Fan who wrote Whole Again cover returns with a new England banger

Charlie Herbert

“Three Lions going all the way, with Gareth Southgate”

The fan who wrote the viral Whole Again cover for Gareth Southgate and England in 2018 has written a new England banger ahead of the semi-final between the Three Lions and Denmark on Wednesday evening.

A cover of Backstreet Boys classic ‘I Want It That Way’, it’s another very solid effort from Tom Woods, the man who brought us one of the greatest England chants of recent years.

In case you’ve been living under a rock for the last three years and haven’t heard Tom’s famous Whole Again cover from 2018, here it is for some context.

Ah good times hey? Really takes you back doesn’t it, to that glorious summer of 2018.

Of course, England are on the verge of eclipsing their achievement in Russia that summer. If they were to beat Denmark at Wembley, the summer of 2021 would surely surpass 2018 in the annals of English football history.

So with further ado, here’s Tom’s offering for this summer….

He admits that this number “didn’t come as naturally as the last song” but says “if it gets your juices flowing” for the semi final then that’s good enough for him.

Either way, you can be sure to hear plenty of Tom’s original creation throughout Wednesday. And if England win? Well, let’s cross that bridge if we come to it…
