The indomitable Three Lions, by comedians David Baddiel and Frank Skinner and rock band The Lightning Seeds, is the go-to chant.

And it is closely followed by the reworked versions of Atomic Kitten’s Whole Again and Sweet Caroline, by Neil Diamond.

The Nineties and Noughties girl band are releasing the updated track today.

Meanwhile, Sweet Caroline was the first song Wembley DJ Tony Parry played after England beat Germany 2-0 last week.

He said: “I was going to play Vindaloo, but went with my gut.
