Jimmy Greaves plays the England Euro 2012 team anthem
THE England Squad for the Euro 2012 championships have been announced. Sadly, no Joey Barton. The chance to see Barton do what England fans want – fight the opposition and tweet about what a twat everyone else is – has been overlooked. Can England still win? Unhelpfully, Germany will be stronger than ever, having taken over Greece and reaping a 90% share of any win bonuses for Portugal, Spain and Ireland.
But with a good wind and a tall player up front, England can do as well as ever they did (oh no!).
The full team England is: Joe Hart, Rob Green, John Ruddy; Glen Johnson, Phil Jones, John Terry, Joleon Lescott, Gary Cahill, Ashley Cole, Leighton Baines; Theo Walcott, Stewart Downing, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Steven Gerrard, Gareth Barry, Frank Lampard, Scott Parker, Ashley Young, James Milner; Jermain Defoe, Wayne Rooney, Danny Welbeck, Andy Carroll.
Captain is Steven Gerrard. Hate figure is John Terry. Just there for the Duty Free is Andy Carroll.
Hurrah!
Every team needs a song. So here’s an oldies but a goodie. Take it away Jimmy Greaves:
