Football's coming home! England's efforts have 'Three Lions' pushing for No. 1 spot

England's efforts at the World Cup could be about to send the iconic ‘Three Lions’ song by David Baddiel, Frank Skinner and the Lightning Seeds back to the top of the charts.

First released ahead of Euro ’96 to inspire patriotism in a success-starved nation as they welcomed major tournament competition to home soil, the single has gone on to become the theme tune to England’s endeavours ever since.

It was reworked for the 1998 World Cup in France, with both versions having made their way to the No.1 spot in the UK Top 40.
