According to Rod Stewart this song is about three women, two football teams and a country (Scotland). 😆

I like both Celtic and United. Growing up and being born in the States this song was my 1st knowledge of football. Born in 72 it makes sense saying that, and I support both teams since. See more United here though

The song's not about sports, but he uses his love for soccer teams as a metaphor for his love for her: "You're Celtic, United, but, baby, I've decided you're the best team I've ever seen."

One of my favorite days started out with me arriving at a customer's house before they were awake. Part of my task that day was to destroy a bunch of weeds along the east side of her house. I got down on my knees and picked those weeds like I was a teenager, singing this song the whole time.. I thought I was being kinda quiet, but when I was done with the weeds, the lady and her tenants started clapping at me.

Not sure why, but this song reminds me of an old adage... 'Learn to love your spouse's little faults and ignore their big ones.' 😁

"Maggie May" from 1971 by Rod was the start of me becoming a big life long fan of his. It's about his time with an older woman. I was twelve years old when that song came out! But "Forever Young" is the song I have always dedicated to my nieces and nephews of every age. Wonderful positive lyrics. That song came out in 1988.❤ All my other favorite Rod Stewart songs are from the 70's era. 😊

He wrote this song about a slightly older model Brit Ekland whom he was dating at the time, he makes the soccer reference because he’s a fan of that too, (he also played soccer, not sure professional but enjoyed playing) comparing her to his favorite teams😅Rod’s romantic life is like a soap opera, he’s had quite a few famous romances since this song, I think his kids ages may span quite a few decades by his various exwives & current wife too!

Probably the bext he's ever done

Rod the Mod! This is a late 70's tune. 70's Rod happens to be my favorite, but it's all magnificent. Rod wanted to be a professional soccer player as a teenager. He is still a huge soccer fan. He supports the Celtic (a Scottish team) and Manchester United (an English team). Both are mentioned in the song. I saw him in 1996, and all during his concert he kicked soccer balls out into the crowd. I've seen recent interviews where he's wearing a gold necklace with "Celtic." Did you guys know he just a released an album of swing tunes? I've listened a couple of times, and, yes, he's darn good at it. It's called "Swing Fever." It's like 1940's big band swing. "Tonight's the Night" was released on the album after this one (Foot Loose and Fancy Free). It is also one great tune. Gotta get Amber to like that one a little bit more.

I love this song so much. "You'll be my breathe should I grow old..." When Rod started recording the American Songbook series, he reached Crooner Status for me.

The legendary Rod Stewart! Please try "Gasoline Alley" and "Every Picture Tells a Story".

It was supposed to have been written for former girlfriend Brit Ekland.

Great Rod Stewart song!!

We played this at my mums funeral. She loved Rod Stewart. We all had a giggle at the Big Bosom Lady bit

I once saw Rod Stewart at traffic lights in Stockport in an antique car. I was excited to see him he just smiled to himself.

P.S. I think the song you were referencing was "Tonight's The Night". Two more of his slower songs you two would k=love are "Handbags And Gladrags" and "Little Miss Understood".

"Rhythm of My Heart" is my favorite Rod Stewart.

"Downtown Train", which was a song written by Tom Waits and one of Rod's biggest '80s hits. You should give Tom another chance, his music is pretty great. "Hold On" and "Take it With Me" would be my first suggestions.

Rod Stewart, David Bowie ,Sting.....fantastic

My aunt passed away in September. She loved this song and all of Rod’s music. This song is elegantly beautiful and will always bring a tear to my eyes.

Love, love, love, some Rod Stewart. Some suggestions. EVERY PICTURE TELLS A STORY, INFATUATION, BORN LOOSE, CRAZY ABOUT HER, & STAY WITH ME. You're gonna love these songs. I promise. Keep going and enjoy

And there have been, many affairs Many times I've, thought to leave But I bite my lip and turn around Cause you're the warmest thing, I've ever found... Ugh... Wonderful!

I remember Rod was wearing a purple outfit, top and bottom, kind of a silky outfit. Very cool..I have loved all his music from the beginning. You must listen to Every Picture Tells A Story. What a Rockin song

This has been mentioned before but as parents I think you'll love "Forever Young" Rod was my first concert at about age 14? 15?.....his "Do you think I'm sexy" years. Sometime in the 70's.

Rod is always outstanding...I've been rocking to Rod since the late 60's from Faces to his solo career.

Beautiful song from 1977. I've always loved this song.

I love Rod Stewart. He can sing just about anything. His voice is suited for so many genres. A few favorites for me are, I Was Only Joking, I Don’t Wanna Talk About It, Someone To Watch Over Me, The Killing of Georgie and Broken Arrow.

OMG! I had forgot about this song. It brings back so many memories of high school. Thank you!

thats a good song..well written from the1st time I heard it in the 70s....another great song from this albim is " I WAS ONLY JOKING"

Have I Told You Lately that I Love You is one of my favorite of his. There's also a song, I think the title is Sailing by Rod. That's a good one too.

I've seen Rod Stewart live several times. During a concert he would take a soccer ball and bounce it off his knee, chest etc and then kick it out into the audience, He would do about a half dozen at each concert. Judging by his ball handling skills, he was a good soccer player.

This man does such fantastic stuff! If I had to pick my favorites, I'd say they would be "I Was Only Joking," "Some Guys Have All The Luck," "Passion," and "Stay With Me," when he was with The Faces.

I love his diction, you can hear every word. Amazing lyrics too.

Stay away from Rod Stewart, Amber! That's my man! ❤ 😂

Ah. One of my favourites by him. It makes my heart smile.

I didn't know what day it was When you walked into the room I said hello unnoticed You said goodbye too soon Breezing through the clientele Spinning yarns that were so lyrical I really must confess right here The attraction was purely physical I took all those habits of yours That in the beginning were hard to accept Your fashion sense, Beardsley prints I put down to experience The big bosom lady with the Dutch accent Who tried to change my point of view Her ad lib lines were well rehearsed But my heart cried out for you You're in my heart, you're in my soul You'll be my breath should I grow old You are my lover, you're my best friend You're in my soul My love for you is immeasurable My respect for you immense You're ageless, timeless, lace and fineness You're beauty and elegance You're a rhapsody, a comedy You're a symphony and a play You're every love song ever written But honey what do you see in me You're in my heart, you're in my soul You'll be my breath should I grow old You are my lover, you're my best friend You're in my soul You're an essay in glamor Please pardon the grammar But you're every schoolboy's dream You're Celtic, United, but baby I've decided You're the best team I've ever seen And there have been many affairs Many times I've thought to leave But I bite my lip and turn around 'Cause you're the warmest thing I've ever found You're in my heart, you're in my soul You'll be my breath should I grow old You are my lover, you're my best friend You're in my soul

I remember reading an interview with Rod where he said in their very first gig live, he was so scared that he hid behind the speakers for the first 2 songs before he had the nerve to actually face the audience. LOL. Same with Ozzy. He said his first gig he was so scared to be out there that he pissed himself onstage!!!! Now look what confident legends they turned out to be!!

This song takes me back to good times in the 70’s. Rod Stewart had his hay day, we all liked him…Maggie was a hit first.👍💙💖🌸🌸

Although born in London,England,Rods father was Scottish & Rod considers himself Scottish too,he loves football (soccer) & has a full size soccer pitch at his home,he loves the Scottish National Football team and also loves Glasgow Celtic & can often be seen at Celtic games cheering them on.🍀

The song's full title is You're in My Heart (The Final Acclaim).

❤Classic Rod. One of his best. 😂😂😂😂It is a love song. 🚫⚽️

I saw Rod in concert in the eighties across the river in Detroit. When this song came up in his slower set every could was embracing, singing and swaying. I have been to so many concerts and his was without a doubt one of the most entertaining of all time. I is a great entertainer. "In Rod I Trust" . Canadian Grandma Lori. C.

Rod Stewart..such a wonderful heart. "You're Celtic, United, but baby I've decided, you're the best team I've ever seen" are a reference to two Scottish soccer teams, Dundee United and Celtic F.C. Stewart is an avid supporter of Celtic. Have you done Forever Young? So many wonderful songs.
