A CAFE owner fed up with the "same old England songs" has written and performed his own.

England-mad Daryl Markham, boss of the Sub-Station in Seaford, has released Get Ready To Roar to support the team during Euro 2020.

With England set to play arch-rivals Germany this afternoon, Mr Markham, 50, is hoping his track can help people get behind the team.

He said: "I got fed up with the same old songs every year.

"Three Lions is alright, but it's a bit dated. 30 years of hurt? More like 60 years.

"I thought why not, lets try something a bit different to get people going."

The song calls on the team "to do the same as Bobby Moore" and "bring that cup back home".

Mr Markham's emotional appearance on X Factor UK more than ten years ago has racked up more than 7,000,000 views on YouTube.

He moved the judges to tears after explaining he lost his brother to lung cancer six weeks after his diagnosis.

Speaking of his England song, he said: "As I lost my brother to cancer, we would like to raise money for Cancer Research.

"We have a very good relationship with the lovely ladies that work in the charity shop just around the corner from us in Seaford."

Building on his X-Factor fame, the cafe owner is hoping his song also has a special something that resonates with fans.

He said: "We recorded the track in Brighton a little while back to use for the world cup, but it wasn't reading in time.

"I'm a massive fan, I've been up to Wembley loads of times and even watched a couple of matches in David Beckham's box.

"I've been playing the song all the time down the pub, at the local football club and the restaurant.

"I think we've got a good chance of beating the Germans, but I don't fancy our chances against the French."

Listen to the song online by searching Get Ready to Roar by Daryl Markham on Spotify or YouTube.

Unsurprisingly, topping the Most Played UK National Football Anthems Chart is 90s football anthem, Three Lions, performed by David Baddiel, Frank Skinner and the Lightning Seeds.

That is according to PRS for Music data released last week.

This year marks 25 years since the original version was the official song of the England team at EURO ’96.

With its popular “It's coming home” refrain, the single has spent 45 weeks in the UK Official Singles Chart, peaking at Number 1.

Coming in at number two is World in Motion, a track by England and New Order for the 1990 World Cup.

In third, This Time (We'll Get it Right) by the England World Cup Squad 82'.
