He's the man

Cap in hand

Eoin Hand

In the stand

We're all off to Rome

Cascarino

The best in the world

And Kevin Moran too

Doesn't let 'em in

Holds the fort

Wearing number one

Is from Donegal

Billy's staying home

And Houghton got the goal

Only one can go

Now we know who's best

Listen to the Lansdowne Roar

Aldridge got another score

Party on the dancefloor

Safer than a locked door

Packed in pubs

Ticket stubs

Suncream rubs

English clubs

European Championship

The summer of '88

Razor Houghton in Stuttgart

Joxer and the lads away

Danger man

Sure thing

Supersub

Goal machine

The Tricolour unfurling

Schillaci twist and turning

There'll be no returning

No more Italian learning

Voices rising higher

Get off to a flyer

England waiting for us

We've got Jack to mind us

Butragueño

Manolo

Fernando

Michel

Legends of the game

Opel invest

Looking on with pride

The men who started it

Cans out by the swimming pool

Leave them looking like a fool

We'll be ready for the duel

Ronnie Whelan's so cool

Con

Bertie

Charlie

Micko Byrne

Qualifying

Gelsenkirchen

Stuttgart

Hear 'em singing

Georgie Best

No time to rest

Losing tragic

Cagliari

Lansdowne

Rome

Palermo

Squad

Chances

Fans

Football
