In A Different League | The Red Army

aim to get ‘Dont You Want Me’ to No 1 As most of you will be aware, there has been a campaign by the Red Army to get the Human League classic ‘Don’t You Want Me’ to number one in honour of Peter Pawlett. Peter told us, “I have been totally overwhelmed by the response from our supporters to the Peter Pawlett baby song. “Having to miss the Cup Final was hugely disappointing but the fans were fantastic with me after the game. To hear them all singing the song and chanting my name was an unbelievable feeling.

Peter told us, “I have been totally overwhelmed by the response from our supporters to the Peter Pawlett baby song.

“Having to miss the Cup Final was hugely disappointing but the fans were fantastic with me after the game. To hear them all singing the song and chanting my name was an unbelievable feeling. I want to thank them all for their support and for their efforts to make the song number 1 in the charts.”

The Human League has this afternoon released the following statement:

“For us to be waking up this morning to find ‘Don’t You Want Me’ at No.4 on the ITunes singles chart was absolutely amazing and has to rank as one of the biggest surprises of our career to date, which after over thirty five years in the music business is really saying something. We are slightly stunned but at the same time very honoured that the fans of Aberdeen F.C. have chosen our song as their anthem to Peter Pawlett and their achievement in getting it so high in the charts in the space of just one day is a real testament to both their dedication to their club and to this player in particular.

“Speaking as a band who have always enjoyed a deeply loyal and enthusiastic fanbase of our own we know just how important the fans really are and what a difference they can make. We do of course wish the Aberdeen fans every success in their campaign to honour Peter by getting ‘DYWM’ to No.1 on Sunday and regardless of whether they succeed or not we hope that both they and everyone involved with the club have a fantastic day at their League Cup Parade this coming Sunday. As we believe the saying goes in Aberdeen??.. Come On You Reds!”

Everyone at AFC would like to thank the Human League and their management team for their support.
