New Order bassist Peter Hook has hinted that John Barnes may be involved in a re-release of England's World Cup song 'World In Motion'.
Hook said that there are currently talks for the former football star to return for an updated version of the 1990 hit.
"We've been offered the official World Cup anthem nearly every time," he told TalkSport.
"Tony Wilson lined up Beckham to do the rap and we were going to redo the song [in 2002]. But the FA then reconsidered it, saying, 'No, no, no we're going with Ant & Dec'. I would have loved to have heard Beckham do a rap and he was up for it.
"But this time on the table is John Barnes re-doing the rap."
Other England World Cup songs have included Embrace's 'World At Your Feet' in 2006, Ant & Dec's 'We're On The Ball' in 2002 and Baddiel & Skinner's 'Three Lions' in 1998.
Coventry rock trio The Enemy recently put themselves forward to record the 2010 single.
