For football Wembley was the place to be,
At least in Euro 96 it was for me.
Alan Shearer was the star of the England side,
With his amount of talent there's nothing you can hide.
Euro 96 involved sixteen teams,
But first impressions weren't all they seemed.
England didn't set of to a very good start,
But they certainly didn't take their performance to heart.
With teams like Germany competing for the top,
England knew they had to give their best shot.
It was 1966 played again and again,
But the end result was much different than then. Caroline McEwan, Fourth Avenue, Heaton, Bolton.
