35 yeas ago today the official England song for Italia 90 was released. Only five players had turned up to the recording.

They didn't know it was New Order, and potentially the greatest football anthem of all time.

Arrivederci, it’s one-on-one...

They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old.
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, we will remember them.

‘They went with songs to the battle, they were young,
Straight of limb, true of eye, steady and aglow.
They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted;
They fell with their faces to the foe.’
