RealMedia: Football's Coming Home


Three Lions

The hardest thing in the world (other than chewing diamonds) is writing a good football song.

New Order almost succeeded with World in Motion, Manchester United failed just as impressively with Come On You Reds.

But, in 1996, football-mad comedians David Baddiel and Frank Skinner joined forces with Ian Broudie of The Lightning Seeds to produce a masterpiece for the England Euro '96 squad.

It was so successful that it was pulled out of mothballs two years later and remixed for the 1998 World Cup Squad.
