@@el_zh6x902 over a year ago now this. Google is your friend at this point but they banned it from being sung at matches. Racist undertones to the origin of the song.
Who's banned it? How can anyone ban anything!!! Fk em we will do as we want we are men of the world and I'll go where I like, say what I like, and do as I like! Fk anyone who says I can't I'll die for what I believe and fk anyone who says different I'll discuss shit with ya but ya won't stop me singing what I want or doing as I want saying what I want!

Love this, memories of that World Cup victory and my lovely Dad who died in July. We played this at his funeral. He loved rugby all his life and the only time I ever saw him cry with happiness was when England won that match. Many happy times with him in that crowd at Twickenham, And thanks Jonny, will be forever grateful
I'm Scottish and this song especially with ub40 singing it fricking brilliant Ali's voice and the rest of the band and the choir amazing and the song brings tears to anyone's eyes and it unites people when you find out the meaning of the song thanks ub40 yous sang the song amazingly well done big love xx
Remember the time !!! Rugby worldcup 2003 final. emotion and pressure were at their peak on that day. I could not breathe so much, my heart was beating so loudly and come this freedom from the majestic drop of Sir Johnny Wilkinson in the extra times. 🎼 swing slow, sweet chariot 🎼. long life to the 15 of the rose
I never forget it, I was a second chef in a Australian themed pub (up and down under) in Nottingham. There was 4-6 Aussie fans in (friends of the owner) and about 500 England fans all of them happy, singing and not one fight. I was doing breakfasts with the kitchen porter whilst the head chef helped downstairs on the bar. The food tickets dried up at full time so me and the KP watched the over time from the condiment station next to the kitchen, I'm surprised the floor didn't fall through when Johnny scored the winner ROFL. The owner and assistant manager went and got lots of buns after we cleaned up, and all the rest of the breakfast fry up items got served to the staff for free, he never let us eat any of the food without paying.
This is the best version of this it's fabulous and brings a lump to the throat. Fans must learn the movements to this. Imagine a stadium full of England supporters all enacting the actions. AMAZING
I sing this in church and reminds me of Granddad Vern who died when I was young. RIP. Miss you. Always cheered on England when it was Football or Rugby. RIP Vern 1947-2013
Oh My whenever I watch England Rugby and when they sing this Song males me Cry....gives me the hope that we will win...this song makes me wanna tackle somebody 🤣🤣🤣🤣🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌lessgo England
The United colours of sound were fricking brilliant singing with ub40 the meaning of the song in its self brings tears to your eyes and as I've said I'm Scottish and this song is brilliant and ub40 in happier times were fricking brilliant singing it well done again ub40 and the United colours of sound big love xx
One of the most beautiful Negro Spirituals ever !! Never forget this song's history, origins and true meaning !! Blessings be to our historical enslaved brothers and sisters from Africa & The Caribbean. 😢
Está canción me lleva a mis más tempranos recuerdos. Más allá de la letra tan profunda y el mensaje tan espiritual, me lleva a un momento de mi vida donde todo era nuevo y me sorprendía por todo. Un abrazo desde Perú a todos los integrantes de este fabuloso grupo
This song always brings a tear to my eye, when you know the original meaning and also because it unites people, banning it would be such a silly thing to do
My son is 16 and left education now .luckily enough my son was the DJ on the night you played this 2 times it never went down well with the teachers 🇬🇧🇯🇲💯😂 left wing bastards
I'm here to say in 2023 almost summer time that this was a absolute wicked version of swing low, only Ali and the band sound like this they are fucking awesome veteran homegrown music makers and I've been chilling to these all my life. From way back when I was literally a small child. You've gotta be some serious anal retentive not to at least enjoy some of their music. I remember tromping over to my school pals shed he'd decked out with electric, lights, grill, bed, speakers, curtains, carpet, many a bong and pipe, hot knives ready to heat, lots of girls coming etc and we'd slap on some Baggariddim and just get high and have a good laugh while chilling to good music......and I'm still appreciating them today. A proper success story they came from nothing.
Wonder how many policemen will be dismissed for misconduct and will receive their UB40 cards for real here in the 🇬🇧 as the swamp in drained 🤔🤭😉 Cheers for this guys 👍 you performed this amazing song perfectly 🇺🇸👌 😍🙏
Here to show my support for this song in 2020. Banning this won't stop us singing it during England matches.
Jist wait for them to ask before the game to not sing it and the sheer volume they will be drowned out with un return
This song will allways be the best

@@el_zh6x902 have one guess.
It's "racist"

Can't watch this without thinking of the scene in the 2 part final special of Auf Wiedersehen Pet, in the darts match with the Aussies
I've sung this with just every racial group there is at Twickenham, this builds unity, banning it would divide people
Nothing racist about Ub40
I don't care about your politics colour or creed. I love this song. I love the sport.
