Background notes
Archive material and source history
3 Lions 98 was a one-off project by comedians Frank Skinner and David Baddiel, who wrote the lyrics to what became England's unofficial football anthem. They worked with Ian Broudie's band The Lightning Seeds, who provided the music. The song 'Footballs Coming Home' started as a satirical take on England's World Cup disappointments but caught on with the public during the 1998 tournament.
The track appeared on a 1998 album also called '3 Lions 98,' which topped the UK charts that year. Despite some criticism about nationalistic overtones, the song stuck around as a stadium chant. It gets played at England matches and tournaments, more as a fan ritual now than anything the creators actively maintain.
