A recent fan event showcased Paul Gascoigne’s attempt at John Barnes' iconic rap from the 1990 World Cup song 'World in Motion.' While Barnes originally performed the rap, he revealed previously unseen footage of Gazza and Peter Beardsley trying their hand at it. Barnes recounted how the rap was added last-minute, catching the attention of fans and illustrating the camaraderie among England stars during the recording. This nostalgic moment is a reminder of the song's lasting impact on football culture.
When we did that England song, there wasn't supposed to be a rap because they're [New Order] not a rap group. But all six of us who were there had a go at the rap. And because I was the best, obviously I did the rap.
However, I was working about four years ago at an event where they had a sound engineer, and the sound engineer said his dad was the sound engineer live in 1990 when we did the song - and he's got a version of Paul Gascoigne and Peter Beardsley's attempt at the rap.
