John Cleese has decided to release a song for football fans at the World Cup.

The comedian, who played Basil Fawlty in the long running comedy Fawlty Towers has taken inspiration from one of the show's most well known phrases: "Don't mention the war."

The new England anthem is named 'Don't Mention the War' and will be available for download ahead of the tournament's kick-off on 9 June.

"It's a catchy tune," said Cleese. "Hopefully you'll be hearing it on a football terrace near you, very, very soon."
