BURNLEY musician Steve Reid could get into the charts with a football song he's written for Bolton Wanderers FC.

On Monday he releases a CD single, The Wanderers Anthem, with his band, Stray Nation

The song is played at Bolton's ground every time the team run out on to the pitch.

The single was commissioned by the club to celebrate the opening of their new Reebok Stadium and their return to the premiership.

The music and its accompanying video were recorded at Steve's Burnley studio, Visual Concepts.

The expected sales to Bolton fans could be enough to send the CD into the top 40.

"We're really pleased with this single," said Steve, who plays keyboards and guitar.

"We've tried to keep away from the traditional football song formula - and it seems to go down well with the crowds."

Steve, a Clarets fan, has recently returned from a tour of Europe, where the band have a big following. Their last big concert was in front of 3,000 people in Gibraltar, homeland of lead singer Giles Ramirez.
