Soccer legend Ally McCoist is apparently quite the rock fan, or so it seems judging by his reactions to AC/DC’s Hells Bells being played at Munich’s Allianz Arena ahead of a Champions League quarter-final match earlier this week.
The Scottish commentator and host for talkSPORT couldn’t hide his enthusiasm the moment those iconic bells chimed through the stadium PA, gushing immediately: “It can’t be AC/DC! If a guitar comes in here in a minute, it’s gonna be unbelievable!”
And in true AC/DC fan fashion, McCoist’s face lights up as soon as the guitar intro kicks in: “It’s Hells Bells! AC/DC!” he exclaims. “Cannae beat a bit of AC/DC man!”
The former player also follows up with a good dose of headbanging, air-guitar strumming, and air-drumming, as he sings praises of the band: “They’re brilliant!”
“I saw them, Glasgow Apollo, 1980. That’s the opening tune!” he adds.
"Cannae beat a bit of AC/DC man!" 🎸
