Its the Mayall.<\/p>\n<p>England&#8217;s\u00a0powerhouse of comedy is\u00a0rumoured\u00a0 to be bringing two typically English words together, footballs and\u00a0Thespians. Rik&#8217;s song \u00a0&#8220;Nobel England&#8221; is said to be a\u00a0genuinely\u00a0serious\u00a0song (we&#8217;ll\u00a0believe\u00a0it when we see\/hear it) without any of your usual vindaloo style terrace ranting rubbish. \u201cFootball chants are one of the great traditions of following football\u201d says Mayall \u201c&#8230;and Shakespeare is also part of our national heritage. It seemed only natural that they should go together.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Rik and his people have not yet blessed us with its intended release date yet but we do know that it will go directly head-to-head with the FA&#8217;s official song which is yet to be released. \u00a0Closer to the\u00a0tournament\u00a0more will be available in the way of downloads or videos for the song. Meanwhile,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.nobleengland.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Check out Rik&#8217;s site with a chance to back him<\/a>, along with the extra added fun of winning dinner with Rik!
