During the recording of “London Calling”, The Clash played football every day.

“We’re not afraid to play around. What we’re doing now is experimenting. But I’ll only put on a record if it’s worth listening to. I hate music that’s so concerned with being ‘new’ that it forgets to have any soul, y’know?” - Joe Strummer, NME, 1981
