3 Lions to roar again at SPOTY

-

THE creators of the Three Lions song will be reunited for Sports Personalit­y Of The Year to honour England’s World Cup run.

Frank Skinner and David Baddiel will work with The Lightning Seeds for a special live performanc­e 22 years after their football tune was released.

The song was originally created to mark the 1996 European Championsh­ip, and was popularly revived ahead of England’s impressive campaign in Russia this year.

Its creators, Skinner, Baddiel and Ian Broudie of The Lightning Seeds, are set to give a live performanc­e at the Sport Personalit­y Of The Year ceremony during a retrospect­ive of the World Cup run in Russia.

England managed to reach the semi-final stage, echoing the campaign at the 1990 World Cup in Italy.

Gareth Southgate’s young side was eventually eliminated by Croatia.

The show will be at the Resorts World Arena in Birmingham next Sunday.
