I made the bold claim that Three Lions was not the official song of Euro 96 (essentially from memory), although the evidence around on the net seems slightly contradictory. Is it possible that it was the offical song of the England team, while the tournament had Simply Red as its offical song?
Relevant pages I found are:

- http://www.lightning-seeds.co.uk/biography.htm (navigate to page 7)

- There is a difference between a team's official song and that of the tournament. The tournament song in 1996 was by Simply Red, but Three Lions was definitely the official song of the England team in '96. This can be verified by a simple look at its cover - not only does it state that it was the official England team song, but it uses the FA-trademarked "Three Lions" badge, which Baddiel/Skinner/etc wouldn't have been allowed to otherwise use (indeed, they couldn't use it for the cover of Three Lions '98, but the badge did appear on the official Ian McCulloch/Spice Girls record).

[edit] "We'll go on getting bad results"
Is that really Motson? I always thought it was Jimmy Hill... Angmering 21:52, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
It certainly sounds like Motson to me.. although my mom thinks it's Hill..
- My memory may be failing me here — it's been ten years, after all! — but in the video aren't they watching the various pundits say these things on TV at the start? Could someone who's seen the video confirm whether it's Hill or Motson? (If indeed the video does run as I vaguely remember it). Angmering 19:54, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
- Since the very first time I heard it I've thought it was Des Lynam. --Ross UK 04:40, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
It's definitely Jimmy Hill, Motson is a commentator not a pundit and probably wouldn't say that kind of thing anyway. However with regard to the video, there is a bit with Jimmy Hill and other pundits but that isn't sync'd to the thr bit with the words "We'll go on getting bad results". Jooler 12:38, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
Not it's not Motson. But I don't think it Hill. I agree with Ross UK, there's never been any question in my mind that it's Lynam.--Buc 16:03, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
I don't think it's Lynam - the one that Trevor Brooking says sounds more like Lynam to me 62.30.77.61 13:43, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] 2006
I know for a fact that this was played in Germany, i was in Munich when England defeated Ecuador, saw this being played by the offical fan fest band.
Myabe some mention of it in the aritcle
- it was very popular here in Germany last year. At our Uni cafeteria, it was played imediately on the completion of each German match, before the officual German team song. Thehalfone 18:29, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Who is Psycho? '98
I's like to see a sentence explaining the line "Psycho screaming" in the '98 version. KXL 18:39, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
