George White is dreaming of an unlikely festive double
There's a fortnight to go until Christmas - but one gift could 'come home' early for England fans. The Three Lions have roared into the World Cup quarter-finals with some impressive performances along the way and supporters are daring to dream once again.
George White, from Ashton, left his creation behind in the wake of England's penalty heartache. But ahead of the World Cup, the 32-year-old decided to pick up his guitar once again. Now, with England potentially two games away from another final, George is eyeing up a rather unusual double - World Cup glory for England and a Christmas number one for his tune 'Up The England' in the same week. "I wrote it because everyone was buzzing about football," he said.
But since releasing a video filmed around Greater Manchester on December 4, George's song has been getting more attention and he's now eyeing up an unlikely Christmas number one success. His odds on Friday were as short as 10/1 with bookmaker Bet365, which has LadBaby as the 10/11 favourite to score a fifth successive Christmas number one.
