Chas & Dave – The Artist/s

Chas & Dave (often billed as Chas ‘n’ Dave) were an English pop rock duo, formed in London by Chas Hodges and Dave Peacock. They were most notable as creators and performers of a musical style labelled rockney (a portmanteau of rock and cockney), which mixes “pub singalong, music-hall humour, boogie-woogie piano and pre-Beatles rock ‘n’ roll”. For a time, Rockney was also the name of their record label.

The Victory Song – The Song

“The Victory Song”  also known as ‘The Victor Song (We’re Off To Wembley ‘Cos We Beat The Arsenal)” was written by Hodges and Peacock to celebrate Tottenham Hotspur going to Wembley after beating Arsenal in the semi final.  Tottenham Hotspur went on to win the 1991 FA Cup for a then-record eighth time, by beating Nottingham Forest 2–1 at Wembley in the 110th FA Cup Final.
