Footballs Coming Home: Euro 96 Retro England Home Shirt
Share
Relive the memories of dentist chair celebrations, Gazza's bleached blonde hair & the legendary 'Footballs Coming Home' summer anthem with the Euro 96 retro England home shirt.
The last major football tournament for England at Italia 90' saw the 3 Lions play in the picturesque Continental cities of Turin & Milan. Euro 96' was a little bit different. It was played on home soil in post industrial Northern cities like Manchester & Leeds where Old Trafford & Elland Road would host football fans from all across the continent. It was Gazza's famous bleached blonde hair era at Rangers with Terry Venables at the wheel & a new generation of talent like Gary Neville, Jamie Redknapp & Robbie Fowler in the squad. England fans really did think it was coming in the Summer of 96'. Relive the nostalgia of Euro 96' with the retro England home shirt as famously worn by Gazza when he did his 'dentist chair' goal celebration in the group stages against Scotland.

'Footballs Coming Home' from Baddiel, Skinner and the Lightning Seeds was the official anthem of the summer of 1996. Taking what has recently been coined 'blokecore' to the absolute max with the trio wearing adidas trainers, jeans and England shirts, the video for the song had us all rattled up and ready up to go. Gazza's famous dentist chair celebration took a stab at the British tabloids after they went on their usual hate campaign against the players after a night out in Hong Kong got a little bit too rowdy. With games across the nation from Old Trafford to Wembley, a Britpop soundtrack & a summer of football you will probably never forget, Euro 96' really did have it all for football fans. That summer we really did think football 'was coming home', but sadly it didn't with Southgate missing a crucial penalty in the semi-finals against Germany. Little did he know that he would lead his own team to Wembley 25 years later in a post lockdown chaotic final at Wembley.
