‘I heard German fans singing it after they knocked
England out. I had to resist throwing a TV out of the window’
I knew that New Order had done a
Football song [Italia 90’s World in Motion], but I was hesitant when the FA asked me to do Euro 96. Fantasy Football with Frank Skinner and David Baddiel was big on TV at the time, so I thought they should sing it and the band could go uncredited. But everybody was like, “No. It’s got to be the Lightning Seeds as well.”
