We’ll also be showing the entirety of this goal-frenzied performance from 2001 when England pummeled Germany (5-1) in a World Cup 2002 qualifying match:
Football, it’s coming home…
‘ave it.

On the back of their third studio album ‘The Winter Of Mixed Drinks‘, Glasgow’s Frightened Rabbit is heading to Australia to play the Splendour In The Grass Festival. If you don’t have tickets to see them there, you can still catch them at Melbourne’s Hi-Fi Bar on August 2 and The Factory in Sydney on August 3.
