and the U's will host Wimbledon, who just about got past Curzon Ashton, on January 7.
To mark the occasion, and their history in the FA Cup, fans of Coventry City's conquerors in 1989 have recorded and released a track called ‘Back on the Shoebox Terrace Again'.
The record has been written and recorded by West Sutton's own Comrade X and references their FA Cup exploits over the years.
Members of the U's fan group Gandermonium helped make the song a reality and a spokesperson said: “This record is a tribute to the extraordinary FA Cup history of Sutton United and brings us bang up to date with the current exploits under the leadership of our gaffer Paul Doswell.
“We are chuffed to be able to get it out in time for the Wimbledon game which is all set to be a belter in front of a full-house down the Lane.
“The Shoebox Terrace at Gander Green Lane is our ancestral home from home where we congregate to celebrate the three pillars of a civilised society – football, beer and rock and roll.
“A well-oiled conversation in the bar after our victory over Cheltenham in the second round has now turned into a bona fide record release. That's the magic of FA Cup football – anything can happen.”
