Shaun Ryder has helped craft a new anthem for the England football team.

With the European Championships almost upon us the Happy Mondays frontman has unveiled 'We Are England'.

Due for release on June 8th, the track boasts production from Paul Oakenfold and Goldie, while Ryder's Black Grape comrade Kermit lends guest vocals.

Shaun Ryder commented: "We have the youngest team in the Euros which is a good thing – when you're young you deal with things in a different way. They have to score goals and that's what they've done since they were 8 years old, so it's just another game for them. Hopefully our song will send out a positive vibe to the England fans and put a smile on there faces. We made this record for the real heroes of our country, the working men and women of England."
