Absolutely brilliant song. Cheesy, simple and inspiring. All the things I like! And takes me back the summer of 92 and my innocent youth. Great football track.
I have been searching for this song for years.. literally years. Been 20 years since ive heard this. When i hear this i think of Brolin and his celebration routine. Euro '92 was fabulous.
amazing Denmark they were runners up and at first didnt qualify but because of the war in Yugoslavia the Yugoslavia team was banned by UEFA . Actually some of the Denmark players were relaxing on the beach before they entered the tournement in 1992
Someone called this song abysmal??? No way. This is an awesome football theme. This tournament had an incredible story behind it. Yugoslavia kicked out due to the war, Denmark step in.....and WIN the whole thing. Unbelievable.
It was also used for the Endsleigh League coverage in the mid 90's for ITV. It was the same trick ITV did when they used their 1986 World Cup theme for Saint & Greavsie on Saturday afternoons up til about 1990 or 1991 I think
Sung by one of the best singers this country has ever produced, the late, great, sadly missed, awesomely talented Mr Paul Young ex of Sad Café and Mike and the Mechanics. RIP Youngy. We'll keep your memory alive with the music.
What a season that was - nearly every Midlands team was in the Championship that season so a local derby on telly nearly every week .Didn't need Sky that year 1993-94 I think
The English always got brilliant songs but the team could never do the same, one hit I always loved, we are the boys in Green The Republic of Ireland song for Euro 88 or give it a lash Jack.
OMG, haven't heard this since the Euro92 final! England aside, it wasn't too bad a tournament, from what I remember - think Bergkamp, Bryan Roy and Tomas Haessler were my favourite players after that. England's squad was shite tho...Barnes, Gazza, Waddle, Beardsley out, Tony Daley, Andy Sinton and Carlton Palmer in...great!!
Had Ireland won away in Poland (They were 3-1 up with 15 minutes to go but Poland scored 2 goals in 8 minutes to make it 3-3) England would not have qualified for Euro 92 the Irish would have qualified on goal difference as Ireland scored more goals than England in their qualifying group
Yugoslavia wouldve won this tournement if thet werent unfairly ejected and replaced by denmark,as they were by far the best team in europe at that time.
I hate the word cheesy, wtf is that all about????? Seriously, its a word that talks down how brilliant something is. The only cheesy thing is fucking cheese.
@barnajka Well I was praying for hearing loss after listening to this again... ;-) Seriously, it's all very nice and nostaligic, and as DarthCipient said, Euro '92 WAS a brilliant tournament, I remember it well. But judging this track simply as a piece of music and nothing more, it's honestly just a pile of bum sludge.

Endsleigh League Extra, in association with....Endsleigh. We're in a league of our own............. YOU ARE THE NUMBER ONE...
Prob best intro song ever. Nostalgia overload
Euro 92 as well. That was the first outing. England's worst euros ever. Did not get out of the group 2 years after the highs of Italia 90.
1988 was worse 4 years earlier lost all 3 group games.
'On loan to the Endsleigh League'....
I have been searching for this song for years.. literally years. Been 20 years since ive heard this.
When i hear this i think of Brolin and his celebration routine. Euro '92 was fabulous.
What was it Brolin, Dahling, Brolin, goal.
England were embarrassing that tournament! Such a comedown after Italia ‘90!
I'm 21 years old, I followed the Euro 1992 on UA-cam. Congratulations Denmark. He played incredible football.

A fucking idiot would have came out with abysmal. 🙄 They just don't know how good this is and within the context of the tournament and the time.
Spot on. The person who slated this song needs to keep taking the medication

1992
Coolest of all stories that bro
You are the number one. You are the best so just believe it.
You are the number one. You are the best, now you can see it.
Words of wisdom.
So cheesy, but so good. Memories
Classic tune great memories so many quality players miss that time.
Sung by one of the best singers this country has ever produced, the late, great, sadly missed, awesomely talented Mr Paul Young ex of Sad Café and Mike and the Mechanics. RIP Youngy. We'll keep your memory alive with the music.
Yvette Moore with you on that , as you know , what a legend , what an unbelievable talent !
Is it a different Paul Young than the one who sang "Every Time You Go Away"?
Ricey Martin Yes
best football theme song ever. 1992 :-)
Gary Phillips - this takes me back to Euro 92, and the Endsleigh league highlights on ITV. Great days for football and life.
SmoothFlow Boxing Euro 1992 for me more, England where atrocious but this song was a belter 😁
Gary Phillips - We had a shocking tournament. Remember cheering on Denmark as they beat Germany, still a shock 26 years on.
SmoothFlow Boxing I would have been 14, remember supporting Denmark in the final too 😀 Didn't think they would stand a chance against Germany.
Brian Moore commentry ❤❤
Reminds me so much of the Holland team of ‘92 - especially Marco Van Basten
Soo much yess to this. Had the tune in my head for like 25 years until a mate posted it on Facebook.
Who unliked this. It’s great
The best theme one of the top English themes for English football itv had all the best football themes
I loved this tournament, Thomas Hassler was superb!
I thought it sounded like Mike and the Mechanics and alas, it's Paul Young singing
I have been looking for this song for years and years, Cant believe some ledgend has finally posted it on youtube. AWESOME, thanks :-)
wow had this tune in the bak of my head 4 years i was 7 in 92 bin tryin 2 figure out this tune since u r a legend sir
I loved this, i had a short clip on a vhs tape THE LONDON MATCH that i kept watching now i've found it again.
💞Brilliant football song💕
I love this. One of my favourite television themes.
theme was also used for Leeds United in europe in 92/93 that season... heard it then and been looking for it since... was only 6 lol!
You need to lived thru that era to understand the significance of that 1992
tournament.......and I am proud that I did.
Bring it back iconic and brings back memories of true football
In the late 90's I had a radio show in Israel, used that theme as my theme show... Good memories :)
Tudo de bom para seu povo.muito triste o q está ocorrendo.
Thank you for your kind words. Hope it will be over soon, and peace will arrive to our area and no more bloodshed :(
I remember this theme song used on the Central match in the 90s
What a season that was - nearly every Midlands team was in the Championship that season so a local derby on telly nearly every week .Didn't need Sky that year 1993-94 I think
Yeah true. Blues, albion, forest, Derby, wolves and Leicester all in division 1 (championship)
Stoke too
Great football Anthem. Thanks for uploading
Always remember this tournament for Thomas Brolin,Denmark and i also remember a big lad called eriksson who scored against England..
Sounds like a rocky training montage
Awesome!! I spent ages trying to track this down and then forgot about it. Had a quick search for it again and here it was!
no 1 theme for no 1 channel for football
Epic, thanks for this, what a summer
Brolin...Dahlin...Broliiiiiiiiin....and it's goodnight, England! ;)
Great song,well done denmark.

#grewupintheninties
Pure cheese....but still catchy enough
Agree
When Denmark shocked the world ⚽
top theme
When I hear this tune I picture Elton Welsby doing a sexy dance in his Y-fronts.
Nightmare
Is it me or does this sound a lot like The One and Only by Chesney Hawkes?
Remember that song!
32 years ago now in 2024
Had Ireland won away in Poland (They were 3-1 up with 15 minutes to go but Poland scored 2 goals in 8 minutes to make it 3-3) England would not have qualified for Euro 92 the Irish would have qualified on goal difference as Ireland scored more goals than England in their qualifying group
Coulda woulda shoulda
If my uncle had a fanny he would have been my auntie
That sounds like something the late Brian Moore would say :)
Sung by Paul Young of Sad Cafe!!
Classic theme of Football. Before Sky destroyed Football
RIP Paul Young, what a singer.
Yugoslavia wouldve won this tournement if thet werent unfairly ejected and replaced by denmark,as they were by far the best team in europe at that time.
Sounds like Mike and mechanics
better than the official one (More Than a Game)
@JSBarnes1980
If you call that 'abysmal', you must be deaf then! :)
Brolin ....Brolin....Dahlin...BROLLINNN
haah yes I will never forget that, and I support England
Why don't they play that song on Absolute 90s?
This just reminds me of when Seaman got lobbed by Nayim😂😂😂
Someone lobbed Seaman? 😝
@daveirving ooooo yes Dave it is lol......
EURO 92 ...
Thomas Brolin
Union Berlin
Martin daaaaleen and Thomas broooleen......
TUNE
I hate the word cheesy, wtf is that all about????? Seriously, its a word that talks down how brilliant something is. The only cheesy thing is fucking cheese.
Good heavens, I'd forgotten what an abysmal tune that was.
Everyone on here loves it.
