The Background

Richard Spencer is a full time house-husband, looking after his one year old daughter Jemima. "In January I had a brainwave of an idea for a footballing anthem; no doubt propelled by Man City's runaway successes and prolific goal scoring. Over the subsequent evenings, and snatches of time when Jemima was asleep I began work on creating the song."

In a matter of days it had transformed itself, albeit crudely, into a song for England's World Cup 2002 campaign. Six weeks later, following much sweating and late nights, together with the assistance of some friends who could sing, Richard had recorded and produced what can only be described as the anthem for all international competitions to come.

Richard will be donating proceeds from sales of the song to Sport Relief. A truly generous offer given that the song is already proving to be a winner!

The Result

The song is called "New World Cup", the artist is Dexter.

Listen to it and buy it at www.newworldcup.co.uk.

Dexter's New World Cup is an uplifting pop-rendition of warm and hearty themes which not only provides England supporters with a rousing, spine-tingling singalong anthem, but also tells the story of England's recent progress in the World Cup.

The song is a forward looking uplifting and memorable anthem for 2002 and beyond. It does not hang onto history by falling back on the past dreams of 1966.
