The catchy, anthemic opener is about a respected junior football coach who ruined his career through rumours about a lurid sexual encounter with a female student.
The title and the lyric 'It only takes one tree to make a thousand matches but only takes one match to burn a thousand trees' came from the back of a box of England's Glory matches.
