England fans have created a viral chant for Djed Spence following his impactful performance against Norway in the World Cup. The song, adapted from Bonnie Tyler's 'Total Eclipse of the Heart,' has become a crowd favorite.
Origins of the Chant
Fans Ben Cipolla and Dan Lucas wrote the song after Spence's substitute appearance in the 86th minute, where he helped secure a comeback win and a semi-final spot. The original tune is by the late Bonnie Tyler, who died on July 8 at age 75 from surgery complications.
Full Lyrics
The lyrics include: 'Turn around, Djed Spence, every now and then he's called upon. Turn around, Djed Spence, every now and then he's called upon. England needs you now tonight, England needs you more than ever. If your broken jaw was tight, now it's fully back together. And you know you can play left or right, down the wing you're so strong. You take a player on and do a brilliant job, you should've had a pen from being tackled by Bobb.'
The chorus: 'We really loved you tonight. Oh, Djed was such a star tonight, oh Djed was such a star. Once upon a time he was loaned out to Rennes, now he's one of England's men. Solid in defence, total eclipse of Djed Spence.'

Spence's performances have also sparked transfer interest, with reports of a major deal being canceled after his World Cup exploits.
