Wonderball! Noel Gallagher is writing a song for England's World Cup campaign.

But the track will be an unofficial anthem, rather than a tune approved by the Football Association. A music insider tells me: "After all the drama with Oasis, Noel has been taking an extended break from music. He plans to come back with strong solo material next year and he thinks a World Cup anthem is the perfect way to kick it off.

"He wants to return to classic World Cup songs of old and is taking inspiration from tracks like Three Lions which have been sung on the terraces for years."

A World Cup song would be Noel's first attack on the charts since quitting Oasis in August after falling out with brother Liam. Not one to hang about, Manchester City fan Noel is already working on ideas for the track.

The pal added: "It's early days but he's got plenty of ideas. He's been talking to his celeb friends about getting involved with the track. He's keen to get his good friend, Tom Meighan from Kasabian, to join him on vocals."

Dougies gonna love this tune. Hope he sings it loud!

Good thing that Noel is not going to stay away from the musical landscape for too long. We miss your music Chief!

I think he made his mind up about his solo album long time a go thats way I think the song for his album are already ready to be recorded , he has been asked many time before and was giving un certain answer and sure it was the reason for the split.

IF its true then Ill buy it But I reckon theres less than a 1% chance of it being true. (Hed be more likely to wait and see if the ROI win their play-off )

Shouldnt this be in the Noel Gallagher Section, btw?

Yes Sir...

If it's better than Three Lions it'll be one hell of a tune.

There IS no fucking song!! If Noel Gallagher was writing a song for England's WC campaign, I dont think it would be announced as the 3rd story on page 33 of the News Of The World!!
