Take That to write England World Cup anthem By Dan Wooton, 25/10/2009
GARY BARLOW has a new goal . . . to write England's World Cup anthem and perform it with his man band TAKE THAT.
The lads want to follow in the footie-steps of NEW ORDER, the LIGHTNING SEEDS and, er, the SPICE GIRLS.
They're in talks about doing the official song for our 2010 World Cup campaign and I reckon Gary, JASON ORANGE, HOWARD DONALD and MARK OWEN are a great choice to ring out in South African stadiums next year when ROONEY and co take on the world.
My TT spy told me: "Gary's really excited about it. He wants to make it a real belter that'll get the England fans on their feet."
The band are still to put pen to paper on the deal, but an insider told me: "The Football Association have had approaches from lots of acts. But Take That are the obvious choice."
Sadly, the last couple of official England songs have been awful. ANT & DEC's We're On The Ball for the 2002 tournament in Japan and South Korea was dismal. But not as bad as the Spice Girls, who, along with OCEAN COLOUR SCENE, ECHO AND THE BUNNYMEN and SPACE, were responsible for 1998's (How Does It Feel To Be) On Top of the World.
So give it your best shot, Gary.

Take That's Soccer Song
Take That are set to record the official World Cup song for the England soccer team.
The 'Greatest Day' hitmakers - Gary Barlow, Mark Owen, Jason Orange and Howard Donald - are in talks with the English Football Association to write a new anthem for the event, which takes place in South Africa next summer.
A source said: "Gary's really excited about it. He wants to make it a real belter that'll get the England fans on their feet.
"The Football Association have had approaches from lots of acts but Take That are the obvious choice."
If Take That do sign the deal, they will follow in the footsteps of New Order, the Lightening Seeds and the Spice Girls, who have all recorded and official song for the England team.
Last month, it was reported Mel B wanted to get the Spice Girls back together for a one-off performance in South Africa at the same time as the World Cup, even if Victoria Beckham didn't want to take part.
A source said: "Mel's determined to get the girls back together for the World Cup and wants them to plough ahead as a foursome if Victoria doesn't want to take part. She has got the others excited by the idea of a one-off appearance. They are very interested."
