ESPN UK – Barclays Premier League advert – “It’s Great To Be Here”

TV advert for ESPN’s coverage of the English Barclays Premier League, 2009/10 season.
A great advert for football fans, with some really good backing music.

The advert, which is voiced by Boys from the Blackstuff actor Bernard Hill, was created by Wieden & Kennedy Amsterdam.

Song title: Fluorescent Lights
Artist: Windmill
(Credit to euanhamilton27 for informing me on that one).

    With hand on heart, I pledge myself to the Barclays Premier League.
    I live, breath and sweat football.
    Inforcing my views on my kin like my father before me.
    Marching onward filled with pride, courage and glory.
    Whether in my castle or the sacred grounds, my cries will be heard from stand to shining stand.The better half may complain, the sofa will groan, my team may be defeated, BUT I shall stand tall like a polyester beacon of hope.
