From Pierre-Michel
Doutreligne:
On
Saturday, I watched Grandstand (Saturday afternoon's sports
programme on BBC One), and in Football Focus, there was a
ten-minute report on Manchester City's push for promotion to
the First Division.
The music played in the background was: first 'How Soon Is
Now', then at the end, 'Please Please Let Me...'! Now, of
course Johnny Marr is a Manchester City supporter, but as
for Morrissey... well, not exactly!
From Paul Nightingale:
On
Football Focus (BBC 1) on Saturday 15th May, there was a
short profile on Manchester City who have reached the
playoffs after some bad seasons. They showed some footage of
the season over 'Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I
Want', probably just for the 'good times for a change'
lyric.
I thought he supported Manchester United.

I do not think that Moz is a big football fan. In early Smiths interviews he intimated that he was not particularly keen on any sport in particular. The Smiths appeared on an Italian TV show back in 1986. Part of the programme involved the interviewer asking Moz a few general questions. One of them was "what is your favourite sport" to which Moz replied "swimming." I think that Moz has, at best, a passing interest in football and nothing more.

First there is the pun song title "Roys keen" (the footballers name is Keane by the way) and he had the words "Eric" and "Cantona" on his tambourine on one of the tours.
And he said in an interview in a Swedish mag that he has become quite the football fan lately, the smell of grass etc.
