Won't mind hearing that and an England song that knows how to pronounce England.

Not the greatest lyrics but Giants Stadium, June 18, 1994... hard to beat ole-ole-ole-ole... olayyyy! oolayyyy...  ole-ole-ole-ole... olayyyy! oolayyyy... ole-ole-ole-ole... olayyyy! oolayyyy...  ole-ole-ole-ole... olayyyy! oolayyyy...
and that old classic.. Oh! Ah! Paul McGrath...say Oh! Ah! Paul McGrath...

Maybe you needed to be there  8)

New Order's World In Motion is a classic.

Its far less objectionable without the middle "er".

Christ I cringe when I hear that olay shite.  A gaelic team over here started chanting it when they won the championship last year.  Nearly boked.  You should be castrated for singing that shite.

Excellent,I wasn't in Giants Stadium but I'll never forget the day I was in Lansdowne when they beat the Dutch 1-0...
Ole Ole Ole was never sung as good as it was after that match...

Always enjoyed this Scots one from the 80s

Anyone remember the Dutch song from either Euro 88 or WC 90 - it was to the tune of Danny Boy.

Wasn't for the World Cup, but the Lightning Seeds song with the fantasy football boys was a great song back in '96.

Was indeed didn't they do a remake for the world cup? Germans used the song as a taunt :D
