World Cup Willie set to roar again - thanks to Lonnie Donegan Junior
Comments |
The World Cup song released in the year England lifted
football's greatest prize has been brought out of retirement to
cheer our lads on.
Skiffle maestro Lonnie Donegan's son, who grew up in Margate,
has recorded a new version of the 1966 anthem World Cup Willie.
Tony Donegan, who works under the name Lonnie Donegan Junior,
will release the record on major download sites on Monday
(June 7) - just days before the World Cup kicks off in South
Africa.
The catchy tune has been completely revamped and it is hoped its
return to the terraces will be a good omen for Fabio Capello's
England squad, 44 years since Sir Alf Ramsey's squad lifted the
trophy.
The song is named after the cartoon character World Cup Willie -
a little lion with a Union flag on his jersey who was the very
first World Cup mascot.
