David Baddiel has admitted that he never thought he would hear Three Lions play after an England tournament win.
The last time England won a significant football title was 1966’sDavid recorded the classic football song with
and rock band Lightning Seeds in 1996 ahead of the World Cup, at that time marking just 30 years of hurt.‘It was beautiful to hear it sung out at Wembley yesterday as we finally clinched a final – I really did think that would never happen. It was so amazing to actually think, “Oh, we won” – this doesn’t happen.
‘It’s actually happened, and then the team all coming into the press conference and anarchically breaking [it] up by singing the song… it was just so brilliant, and so in the spirit of the Lionesses, which is kind of joyful and unbridled and brilliant, the way they play.’He also shared that he hoped his daughter and her children would think of football not as ‘default owned by men’ but as ‘the same game, played by women or played by men’.
‘It’s the same game, played by women or played by men. And what’s totally brilliant in the last sort of few weeks is the sense that the country can get behind it in entirely the same way.’
