Hide AdIt features the same chorus, but with updated and re-worded verses. Lyrics include the lines “I’m thinking ‘will we do it this time?’, is it our year to shine, because we’re playing sublime?’” and - “Who’d have thought, two goals from John Stone? And the Germans have gone home.”
The video shows Jimmy and Duncan playing comical ball games in their garden, and Jimmy singing into a microphone cut to footage of England playing and Harry Kane scoring.
Speaking to the Standard, Jimmy May said: “I absolutely think England can do it this time. I was proud of how they played yesterday, with our players not reacting to Colombia’s dirty tactics trying to goad them and get them yellow-carded.”
He added: “I think England manager Gareth Southgate is doing a fantastic job - although I will still never forgive him for Euro ‘96.”
