Why do England fans sing Three Lions?
Three Lions was a song released in 1996 by English band The Lightning Seeds to mark England’s participation in that year’s European Championships, held in England.
The music was written by the Lightning Seeds’ Ian Broudie, along with comedians David Baddiel and Frank Skinner â presenters of the hit football-themed comedy show Fantasy Football League.
This song is one of only three songs to top the British charts twice with different lyrics, the others being “Mambo No. 5”; (in versions by Lou Bega and Bob the Builder) and “Do They Know It’s Christmas?”; (by Band Aid and Band Aid 30).
It was rereleased in 1998 with updated words.
It regularly reappears in the UK singles chart around major football tournaments involving the England team.

Why are there three lions on England’s shirts?
England wear three lions on their shirts â as they have done ever since the first international against Scotland in 1872 â because it is the logo of the FA.
However where that logo comes from is a much longer and interesting story.
The lions have a history going back to the 12th century, when a standard with three gold lions on a red field was carried into battle to inspire the troops.
The first one came from Henry I â known as the lion of England â 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 also had a lion on her family crest.
Richard the Lionheart later used three golden lions on a scarlet background as a symbol of the English throne and, after that, it appeared on the Royal Arms of every succeeding monarch.
So when the FA was formed in 1863, it seemed natural enough to base their logo on this stirring royal shield.
Since then, the design has only been changed once, in 1949 â when the crown that was on top of the lions was removed to differentiate the badge from that of the English cricket team.
