Back Home (England song)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Back Home was a popular song by the 1970 England World Cup squad. The single which began the tradition of the England squad recording World Cup songs to celebrate their involvement, it reached #1 on the UK singles chart for three weeks in May 1970.
The England team failed to qualify for the next two World Cups and, although they did release records upon qualification in 1982 and 1986, they did not reach #1 again until 1990 when they topped the charts with the New Order collaboration World In Motion.
