Kaiser Chiefs frontman Ricky Wilson's 'cringe' World Cup anthem he recorded with Freddie Flintoff

As the World Cup is here we thought it was time to remind football fans across the globe of the one worst received England football anthems of all-time.

Sadly for the city of Leeds and one its favourite bands we have to take light-hearted aim at Kaiser Chiefs frontman Ricky Wilson. Back in 2018, Ricky, 44, teamed up with former cricketer Freddie Flintoff (obviously…) to produce a cover of Boney M's Rasputin - dedicated to captain Harry Kane.

The anthem, released to coincide with the World Cup in Russia, featured the lyrics: "Ra ra Raspu-teen, England's got a goal machine, he's Harry Kane and he's gonna score. Ra ra Rasputin, he's captain of the England team, he's off to Russia to lay down the law."
