Gerry And The Pacemakers – The Artist

Sir Elton Hercules John CBE (born Reginald Kenneth Dwight) is an English singer, pianist, and composer. He has worked with lyricist Bernie Taupin as his songwriting partner since 1967; they have collaborated on more than 30 albums to date. In his five-decade career Elton John has sold more than 300 million records, making him one of the best-selling music artists in the world. He has also composed music, produced records, and has occasionally acted in films.

You’ll Never Walk Alone – The Song

‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’ is a show tune from the 1945 Rodgers and Hammerstein musical Carousel. The song is also sung at association football clubs around the world, where it is performed by a massed chorus of supporters on match-day; this tradition began at Liverpool F.C. in the early 1960s.

The Football Boot – The Shape

This record is modelled into the silhouette of a vintage football boot complete with screw-in studs. Football boots are an item of footwear worn when playing association football. Those designed for grass pitches have studs on the outsole to aid grip. From simple and humble beginnings football boots have come a long way and today find themselves subject to much research, development, sponsorship and marketing at the heart of a multi-national global industry. Modern “boots” are no longer truly boots in that they do not cover the ankle – like most other types of specialist sports footwear, their basic design and appearance has converged with that of training shoes since the 1960s.
