Neither of those Johnnie-come-latelies: St Alban. Native (well, "English" at any rate) and a proper saint, too - martyr, miracles: the full works. Far more appropriate than that Greco-Syrian myth foisted on us by the Franco-Vikings! (Your ancestors have a LOT to answer for, Bbm! <sternlookalapaddingtonemoticon>)

Football an inspiration for composers?
Well, it must be true as the topic has been featured in the Guardian!
At least the flag in the picture keeps this thread remotely on topic ...
James MacMillan, sporting a Celtic scarf, once had a photo in a Proms Guide, I remember well.
And, of course, one of the most popular current football chants sung by fans throughout the globe is a direct quote from Bruckner's Fifth Symphony, though some wretched American pop group which admitted to shamelessly plagiarising the catchy theme gets the official credit.
Finally, what the thuggish, moronic American Football has to do with the 'beautiful game' I haven't the foggiest.
