Baddiel: ‘The Lionesses brought it home. Football came home with the Lionesses. And some might say that should be the end of it. Stop singing it. But we decided to give it one more go on the basis that the blokes haven’t brought it home'. No problems, Jon. The man you're looking for is none other than veteran midfielder Kevin Richardson. The secrets of the ultimate roast potato: TOM PARKER BOWLES digs deep to find the answers, and reveals how top chefs including Nigella Lawson and Jamie Oliver make theirs

The song begins with The Lionesses winning Euro 2022 at Wembley before Skinner and Baddiel again lament on the fortune's of the men's team who again came close at the last World Cup and the Euros but failed to win those championships.But football fans are questioning the decision to release it again - with some suggesting it is so toe-curling and saccharin-sweet that it makes them want to vomit. Many suggested it was just Skinner and Baddiel cashing in by 'flogging Three Lions song to death'. The Azzurri wear blue because it is the colour of Savoia, the ruling house of Italy from 1861 to 1946. When the Italian Republic was established in 1946, the tricolour was adopted as the national flag - however Italy's famous azure blue kit remained.

Juventus won the Italian League on the last day without ever having been in first place the entire season. Has this ever happened before in any league?" asks Filipe Lowndes Marques. Why do Italy play in blue when their national flag does not contain this colour?" asks Kerry Gallant.Which current league club(s) have been promoted the most times and which has been relegated the most times?" asks Dan Nicholls. In a previous Knowledge we suggested that two Swedish towns, Uddevalla and Sandviken, (population: 40,000 and 29,000 respectively) were the tiniest host towns in World Cup history. Surely there can't be a smaller one out there, can there? Omid Scobie rips into 'hot-headed' William in extraordinary interview: Author accuses Prince of being in 'heir mode' and driving rift with Harry - as he insists he's NOT on the Sussexes' payroll ahead of the release of his bombshell new book

Mr Baddiel admitted when the song launched on BBC1 last night: 'Some might say that should be the end of it. Stop singing it. But we decided to give it one more go on the basis that the blokes haven’t brought it home'.Bobby Brazier's Strictly tribute to Jade Goody moves judges to tears as he and a sobbing Dianne Buswell perform emotional dance in honour of his late mother - while his father weeps in the crowd There is also several nods to The Lionesses who won Euro 2022 this summer, England's 1966 World Cup hero Sir Geoff Hurst is a carol singer and Frank Skinner even dresses as Noddy Holder from Slade. It was their son Richard the Lionheart – famed for his exploits in the Crusades (he actually spent very little time in England, was once held for ransom by an Austrian and a German, and was killed by a Frenchman while besieging a castle) – who decided to combine all three lions to make up his arms. My club, Albion Rovers, failed to renew manager John McVeigh's contract in the close-season. He has consequently taken a job at Stenhousemuir and has signed nine of "his" team from last season. Is this some sort of record for number of transfers between senior clubs?" asks Tommy. I will never see my children grow up': British father's anguish as he learns his daughter, 12, was murdered by Hamas thugs in Israeli Kibbutz massacre six weeks ago - in atrocity that also killed her twin brother

Skinner sings 'loving the Lionesses win' during the opening verse, before singing the chorus: 'Three Lions on a sleigh, with She-Lions inspiration. Santa says let’s play, the Christmas tree formation.' Richard Gough may have insisted that he played in six derbies, including "the one that just might stump you, San Jose Clash v Los Angeles Galaxy" - but John Clements is less convinced. "The cities are 343 miles apart!" he exclaims. So now you know. For a fuller answer see the July 12, 2000 edition in the Knowledge Archive, where you can also find out why Germany's away kit is green. The original, which topped the charts along with the reworked Three Lions '98, has sold almost two million copies and has been streamed tens of millions of time.

The first one came from Henry I - known as the lion of England - who had a lion on his standard on taking power in 1100. Shortly afterwards he married Adeliza, whose father also had a lion on his shield, and to commemorate the event he added a second lion to his standard. In 1154, two lions became three when Henry II married Eleanor of Aquitaine, who - yes, you've guessed it - also had a lion her family crest. The short answer is that England wear the three lions on their shirts - as they have done ever since the first international against Scotland in 1872 - because, as representatives of the Football Association, they're simply sporting the logo of the FA. Northern Lights to shine across parts of the UK tonight: Is your area going to be illuminated as Aurora Borealis lights up the night sky? Speaking about the song, Skinner said: 'We just had to do it. Christmas World Cup songs are not like buses.
