With America's Greatest Hits.
On the day that England kick off their attempt at a World Cup win in Germany, actor James Nesbitt takes a wry look at the chequered history of football-inspired tunes that have tied in with teams, major events and celebrations. From Bobby Moore, Jack Charlton, Glenn Hoddle and David Beckham to New Order, Squeeze, Robert Lindsay and the Rainbow Choir, Nesbitt recalls the official, unofficial and shamelessly awful hits and misses that have galvanised the vocal cords of the chant-heavy flag-waving masses. The programme ultimately turns its attentions to the official 2006 single, World at Your Feet, by World Cup pop ambassadors Embrace.
